There are different kinds of magnets used in this kind of therapy. Those horse-shoe magnets that we often see in comics and cartoons are useless for magnet therapies. The most common magnets for therapeutic use are the flat ceramic magnets or at best the neodymium magnets. Neodymiums are stronger magnets than the ceramic types and are probably the best ones for therapeutic use. These include restoration of cellular magnetic balance, and the so-called acceleration of the migration of calcium ions of ions to help heal bones and nerve tissues. Magnet therapy claims that the body s circulation is enhanced due to the presence of iron in the blood and thereby increasing blood flow. In fact, America has spent $46.3 billion in 2004 for weight loss products. Diet books, exercise videos, weight loss camps for children, adult facilities, weight loss surgeries, nutritionist diet plans, hospital-clinic diet plants, diet pills, health clubs are low-calorie dinners are among weight-reduction products and items that American spend their money on. Hold the magnet under running water for some time right after each use. If there is pain, have the magnet stay in place as long as it is required, sometimes for days on end. Wounds and broken bones Fresh wounds heal better with the south-pointing pole. In later applications, use both poles alternately. Stress is not the only thing that magnet therapy can manage or address. There are several anecdotal reports sharing that Tibetan monks use magnets to relieve depression. To support these reports, there are studies conducted at the Menninger Clinic. What makes magnet therapy an ideal cure, according to proponents and those who use it, is that it is natural. Lately, western medicine had used magnetic energy for diagnosis with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and as an alternative method of accelerating the healing of bone fractures. Alternative therapy Magnetic therapy is increasingly popular among progressive health care practitioners, veterinarians, professional athletes and the general population as well.
