The use of magnets as a therapy is not new and records show their
use by ancient Hindu teachings in the "The Vedas" in 2000 BC. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks mention magnets as a form of
healing long ago as 3 BC and are mentioned in records written by Aristotle and Pliny.
More recently from the 1930's onwards scientific research carried
out by Scientist's and Doctors namely Davis and Rawls, Dr William H Phillpot MD, Roger Coghill MA (Cantab,) C.Biol. MI Biol.
MA (Environ.Mgmt.).
There are some things to consider when choosing which products are
the most practical for your needs,
- Strength of magnet 600 - 2000 gauss being preferred
- Size of magnet, this is the most important factor as this determines
how far the magnetic field lines will project away from the surface of the magnet
- Product. Direct onto the area of pain or indirect over the flow
of blood i.e. pulse point
- Comfort. Many products are bought and later discarded due to them
either too uncomfortable to wear, to inconvenient to use or too bulky
When placing a magnet on the site of pain the magnetic field will
create what could be called a "molecular massage" on the atoms and molecules that make up muscle and tissue
and where damage is present can neutralize the Ph into a more alkaline state which the body can then start the repair process.
Here is an example of how a magnet works on a human being wearing
a wrist band. When a magnet is place over a main blood supply the blood which passes through, (at about 40mph) will react,
this due to the presence of iron, (hemoglobin) which is the oxygen carrier to every cell in the body. By agitating the red
blood cells in the wrist the blood on its return to lungs (3 seconds) has been shown to alter the spin state of iron atom
and so helps the blood cell absorb oxygen more efficiently, this is then delivered to the brain and then around the whole
body feeding a more efficient supply of oxygen together with food and nutrients into every single cell. From the heart and
lungs the blood will be pumped to the feet and back in approximately 40 seconds.
The improvement in the exchange of oxygen, food and nutrients with
carbon dioxide, toxins and other waste will neutralize any chemical imbalance all over the body and create the right condition
for the body to heal itself, naturally.
It is important to note that it is an improvement of blood flow NOT
an increase, which is often mistakenly stated, so there is no increase in heart rate, however in areas where there may be
concern over a heart condition or any other serious ailment professional medical advice is always recommended.
Comfort is important especially when worn for long periods, during
exercise or whilst in bed so it important that the wearer can confidently wear it and forget it. Most wraps and supports are
made of neoprene which does not allow the skin beneath to breath so can get hot and sticky which it will be removed more often
and so reduce the products effectiveness. The MAGNETiC range of products have been designed to be wearable, durable and comfortable.
