A HEALING ATTRACTION
For years, Magnetic Therapy has been one of the most controversial topics in the medical industry. It is a practice that is still on the drawing board. However, some have already made claims that this treatment is effective. Though it is not yet medically recognized, a lot of people already endorse such a healing procedure. In definition, Magnetic Therapy is an alternative treatment to known muscle and joint pains. Doctors have long been studying and doing research on its effect in alleviating such ailments with the use of magnets.
In theory, the pain stimulus is triggered from the nerve endings and travels to the brain. The brain later on interprets the signals through its receptors and registers it as pain. This therapy aims to lessen, if not, terminate this excruciating feeling. Simply put, magnets are used for healing in lieu of pain medications.
How does it work?
The magnets that are used here are a little stronger than a refrigerator magnet. When it is placed against the area of the body, for example a painful knee, it is said to have a vasodilating effect on the capillaries surrounding it. This causes blood flow to increase thereby relaxing the affected part and relieveing the pain. Some companies have already developed and marketed a few items that contain processed magnets which may be worn daily by an individual. These may be from a simple magnetic ring or bracelet, to a magnetic blanket or pillow. For those people who are athletic and are always on the go there are magnetic straps, massagers, body pads, and even shoe insoles.
Will this be good for me?
Clinically, this study has been observed for many years now and some have promising results. People who suffer with post-polio disorder, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, and the like were involved and are the main subjects of the research.
If you suffer from other body pains that medicine can’t seem to cure, this alternative way of healing yourself could benefit you somehow. Although your doctor may give a huge objection, remember that it is a viable option. It is not invasive, meaning it does not warrant needles and pins to be inserted into your body. It is, however, a bit costly since the prices of the magnets vary depending on what item you choose to carry around with you.
Magnetic Therapy is unrecognized by medicine, nor is it legally accredited by the government. However, if you find comfort in this simple way of liberating yourself from pain, who can question your choice? If a simple magnetic ring can ease the aggravating feeling that you may have, then by all means buy one now.
Skeptics are still awaiting medical approval before they try an alternative medicine such as this. Some may even react negatively to such a study. Regardless of public opinion, magnetic therapy is here to stay. Who knows? In the years to come, the simple use of magnets may be the answer to our constant struggle to find cure for cancer and other diseases.
