Basically what the magnet does is realign or correct the electromagnetic impulses of the body which had been put into disarray the moment the body gets sick. As the theory of magnotherapy goes, each individual cell of the body generates this electromagnetic field. By applying magnets on the surface of the affected area, the magnetic field relaxes the capillary walls of the body s cells resulting to increase blood flow to that part of the body and at the same time prevents the flow of liquids outside the cells which help control the pain. Magnet Therapy For Battling Stress We may be familiar with the use magnet therapy for relieving pain, especially by those who suffer from osteoarthritis. Surprisingly, magnet therapy could also be used to relieve or reduce stress. In a fast paced life, which is very common nowadays, stress is inevitable. The magnets are also known to help prevent muscle stiffness and muscle spasms. And finally, the magnetic field can go to the cellular level and helps prevent pain from ending up to the brain. Magnetic therapy is therefore a little bit like pain killers but without the side effects. The therapy is ideally performed in the mornings. Afterwards, a far larger randomized, placebo-controlled follow up study was done by the same researchers. They used 375 patients with peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes. Again, they tested the effectiveness of 4 months of treatment with magnetic insoles. The results showed that the insoles produced benefits beyond that of the placebo effect and reduced the severity of such symptoms as burning pain, numbness, tingling and exercise-induced pain. There are different forms of magnetic healing products to suit the different parts of the body which suffer from arthritis. There are bracelets, rings and wraps and foot insoles that can be used daily. There are also magnetic mattresses and head pads which can be used while at home. If you are still figuring out if magnetic therapy is something you would like to try, I suggest you start with a basic product like a magnetic bracelet or wrap. 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. It has gained popularity in Japan, Australia, Russia and European countries like Germany.
