Enhancing energy Magnet therapy is also known for increasing the well-being of patients by enhancing energy. During natural sleep, the body revitalizes itself. This natural process can be enhanced by magnets. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) Magnets are placed on the front and back of the wrist to help alleviate the pain of this hard-to-heal condition. In the treatment group, 76% of the participants reported improvements, as against the 19% in the placebo group. Peripheral neuropathy On peripheral neuropathy, there was a 4-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study of 19 people. Four participants wore magnetic foot insoles during the day all throughout the trial period. Although, there are medical professionals and institutions who are still sceptical of the effects and benefits of magnets on arthritis, the number of people who are interested in trying out the alternative method are increasing. There are different forms of magnetic healing products to suit the different parts of the body which suffer from arthritis. Although, magnet therapy is in itself a very safe and non-invasive form of treatment using the right kind of magnet will produce better results. The therapy uses magnetic fields from the magnets to relieve body pains, muscle spasms, stiffness and even inflammation. The therapy is quite effective and a lot of people, millions in fact, will attest to how the treatment helped them cope with their pain. 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. If the magnet is used for long, and there is a feeling of being drained or plain discomfort, remove the magnet right away. (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.
