If there is pain, have the magnet stay in place as long as it is required, sometimes for days on end. Wounds and broken bones Fresh wounds heal better with the south-pointing pole. In later applications, use both poles alternately. Near the end of the process, use the north-pointing pole. Use the north-pointing end of the magnet applied above the fractures of broken bones towards the torso. Circulation One way is the placement of magnetic strips along the forearm and sleeping on a magnetic pad at night. Fibromyalgia One needs to sleep on a magnetic mattress pad and use a magnetic pillow. Magnets can also be placed over painful areas of the body during the day. Leg problems Magnetic insoles help increase the circulation and improve the conditions of numbness, burning, aches, and leg cramps. Headaches can be solved with tape magnets to your temples or to the back of your head (just above the neck). Or, use a magnetic headband. Use a magnetic band around the painful elbows. The same band can relieve the pain on the hand and arms. Magnets at work Put the magnet directly over the pain area. 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. This will dispel any notion of contamination or undesirable side effects. Power After thousands of years, magnets have been found to have the power to influence or cause movement (attracting and repelling) in other objects. Past and present therapy Various old cultures have been known to have used magnets for pain relief and other symptoms. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and the Chinese have been known to have used magnets for treatments of various illnesses. In those times, however, the right sizes and weights of magnets that can produce noticeable effects are rare. The magnetic product that you will be using would be based on the area of the body you would like apply the treatment. Although there have been no problems about magnetic therapy in the past, it is still to be cautious. There are some magnetic products that would often warn their customers of their use and ask them to consult their doctors, especially those with pacemakers, working with high-voltage equipment and allergic to metals.
