However, some would argue that magnetic jewelries do not induce much healing because of the small magnets used and the limited positions they are placed on the body. Despite having no definite scientific proof to back up claims of magnetic therapists that magnets can induce healing, more and more people are beginning to believe and use magnets as a complementary form of treatment. Magnets are said to improve blood circulation, hasten bone repair, and reduce inflammation. They could be used in treating muscle and joint pain. There are also people who testified on the effectiveness of the magnets on reducing the occurrence of headaches, improve sleeping habits and reduce the risks of diabetes, high blood pressure and pneumonia. ) Check your pulse to see which pole is suited.

Spasms would only tighten the muscles and joints which could make movements or the area more painful. Medical magnets could help in relaxing and decreasing muscle tightness. They could also stop the nerves from transmitting electrochemical reactions or messages to the brain that would signal pain. When using magnets for pain relief, it is important to consider the gauss or the power of the magnet. Ideally a magnet used in therapy produces a field in the range of 200 to 2,000 gauss. Be aware, however, that magnets can sometimes have varying gauss measurements. The magnet surface strength might be different from its core so read the labels of your magnet carefully. Also, selecting a large and thick magnet with a stronger magnetic field can help reach specific areas better allowing treatment to work faster and more effectively. (You can possibly apply the opposite pole for sometime.) Never use strong magnets on the eyes, the brain or heart. Attach or remove strong magnets slowly. Strong magnets For sufferers of brain tumors, it is beneficial to sleep with the south-pointing pole of a strong magnet close to the top of the head, especially when they are elderly or with deteriorating brain functions.
