Systems Because placements of these magnets need some knowledge, health care professionals have strategically placed the magnets within orthopedic supports. They are also in knee braces, ankle and elbow braces, all to simplify self-administration. For patients suffering from headaches, arthritis pain, menstrual cramps, or sports injuries, magnet therapy can bring safe and effective relief that is inexpensive and non-intrusive. Brief Review On Magnet Therapy For thousands of years, magnet therapy (also known as magnetic therapy) had been known to be a safe, simple, effective and economical form of alternative therapy. From a scientific point of view, magnets had been proven to help the body to regain its self-healing electromagnetic balance naturally. There are also therapists who would use hand-held magnets and move them around the body or specific areas that need treatment. 2. Stress There are different causes of stress: major causes could be financial troubles, work related issues, family, relationships woes, and death. But whatever the reason is, stress effects could be serious without management. Use the north-pointing end of the magnet applied above the fractures of broken bones towards the torso. 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. 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. If there are people who intently believed and experienced magnetic treatment, then there would also be people who remains to be skeptical of the treatment. It is logical to think, then, that it is very essential to identify the poles correctly. Suspending the magnet on a thread and waiting for its ends to point somewhere is the easiest way to identify the poles. (The north-pointing end is the North Pole and the opposite should be the South Pole.) Characteristics of magnets Flat ceramic or neodymium magnets are the best therapeutic magnets.
