Magnetic Therapy

There are many alternates to traditional medicine that are out there. The problem is that most people don’t know about them or don’t believe that they can work. Traditional pharmaceuticals are relatively young compared to some of the other tried and true, natural healing methods out there. Magnetic therapy uses magnets to heal the body and works on the principle that the magnetic field will induce current and increase blood flow. Magnetic therapy can be found in a number of different objects including magnetic bracelets, magnetic jewellery, or even magnetic pillows.

First, lets talk a little bit about how magnetic-therapy works. Magnetictherapy works on the principle that blood flow is increased in the body. This means that the flow of oxygen in the affected area is also increased. This helps to neutralize positive ions that are produced from the result of injuries and toxins. This increase in blood flow and oxygen helps your body cope with the pain that is brought on by injuries, and just works to retain health and fitness.

The most popular form of magnetic therapy is wearing magnetic jewellery. One of the main reasons why magnetic jewellery is so readily used is because it is so convenient. It is as easy as putting on necklaces or magnetic bracelets and letting them sit there. The magnet’s field works to improve circulation while you go about daily activities. There is pretty much no maintenance involved. Magnetic bracelets also can be a form of decoration and style. Many people wear the bracelets just because they look beautiful, not even knowing all of the health benefits! Whatever your style, magnetic therapy can be an easy and risk free way to add to your overall health.

Magnetic Therapy Or Biomagnetic Healing

Magnetism is one of the basic forces in nature. It keeps all things in this galaxy in order. Earth itself is a big magnet and its magnetic field is responsible for protecting all life on earth against harmful effects of high energy radiations.

Earth as a magnet has two poles, a North Pole and a South pole. These North and South poles are for navigational purpose only. In Biomagnetism the nomenclature is just opposite. The geographic North Pole is referred to as South pole and geographical South pole is referred to as North pole. It is because when a bar magnet is suspended South Pole is attracted to North Pole and vice versa.

Magnet therapy has two distinct areas; pulsed bioelectric magnetic therapy and fixed magnetic therapy. In simple words the fixed magnets emit a static magnetic field where as electromagnets emit pulsed magnetic fields. Both fixed magnets and electromagnets are two different sides of the same coin but the electromagnets have three sides – electric field, magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) as compared to fixed magnets which have two sides – electric field and magnetic field. Electromagnetic radiation is the result of rapid acceleration and deceleration of the electrons.

Magnetic therapy depends upon the strength of magnets, no. of magnets, spacing of magnets etc. The permanent magnets are placed against the skin at specific points. These points are similar to acupuncture points. The magnets placed on these points of the body seek to improve blood flow and energy at that point.

Magnets have the power to attract or repel molecules. The biomolecules are aligned in a definite pattern and the pattern is different in neighboring molecules. By placing magnets at specific points the molecules tend to aligned with the magnetic field generated by the magnets. This helps the body to recover faster.

Earth’s magnetic field plays an important role in our health. When the first astronauts returned back to the earth, they were sick. There sickness was found to be due to lack of magnetism in the outer space. Now a days the space suits and the spaceships have strategically placed magnets in them.

In the absence of magnetic field/energy, the energy level of the atoms falls. As a result the nutrient molecules become depolarized and the body starts malfunctioning. This can be cured by applying magnetic field. Thus magnetic therapy tends to restore the balance of the body and improve health.

Some of the applications of the magnetic therapy are to

relieve pain and discomfort
reduce inflammation
improve circulation of blood
reduce stress
correct central nervous system
enhance energy level of the body
quicken healing
increase athletic endurance and performance
Cure bacterial, fungal and viral infections etc.

Magnets are simple to use. The North Pole is said to relieve pains and reduce swelling, it also increases oxygen up take by the tissues. The South Pole on the other hand increases swelling, decreases oxygen uptake and accelerates growth of all type.

In magnet therapy it is the North Pole that is generally applied for relieving pain. However magnets should not be used if one is using pacemaker, is pregnant or there is bleeding of any type. South pole should not be used for therapy without medical prescription.

Magnetic therapy is likely to play a big role in future in alleviating a variety of ailments We need more research to provide greater understanding about how to manipulate magnets for best results. The magnetic therapy can be used in conjunction with other types of therapy.

Magnetic Therapy For Health and Well Being

By Nicholas Wilron

Magnetic therapy has been recorded as being used historically in many different civilizations as a natural healing technique, dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians. Magnets have long been believed to have healing powers associated with muscle pain and stiffness. This therapy is the application of permanent static magnets to the body for health benefits. Magnet therapy takes many different forms. In some cases, magnets are applied to illness-affected areas with the help of wraps, shoe inserts, self-adhesive strips, belts, or “magnetic jewelry” like bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. These magnets are commonly used for joints and muscles pains.

Some studies show that by using these magnets, there are many health benefits such as reducing stress, relieving insomnia and treating migraine. With prolonged usage, individuals can have long term health benefits such as increased energy and vitality. These magnets for health have been scientifically proven to enable the body to regain its self-healing electromagnetic balance naturally. These health magnets are worn as magnetic therapy to manage and relieve pains. Unlike conventional pain killing drugs like paracetamol and codeine based tablets, the magnetic bracelets do not block the pain signal to the brain. They are non-invasive and have no harmful side effects. The magnetic bracelets work on the site of the pain, which is why static magnets have to be placed as close to the point of pain as possible. They are commonly used to ease chronic pain, arthritic pain and muscle stiffness. Some people with migraines wearing magnetic jewelry have found decreases in the number of headaches and their severity. Health magnets are even used to help ease pain after surgical procedures.

Magnetic therapy has been found to be effective in reducing the pain and swelling due to inflammation. Static magnetic fields generated by the magnetic bracelets were able to reduce inflammation by penetrating through the skin deep into the tissues and blood stream. A negative magnetic field will normalize the metabolic functions that caused the painful condition caused by inflammation or cell degeneration. Damaged cells will react to the presence of a magnetic field by realigning their ions into the correct position. Healing of the cells will begin over a period of days.

Magnetic fields generated by the these magnetic bracelets improves and regulate blood circulation by its interaction with the iron content in the blood. By placing these magnets on the skin, the magnetic field penetrates through the skin and into the surrounding tissues and blood stream. The iron in the blood is attracted to the magnetic field, causing movement within the blood stream. The increased activity leads to the improvement of blood flow, which helps the oxygen to be delivered to the organs more efficiently. With more oxygen to the organs, the natural healing ability of the person is increased.

Therapeutic magnets had also been found to help relieve stress and alleviate depression, as well as enhancing the individual’s well-being. For a moment, think about your family or friends, a health problem they may have, whether it is minor or severe, do share with them the many great benefits by using these magnets for health!
