There are a number of methods used to apply these magnets on the body. Among the well known methods include the use of magnetic mattresses, magnetic insoles and the more popular magnetic jewelry which uses bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings as holders for the magnets. However, some would argue that magnetic jewelries do not induce much healing because of the small magnets used and the limited positions they are placed on the body. For back pains, have four magnets about one and a half inches on either side of the spine, two on each side. If the magnets are cumbersome to put on and remove, have a three to four-inch ceramic strip magnet or magnetic back brace on your back instead. Headaches can be solved with tape magnets to your temples or to the back of your head (just above the neck). The first group received fake magnet, the second group continued with their original treatment methods. The third group exposed their entire body to a uniform magnetic field. While the fourth group only exposed specific body parts to magnetic field. After six months, the study showed that there are positive results from patients who have exposed themselves to magnetic field. In fact, there are about 57 studies/researches in the United States focusing on magnetic treatment. An example would be the study conducted in University of Exeter and Plymouth in 2004 about the use of magnetic bracelets in easing pains of those suffering from osteoarthritis. Now, magnet therapy is performed in different countries. The Dos and Donts of Magnetic Therapy Millions of people have attested to the effectiveness of magnetic therapy to alleviate pain and as alternative treatment for a variety of ailments. And the number of people who discover magnetic therapy is increasing every year. With more formal studies finding positive results for magnetic therapy, it would be just a matter of time before the scientific community accepts formally magnetic therapy as a legitimate form of treatment. This will dispel any notion of contamination or undesirable side effects. Power After thousands of years, magnets have been found to have the power to influence or cause movement (attracting and repelling) in other objects. By placing magnets at strategic points, the magnetic force causes the molecules to align according to the magnetic field of the magnets.
