In a fast paced life, which is very common nowadays, stress is inevitable. Unmanaged, stress could affect our work, social relationships and even our health. 1. Magnet Therapy In ancient civilizations like those of found in China, Egypt, India and Greece, magnets are already used to heal different forms of illnesses. Several conditions that were corrected by magnet therapy include bacterial and fungal infections, pain relief, stress, and certain nervous system disorders. Systems Because placements of these magnets need some knowledge, health care professionals have strategically placed the magnets within orthopedic supports. When using magnets for pain relief, it is important to consider the gauss or the power of the magnet. For medicinal purposes, magnets with about 400 to 10,000 gauss can be used. An ordinary refrigerator magnet would have about 10 gauss, so you would no be able to use that since it lacks power. Just attach the magnet on the area where the pain is felt. Not only using magnets on reducing stress can help shed pounds, it could also help you get clearer skin, more focus and mental activities and better sleep. Magnetic therapy is not only used to manage weight. It could also be adapted to help treat bowel disorders. However, when using magnetic healing for treating disorders like bowel problems, it is still best to consult your doctor. Care should also be taken in the use of magnets on infants and children as well as the use on the eyes, brain or over the heart for all ages. Power Biomagnets are measured in terms of gauss, the line of force pr unit area of the pole. (The earth s surface is about 0.5 gauss.) Magnet therapy experts begin their therapy at low gauss and increase the strength gradually. Placing magnets on the two sides of the spine would help solve your back pain problem. Similarly, attaching a pair of magnets on your temple or at the back of your head will help keep that headache at bay. The magnet s South and North poles have different applications as well. One thing you should remember is that the magnet s north pole is magnetically negative while the south is magnetically positive.
