Magnetic Health Therapy - Gaining Popularity

Magnetic health therapy has been gaining popularity over the past few years as a method of natural treatment for many common health problems. Today the magnetic therapy industry in the United States exceeds $300 million dollars in sales per year. Products such as magnetic bracelets and jewelry; magnetic straps for wrists, ankles, and backs; shoe insoles, mattresses, and magnetic blankets (blankets with magnets woven into the material) are quite common among health conscience people. These products fall into the class of static magnetics because just like the horseshoe magnet we played with as kids, the magnetic field of these products is ever present at steady field strength. nnPulsed Magnetic Therapy is another form used for magnetic health therapy but unlike the static type, is a form of magnetics that is dynamic in its strength and duration. In order to produce a pulsed magnetic field, special electronic components coupled with a power source are required. Pulsating magnetic fields can be controlled and put into application in different ways. A well know application of pulsed magnetics is the MRI machine. Other emerging applications of pulsed magnetics are in the form of portable, personal devices for use in the home. A good example of this is the ImmunOnOne produced by Immune Sentry, LTD. nnPulsating magnetic fields are beneficial to the body by providing a stimulus to assist self healing. Some of the health problems that pulsed magnetic health therapy can help with are: Imbalances within the immune system (the immune system is vital in warding off illness), pain reduction (this includes chronic pain, sinus pain, migraines and headaches), relaxation (including physical tension, stress, and anxiety), allergies (hay fever and skin allergies), Dermatology (Rosacea, Eczema, Dermatitis), and accelerated recovery from a variety of illnesses (flu viruses & colds). nnIt is believed by supporters of magnetic therapy that all things on earth are affected and controlled by magnetic fields. A disruption in nature’s magnetic fields is believed to be a factor in the cause of a number of our human health issues. This belief is the reasoning behind magnetic therapy. Health products that transmit pulsed magnetic waves cause the flow of a small amount of electrical current within cells of the treatment area. This stimulus is complementary to the natural electrical current flow within our body, and assists the body’s ability to fight off or lessen the effects of illness. nnMagnetism is a natural phenomenon that is ever present in our daily lives. We are surrounded by natural magnetic fields as well as various forms of man-made electro magnetics. Electric motors, transformers, communication equipment and a host of other devices are emitting magnetism into the environment around the clock. Unfortunately the man-made electro magnetics is not in phase with human frequencies so no benefit can be gained. Medical related, pulsed magnetics can be controlled and tuned to the natural frequencies of the human system. This tuning is complementary to natural frequencies of our bodies and provides a natural stimulus to assist in the healing process.n
