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. The magnets can stop the pain signals from reaching your nervous system, they can help increase or normalize the blood flow allowing more oxygen and nutrients to be absorbed the cells resulting to faster healing and reinstates the overall balance of the body s cells. How it works It is believed that magnets have magnetic fields that attracts and repel charged particles in the blood. This creates movement and heat. In turn, the blood vessels widen and helps accelerate the healing process. The process allows more blood to pass through the capillaries and improves the blood flow. Fibromyalgia In other studies, magnets were also found effective against fibromyalgia. Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston discovered that magnets help relieve muscle pain caused by this mysterious condition. In the same study, it was found that patients who slept on magnetic mattresses had greater pain relief than those who slept on ordinary mattresses. 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. Magnetic energy It had long been established in the scientific community that magnetic energy can pass through most known materials and affects living things as well. Also make certain that when arranging the magnets they should maintain a minimum distance of inch from each other. This arrangement maximizes the electromagnetic field generated by each magnet. Just as the quantity of magnets matters, the strength is very important as well. And finally, for added comfort it would be best to have a piece of cloth or fabric that is wrapped a round the area where you will be placing the magnet onto. There are also users who have testified the effectiveness of magnets on carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. In fact, the use of magnets could be traced as early as the Chinese, Indian, Egyptian and Greek civilizations. Magnetic treatment or healing can balance the body s positive and negative energies.
