Magnets have a long history of being used as healing devices to treat various medical conditions. Magnetic healing was even practiced in ancient civilisations. Hippocrates, “the father of Medicine” wrote about magnetic healing powers, while Cleopatra, known for her exquisite beauty, purportedly adorned herself with magnetic jewellery and slept with lodestone (a natural magnet) under her pillow to preserve her youthfulness and vitality. Chinese manuscripts dating back thousands of years describe the "Qi" life force that is generated by the earth's magnetic field.

The human body is surrounded by an intricate network of geomagnetic fields that play a major role in bodily functions and health conditions. Our cells are governed by tiny electromagnetic currents generated by chemical reactions within cells and ionic currents of the nervous system, and are highly sensitive to changes in the earth's geomagnetic fields.

Scientists report that the earth's geomagnetic field is declining every decade. Coupled with the magnetic field interference created by power lines, electrical wiring, motor vehicles, and home appliances such as televisions, microwave ovens, computers, mobile phones, etc, this has affected health and well-being-- causing what is known to scientists as “Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome”.The problem is further magnified when we live in steel-reinforced, concrete houses or high-rise buildings that block our exposure to the earth's natural magnetic fields.

How is the human body in tune with the earth's magnetic fields? The earth's magnetic field rotates in the frequency range of 8 to 14 cycles per second. The alpha rhythms produced by the human brain in a relaxed state are in the same frequency range of 8 to 14 cycles per second.

Magnets: Natural Healers & Energisers for the Body!

Magnet therapy is the solution to “Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome”. It rebalances electromagnetic currents and restores the proper charge to the body cells, so that natural healing can occur.

Applying magnets to an injured area causes the blood vessels, and surrounding muscles and connective tissues, to relax and dilate (improving circulation). At the same time, the magnets attract the iron (haemoglobin) in red blood cells, thus bringing more blood, oxygen, nutrients and white blood cells to the injured area to accelerate healing. Upon leaving the area, the blood removes toxins and other wastes, which helps the detoxification and regeneration processes.

By helping to release endorphins (the body's own natural painkillers), magnets bring soothing relief to chronic back pain, muscular and joint pains, sports injuries (tennis elbow, tendonitis, ligament soreness, etc.), menstrual cramps, headaches and migraines, arthritis, gout, and rheumatism.

Magnets Keep You Young! Do you know why you're advised to sleep in a North-South direction? It is because the pineal gland, which is responsible for melatonin production in the body, is sensitive to the earth's magnetic field. Sleeping in that direction aligns the body's electromagnetic fields with the earth's, allowing better production of melatonin that promotes sound, restful sleep for the body's natural repair and rejuvenation process. Incidentally, melatonin is also a potent anti-ageing hormone and a powerful antioxidant!
