Spring
has sprung! Time to get outside and enjoy the good earth. A friend asked about magnet
therapy. The concept is simple. The magnetic pull helps balance positive and
negative charged ions. Healing requires energy, which requires negatively
charged electrons. Take a look at the information below. I have used magnetic
nuggets for years to ease discomfort while my body heals. Give them a try and
let me know what you think. Enjoy the healing energy from the Good Earth!
"Basic research shows
that when a magnet is placed on the skin, capillary walls relax, allowing for
increased blood flow and oxygenation and removal of accumulated pain-producing
prostaglandins. Theoretically, these actions relieve muscle spasms and, subsequently,
pain.4 Since pain transmission
requires the electrical activity found in nerve and muscle cells, properly
aligned magnets could either block that action or, in cases of injury, promote
healing.5 Magnets can be used in
a constant, uninterrupted application (static therapy) or with manipulation of
the magnetic field (pulsed therapy)"

"Magnet therapy uses “static”
magnets, which are called static because the resulting magnetic field is
unchanging. (Please do not confuse these with electromagnets, which produce
magnetic fields when an electric current is applied and really shouldn’t be used
on your own.)
To use static magnets for pain relief, you must find a magnet of sufficient strength to provide a benefit. You can test this out yourself by placing the magnet next to a piece of clothing or sock, then placing a paper clip on the other side. If the magnet is not strong enough to hold the paper clip through your sock, then it will not penetrate your body either.
Alternatively, you should check out the strength of the magnet before you buy it. They are typically measured in units called gauss (G). Simple refrigerator magnets range from 35 to 200 G, but the magnets that may treat your pain range from 300 to 5,000 G."
