What is Magnetic
Therapy?
Magnetic therapy is the use of magnets and the
electromagnetic fields they produce to help create
a beneficial environment that promotes the
body's own healing
processes.When therapeutic magnets are applied to
the skin, they produce physiological effects in the
body as the blood flowing through the
magnet's electromagnetic field
contains electrically charged substances such as
salt ions and the iron-rich, red blood pigment,
haemoglobin.
Magnetic therapy
Magnetic therapy: is sometimes also
known as magnetotherapy, magnetiotherapy, biomagnetic
therapy, or bioelectromagnetic therapy.
Magnetic therapy is used in over 50
countries world-wide, including Germany, Israel,
Russia and Japan, where magnetotherapy has been
used and studied for decades.The North pole of a
magnet has the most therapeutic applications, as
this complements the negative polarity of the
normal, healthy body and promotes natural healing
processes. Traditionally, the north pole of a
magnet is used to relieve and calm
hot pain
due to inflammation and infection, while the south
pole which has a more stimulatory effect, may be
used to relieve cold, aching types of pain such as
that associated with poor circulation.Clinicians
who have studied the effects of
Magnetic Therapy 005C279F magnetic therapy
have estimated that its effectiveness in relieving
pain is 85 percent, considerably higher than for
many analgesic drugs, and without the risk of side
effects. Relief is usually rapid, with muscle
pains for example, often diminishing within 30
minutes.The electromagnetic fields used in
magnetic therapy may be generated by single or
multiple magnets, which may produce a static or a
pulsed electromagnetic field. Those most
convenient for home use include adhesive magnetic
patches, magnetic jewellery (eg necklets,
bracelets), wraps and mattress pads
