Life is constantly under influence of magnetic forces as it stays under the influence of magnetic field of the earth. Human body itself is a heterogeneous mixture of minerals, chemicals, salts and gases and thereby gets affected from the presence of magnetic field around it. As every atom generates an electromagnetic field, we, along with entire nature, are imbued with the power of electromagnetism. It is also possible for us to channel our innate positive electromagnetic energy for self healing and others too. Magneto Therapy is all about using magnets to treat various kinds of ailments. Use of magnet itself does not cure but it can provide the suitable magnetic conditions in which the healing forces of the body operate at their maximum level. Magnetism stimulates the body to heal by itself.

Magneto therapy is a clinical system in which human ailments are treated and cured through the application of magnets to the body of the patients. In this therapy medicine itself is considered irrelevant, no medicine is orally fed or externally applied to the body of the patient or injected in his system. One may call it a nature-cure, but a cure free from the complex unwieldiness of naturopathy. Magneto therapy is the simplest, cheapest and entirely painless system of treatments with almost no side effects or after effects.

The only tool of magneto-therapy is the magnet. Its healing properties were known to the ancients, but later probably during the dark ages-the knowledge was lost. The evolution of magneto-therapy as a science of healing started from humble beginnings in the 16th century and the process of evolution is still continuing. Empirically the science has been going from strength to strength and the number of its believers and followers have been constantly increasing. A large number of physicians trained in the other systems of medicine are coming to realize the advantages of magneto-therapy and are turning to it for assistance in cases supposed to be difficult to cure or considered as incurable.

Line of Action

Magnets exert a powerful attraction on the iron content in the blood, penetrating the outer layers of skin, muscle and fatty tissue to the capillaries that feed directly into the bloodstream. By attracting iron and perhaps other inorganic molecules to a diseased area, circulation is increased. This is enhanced by the increase of oxygen and other vital nutrients to the affected site that assists in healing. The combined effect is regulating the PH of the cells and tissues, balancing, ionizing and oxygenating them and generally relieving congestion and pain by improving blood circulation. Magnets are widely used to help patients suffering from headaches (including migraines), constipation, bronchitis, hypertension, hemorrhoids, glaucoma, and many other serious diseases. One of the most common causes for pain is edema, which results as a fluid build-up in the cells or in the inter-cellular spaces. When a magnet is placed on the limb above the edema, it helps pull the fluid out of the affected limb and eases out the pain. Sometimes fluid is trapped inside a nerve sheath or a closed space resulting into inflammation or infection of that portion of the body. Application of magnetic field to such areas; pulls the fluid out of the cells thus relieving the pain. If the fluid is trapped in a closed space, the pain may increase initially when the magnet is applied. In such a situation, treat the affected area up to tolerance. Remove the magnet when pain increases, and apply it again after some time, no sooner the pain subsides. In due course tolerance will increase as the inflammation or infection subsides. Injury occurring in a certain part of the body can generate pain in some other parts as well. This is known as referred pain. Scar formations on the skin or inside the skin are some of the potent areas for referred pain. Injury and scar tissues maintain a positive magnetic field, which leads to a compromised and disordered metabolism, often culminating into pain. Exposing such areas to a magnetic field; restores the disordered metabolism and relieves the pain.
