Magnetic Healing
Ancient Technique,
Modern Breakthrough

Magnetic healing, in general, is the technique of utilizing the effects of magnets for health purposes. Primarily, in the general population magnetic therapy is used as a self-treatment to relieve pain. There are some specific magnetic therapy treatments that are used by health care professionals that are used to treat and diagnose certain conditions.

For example, there is a therapy using electromagnetic stimulation designed to relieve depression. It's somewhat like Prozac, but without the side effects. Interestingly, Tibetan monks are said to use magnets for relief of depression as well.

For the general population, however, most people experience the use of healing magnets as treatment for pain relief. Typically, they buy magnetic jewelry or body wraps because they want to relieve pain and inflammation. Some say they give an overall feeling well-being.

There are a number of studies that show promising results for the use of magnets in patients with various conditions. These have included the healing of wounds, lessening of symptoms, and the reduction of pain. The patients involved ranged from those with arthritis and mild hypertension, to post-operative patients.

Magnetic healing has been embraced worldwide by the millions of users who wear some form of magnetic device, including magnetic jewelry. Generally speaking, magnetic therapy jewelry is jewelry designed for pain relief. People wear a magnetic necklace, bracelet, or anklet, depending upon the location of the pain or swelling they are concerned with.

The British Journal of Medicine published a study called "Randomised controlled trial of magnetic bracelets for relieving pain in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee." The results were encouraging.

While further study is needed, their conclusion included "pain from osteoarthritis of the hip and knee decreases when wearing magnetic bracelets." So, it may by that a bracelet will do the trick as well.

The Magnetic Therapy Council was formed by a group of registered nurses and magnetic therapy practitioners. The Council was formed in order to educate health care professionals and the public on the benefits of magnetic healing. Here are some benefits of magnetic jewelry.
