What is Magnetic Therapy

Magnetic Therapy is a natural therapy which does not involve drugs or other complicated procedure as in acupressure, acupuncture, homeopathy, hypnosis, or elaborate diets. When magnets are placed on human body, the magnetic field penetrates the skin tissue and bones and thus helps to improve blood curculation and stimulates the body to heal by itself.

Poor blood circulation can be to blame for many of today's ills. The use of magnets can help enormously in combating the effects of migraine, neck, back and knee pain, rheumatism, arthritis, cramp, gout, angina, depression, period pains and insomnia. Poor blood circulation can cause the whole body to be 'below par'. Magnetic therapy can improve this, and give a whole new impetus for life.

Magnetic therapy dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Magnets have long been believed to have healing powers associated with muscle pain and stiffness. In 200B.C., Chinese physicians used magnetic lodestones in therapy and put them on the human body to correct unhealthy, imbalance flow of qi, or energy. The ancient Chinese medical text known as The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal MEdicine describes this procedure. The Vedas, or ancient Hindu scriptures, also mention the treatment of diseases with lodestones. The word "lodestone" or leading stone came from the use of these stones as compasses. The word "magner" probably stems from the Greek Magnes lithos, or "stone from Magnesia", a region of Greece rich in magnetic stones. The Greek phrase later became magneta in Latin.

The secret of Magnetic Therapy is that its unique multi-directional Electro Magnetic Force (EMF) relieves pain and enhances the speed of healing processes.

The belief in the healing power of magnets is nothing new. It is even said that Cleopatra were a magnetic lodestone to keep her young and beautiful. More recently NASA, the American Space Agency, have uysed magnetic therapy to cure space sickness. The use of magnetic therapy has become more and more popular in recent years. In Japan, the use of magnets is now regarded as a vital tool in overcoming stress in everyday life. In the West magnets are widely used by sportsmen to relieve pain and help in the healing of injuries.
