How does Magnetic Therapy work? This is the question we hear most. Some doctors believe that the magnetic field affects the iron component of blood, hemoglobin, thereby increasing circulation to the area where magnets are applied.
Another theory is that the magnetic field energizes and oxygenates the white corpuscles in the blood stream, and these white corpuscles are natures healing agents. The charged ions increase the blood flow, which provides increased oxygenation to the blood. This increased oxygenation is the prevalent factor to enhancing your body’s natural healing powers, and the results are less pain, decreased inflammation, and the possibility of increased energy level.
What to do if you experience discomfort when first wearing magnetic jewelry
If you feel slight discomfort don’t fret it is probably working. First time users might break out in a rash, feel faint or get a little nausea. This is just your body’s way of dealing with the toxins that have been stirred up by your magnetic therapy product. Toxins are excesses from various sources in the environment and can build up in body tissue and affect your health. Customers who exercise or take other measures to get rid of toxins most likely do not see these symptoms.
Tips on what to do.
Take the item off for a few days and try again. Drink plenty of fluids. Try to wear them around your ankle first, there is less blood flow there and can ease your body into a magnetic therapy regimen. Once these steps are taken we have had many customers thank us for the push to get through it and can enjoy the pain relief they were looking for in the first place.
As always if symptoms persist or if you are unsure you should always speak to your doctor first. Remember magnetic therapy is an alternative approach and should never interfere with your doctors advice and healing strategies for you.
Where should I place magnets for relief? There are three schools of thought about magnet placement:
At the site of pain,
At the site of pain and possible referring site, and Acupressure points.
The first method, at the site of pain, is clear – just put them where it hurts. Magnets seem to work best in “balanced” application, for example, on both sides of a sore knee or stiff neck. For this reason, many magnetic products for the elbows, wrists, and knees feature several opposing sets of magnets.
The second method, at the site of pain and possible referring site, is more complex. Knee pain may be caused by an undiagnosed hip problem, or a strained back may show up as shoulder or neck pain. For this reason, do not rely on magnetic devices as medical treatment. If you experience pain, consult a physician.
The third method, Acupressure points, requires either knowledge of acupuncture/Acupressure, or a good diagram of these points and plenty of patience.
Experts recommend you continue trying any and all combinations of these methods until relief is attained. Each human body is different, and will respond differently to any type of therapy.
Close to the Skin! The most important factor in placement is: Close to the Skin. There is an exponential decrease in the strength of a magnet field as the distance from the magnet increases. At a distance of 4 inches from the magnet, the field is less than 1/16th the rated strength of the magnet.
