Magnotherapy Magnotherapy
is the application of a magnetic field to a living body to assist
healing. Magnotherapy is not new, it has been used for hundreds of
years to help relieve pains and accelerate the natural healing process.
In recent times magnotherapy has become more popular for four reasons,
1. The interest in complimentary remedies for conditions that conventional medicine does not always help. 2. The improvements in magnet technology which have made stronger and more effective magnets available. 3. The ease of application and relative cost of magnotherapy treatments.
4. Magnotherapy's non-invasive nature and lack of harmful side effects.
The effects of Magnotherapy Magnotherapy
has two distinct benefits, pain reduction and a general revitalising of
the body by increasing the effectiveness of the body’s blood
circulation. Users have reported an increase in energy,
improved recovery time after exertion, improved sleeping, and a general
feeling of well-being
A recent study,
published in the British Medical Journal, funded by the Arthritis
Research Campaign, said “wearing a magnetic bracelet does reduce pain
in people with hip and knee osteoarthritis”. There are abstracts
and references to studies on this site. You will see the
effects on circulation in Thermal on the left.
Magnotherapy treatments There are three different ways of applying magnotherapy for people and animals using magnetic devices.
1.
The standard approach is to use magnetic modules over pulse points
using bracelets and wristbands for people, collars and cuffs for
animals, treating the blood as it flows under the module. The blood then seems to treat the rest of the body. 2.
A cluster of modules made up into a small pad can be applied to various
parts of the body using elastic belts and bandages. Larger
magnetic pads can be used on chairs and beds. 3. Magnetic modules can be used to magnetically treat drinking water and other fluids for drinking. How does it work? No-one
knows. There are many theories, look at the scientific forums
that discuss these issues, but no consensus or proof is yet available.
Proof requires a series of replicated studies, so far most
studies have been original studies on some aspect of magnotherapy. Will it work for me? Again,
no-one can know. As we don't know how it works, we cannot
know whether it will work for any individual. In all the
studies that have been done there have been some people who found it
ineffective and there is no indication as yet of why those people are
different.
Find a product with a good money back
guarantee, try it, and if it doesn't work, get your money back and try
another magnotherapy system. There are many different way
of applying magnotherapy and it may be the first method you tried was
not right for you, but others might be. For example, there
are three different types of magnotherapy mentioned above. You
can try each in turn, or all three at once. As long as you have that money back guarantee, you can afford to keep trying.
