However, there were no significant improvements in the objective evaluations of the condition. The study suggested that magnets may reduce pain but did not alter the actual inflammation. Also, there was a mixture of statistically significant and insignificant results indicating a larger trial is needed to remove the statistical noise . A south-pointing pole may be applied opposite the north pole and below the fracture. Headaches and stomach pains For headaches, use the south-pointing pole on the center of the pain. However, for clearing up the head, attach the south-pointing pole to the forehead and the north-pointing pole to the base of the skull. More oxygen and nutrients are then carried over to the affected area that results in the restoration of the normal ion concentration. This, in turn, relieves the pain and the swelling, and at the same time, promotes faster healing. Safety The World Health Organization itself had deemed that magnet therapy is safe. Leg problems Magnetic insoles help increase the circulation and improve the conditions of numbness, burning, aches, and leg cramps. One should also sleep on a magnetic mattress. (This is also great for diabetes.) Muscle / joint pains These types need local applications on the area itself. Wear the magnet for several hours and then take a break. Of late, the use of magnet therapy in urban areas had been subjected to some form of tests and some regulations. Also lately, magnets have been subjected to that old question again whether it really works. Pain relief Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston found magnets effective at blocking pains caused by post-polio syndrome. These are the specific points on the meridian channels of energy. The idea is to improve energy and blood flow. The main difference is that magnet therapy is non-invasive and dos not cause additional pain. Objective Magnet therapy s main objective is to enhance the body s own powers to heal. Likewise, it promotes pain relief without use of foreign objects or chemicals into the body.
