Magnetic Therapy
Magnetic
Therapy
Perhaps you know someone who
wears a copper bracelet to help with
arthritis or tendonitis
pain.
Magnetic therapy works along the
exact same lines and is a centuries old
form of alternative medicine. Rulers as
far back as Cleopatra were known to have
worn metallic bracelets and bands around
the head for this purpose.
While magnetic therapy is a
common form of healing in India, China,
and France, America only began to realize
the healing effects within the last few
decades- in the early1900's with
resurgence in the late 90's.
Now you can purchase them
through the shopping network!
Magnetic energy is found
everywhere in nature and is called by
many other names.
The Chinese call it "Chi" and
use this energy when practicing
acupuncture. Any material that is capable
of becoming magnetized does so by
aligning groups of atoms. This is what is
called a magnetic energy
field.
The human body is made of up
cells. These cells can renew themselves,
and practitioners of magnetic therapy
believe that these cells can be
manipulated through the use of magnets,
that the same energy used to recharge
cells as they wear down can become
magnified through the energy contained in
magnets.
Not all magnetic energy is
healing-anyone concerned about the
effects of computers and cell phones will
tell you that these types of magnetic
energy are harmful.
They contend that this type of
magnetic energy can cause headaches,
memory loss, even tumors.
Beneficial magnetic energy,
however, can reduce scars on internal
organs-as in after surgery-by increasing
blood flow.
This same magnetic therapy
treatment can relieve patients of
migraines and chronic pain. The increased
blood flow is caused by the heating
effect magnets have on the
circulation.
Magnets have different strengths
and sizes. The power is determined by how
much iron weight it can lift, and so if
using magnets for healing a specific
wound-like acute swelling- you may want
to consult an expert in the
field.
Sleeping on a magnetic mattress,
however, is safe because they only come
in one strength and can stimulate blood
flow allover the body.
Do not attempt to use magnetic
therapy if you have a pacemaker, internal
defibrillator, or are
pregnant.
Magnetic therapists will
determine which strength of magnet you
should use-stronger magnets for large
areas and chronic pain, lighter magnets
for sensitive parts of the body, such as
the ears.
You can also drink magnetically
treated water. It has been documented to
be relaxing; simply place a 6-8 once
glass of water on the negative pole of a
magnet for several minutes and drink
twice a day.
Knowing how and where to place a
magnet on the body involves good
training, so be sure that the magnet
therapist has been trained to know the
size, strength, and placement as well as
the duration of different magnets for the
various ailments.
There are literally hundreds of
magnet sales websites and while they are
tremendously helpful in treating
different conditions, it would be wise to
seek counsel from a trained practitioner
before ordering any magnetized item for
alternative medicinal use.
The magnetic mattress pads can
be good for overall immune system
regeneration, and for pain and increased
energy, and if you have lower back ache
the magnetic insoles are a great
help.
I know bowlers who swear by
them, and people who stand on their feet
for most of the day without pain are
testimonies to the healing effects of
magnets.
Magnetic pads and wraps are
available for easing conditions such as
bad joints, elbows and knees, but again,
it is wise to consult a professional
before ordering any of these
items.
