Queries About Magnetic Therapy 

There are many frequently asked questions about Magnetic Therapy such as "what is it?" and "how does it work?"   Please take a moment to review these Q/A's and we're sure it will help you to better understand and appreciate the natural science of this wonderful element as a form of alternative therapy.

Q:    What Is  Magnetic Therapy?

A:     Magnetic Therapy is an ancient and natural method used to relieve pain, enhance sleep and restore energy.  Magnets have been proven to enable the body to regain its self-healing electromagnetic balance in a safe, effective and economic form of alternative therapy.

Q:    How does Magnetic Therapy work?

A:    The iron in our blood acts as a conductor of the magnetic energy or fields, produced by various magnets or magnetic therapy products.  It is believed that this interaction improves blood flow, which increases the efficiency of oxygen and nutrient delivery to stressed or damaged cells and tissues in the body and helps to reduce pain and inflammation.

Q:    What are some benefits of Magnetic Therapy?

A:    Benefits of Magnetic Therapy include:  reduced inflammation, pain relief, increased blood circulation, restores natural energy, assists metabolic processing of toxins, prevents and/or reduces infection and supports natural healing processes of the body. 

Q:    What does polarity signify? 

A:    In relation to Magnetic Therapy, North and South Poles are quite unique.  North pole magnets have a sedating, healing effect while South pole magnets promote stimulation and have an activating effect on cells and tissues.  If a therapy or product is noted as Bipolar (both poles), it will increase circulation and will be effective for pain control on conditions near the skin surface.

Q:    What is "Gauss"?

A:    Magnetic strength is measured in units called "gauss".  The strength of a magnet is dependent on the size, weight and shape of the magnet.  Magnets commonly found in Magnetic Therapy products often range between 100 to 2,500 gauss.  

Q:    How long are magnets expected to last?

A:    With normal use and proper care, the magnetic elements in the therapy products will last a lifetime.  However, magnetic products can be demagnetized if exposed to high termperatures exceeding 140 degrees celcius (240F).

Q:    How quickly can I expect results with Magnetic Therapy?

A:    The results of relief will be as unique as the individual trying the therapy.  The majority of users typically report relief within several hours to several weeks, with yet others within minutes.  Please be advised that the effect may be very subtle and may not be noticeable until the treatment is discontinued.   Relief may be returned with continued use of theapies.

Q:    Is Magnetic Therapy safe?

A:    As magnets are a natural product of the earth's elements, they are one of the safest and non-intrusive forms of alternative therapy available today.   Based on their study on magnetic fields published in 1987, the World Health Organization also holds this position.
