Magnetic therapy has been used as a non-invasive and
complementary method of healing, and tens of thousands of people
worldwide discover the benefits of this powerful therapy for
themselves.
Endogenous Fields
All living creatures depend on endogenous fields: Internal
electric and magnetic fields that send signals around the body
to control nerves and muscles. The human brain emits magnetic
fields, measurable using MEG (Magnetoencephalogram) probes.
These have proved that the brain may control the body’s
chemistry through specific magnetic fields.
Ions
Positive ions in the atmosphere have harmful effects on
health while negative ions are beneficial. Our bodies make
extensive use of irons such as Calcium (Ca++), Potassium (K+),
Sodium (Na+) for Transmitting electric signals between the brain
and the nerves. Ions interfere with the body's own internal
communication system.
The arteries and the red blood cells are slightly negatively
charged. Since they repel each against each other, blood cells
do not get attached to the artery walls or to each other
ensuring smooth flow along the narrow channels.
However when we inhale the positive ions, they enter the lungs
and then the blood stream, where they lessen the negative charge
on the blood cells. Thus the adhesion on the arterial walls is
increased and circulation efficiency decreases. In contrast,
negative ions increase circulation efficiency.
How It Works
The body's energy is thought to flow through channels known
as Energy Meridians. These can be compared with the currents
that exist in a magnetic field. The meridians can be accessed
through classic acupuncture points (acupoints) on the skin
surface, and form the basis of ancient therapies such as
acupuncture and acupressure.
In good health, energy flows through the meridians in a balanced
way. Ill health is thought o be associated with imbalances or
blockages in energy flow through the body. Many illnesses affect
the bio-energetic functions of cells. When energy flow becomes
abnormal, acupoints on the surrounding skin become tender and
painful to touch. These are known as "tsubos". In acupuncture,
these points are stimulated with fine needles to generate
electrical impulses and restore energy balance. In magnetic
therapy, the acupoints are stimulated by tiny pulses of
electromagnetic energy. Our bodies today have been developed in
an environment enriched in oxygen water, nutrients and
MAGNETISM. All of the natural human systems in our bodies are
electro-magnetic in nature and respond to the earth's natural
magnetism.
Our bodies' natural magnetic field is created by the flow of
electrically charged ions in and out of cells, and the
transmission of electric impulses through cell membranes. Due to
the fast pace of modern living and the continual development in
technology and society, the earth's geomagnetic field has grown
very much weaker in the recent past. This field is constantly
being shielded from us by everyday items we take for granted
such as: steel cars, trains, airplanes, ships and metal framed
buildings.
The measurement now used for magnets is called “GAUSS,” named
after the 19th century German physicist Carl Gauss, gauss
measurement is based upon the lifting power of a magnet. Size,
shape and construction of the magnet can also affect the
strength. It is a natural way of stimulating your body to combat
pain.
Some types of pain and illness are associated with imbalances in
these biological electric and magnetic fields. Bio-magnetic
therapy realigns the fields to correct imbalances and bring
relief in a number of common conditions, including arthritis &
rheumatism, joint and muscle pain, shoulder pain, back ache,
headache and neck ache, respiratory problems such as coughs &
asthma, constipation, inflammation, insomnia, jet lag, and
stress.
Magneto therapy is the application of magnets to the body to
stimulate the nerves and create a better blood flow to various
parts of the body. In turn, this helps the organs and glands to
function better. Medicine itself is considered irrelevant as no
medicine is orally fed or injected with magneto therapy. It is a
clinical system in which the human ailments are treated with
magnets of various size and strengths and use both north and
south poles together or individually. Magnetized water and
juices are also used in conjunction with magnet application.
