Not everything I do requires the full knowledge of the science behind it for me to enjoy an experience. I can even attend churches and get something out of it. In fact, I used the hospital chapels for meditation while my mom was in there dying last year. Just because I don't buy the supernatural aspects of some activity doesn't mean I can't enjoy it for my own purposes. If something produces positive results, that's all that counts. Save worrying about causation until after enjoying the effect.

Now if medicine warned that there could be serious side-effects, I would reconsider. And if the action was totally subjective, like prayer, offering no real world benefit, then I wouldn't bother.
