Magnet therapy is the application of the magnetic field of electromagnetic devices or permanent static magnets to the body for purported health benefits. Some practitioners assign different effects based on the orientation of the magnet; under the laws of physics, magnetic poles are symmetric.
Products include magnetic bracelets and jewelry; magnetic straps for wrists, ankles, knees, and the back; shoe insoles; mattresses; magnetic blankets (blankets with magnets woven into the material); magnetic creams; magnetic supplements; plasters/patches and water that has been “magnetized”. Application is usually performed by the patient.
Our bodies are incredible things, designed to heal themselves within a natural environment whenever possible. Magnets help the process along, and much more. As a species we developed in an environment that is rich in magnetic fields, oxygen and water. The fundamental nature of our ‘life force’ is based on energy that has an ‘electro-magnetic’ charge. We were designed to live in such environments, but in today’s world we rarely do. We live and work inside concrete structures and moving metal boxes – we insulate ourselves from the natural magnetic field our bodies need to function at their optimum potential. Our health pays the price of this. We need FIVE essentials for a healthy life; oxygen, water, food, exercise and magnetic fields. Using quality magnet therapy is one of the simple and most effective ways we can enhance our general well-being.
