The
use of magnets as therapeutic devices is not new. Magnetic therapy has been
practiced for thousands of years and was mentioned in ancient writings from many
cultures. It has become an alternative treatment method for many medical
conditions. Magnetic therapy is well advanced in Japan, China, India, Australia
and Germany. There is growing interest from other countries including Great
Britain, Holland, Canada and the United States.
How Do Magnets Work?
Magnetic therapy is based on the biological effects of magnetic fields on the
living organism. A magnetic field penetrates every single cell being
exposed to the field. This in turn influences the ions within the cell to
enhance ion exchange that will improve the oxygen utilization of the cell. This
is important for the healing and regeneration process.
PAIN RELIEF is the most common use of magnets. Magnets may increase the capillary blood flow which may help flush lactic acid and other inflammatory agents that build up in the tissue to ease pain and inflammation. The blood supply also carries oxygen which may be helpful in relaxing muscles and relieving cramps and spasms which are oxygen starved.
This is the same reason massage is often used to loosen muscles in spasm; to allow blood to flow and deliver oxygen necessary to terminate the spasm.
Strength of
Our Magnets
Our Neodymium Magnets are the strongest on the market and are competitively
priced. Powerful Neodymium Magnets are 12,300 gauss in strength and are unipole
design. (Gauss is the unit used to measure the output of magnets. Refrigerator
magnets are around 500 gauss.)
WARNING: Persons with pacemakers, defibrillators, implanted insulin pumps or other electro-medical devices should keep biomagnetic products at least eighteen inches from the device. Use should also be suspended during pregnancy. Keep magnets away from computer disks, audio/video tapes and credit cards. We do not make or imply any medical claims for any products we market. This product is not a medical device and cannot be relied on to supply medical benefits and is not a substitute for proper medical care.
MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: Biomagnetics is a recent development in the North American alternative health market, and thus most studies which could be a basis for inference are not double blind controlled studies, but instead are anecdotal observations of benefits. As a result, medical claims cannot be asserted until more intensive studies are completed.
