THERAPEUTIC MAGNETS
The therapeutic quality of the magnet is a function of magnetic flux - measured in Gauss - and the size or mass of the magnet. The Earth's magnetic field is 0.5 gauss , a magnet used for advertising of many businesses , may be about 10 gauss. Therapeutic magnets are chosen in a range between 1000 to 12,000 gauss , approximately.
The magnet size is also important. Neodymium magnets can have little force greater than 10,000 gauss. However, as their fields can penetrate only a few centimeters into the body, are used to treat dysfunctions very localized . Instead, a ferrite magnet and mass , that has a much lower strength because of its magnetic flux can spread throughout the body .
Polarity makes a difference
Although there is disagreement among researchers as to the poles of a magnet , we know we have various healing effects . The north pole calm , is soothing and reduces inflammation . In contrast , the south pole stimulates and promotes the growth and activity.
The magnets affect the body
Therapeutic magnets have direct action on the biochemical and physiological mechanisms .
- Calcium balances essential to many physiological processes . Magnetic fields can attract calcium ions to treat a bone or at the opposite end , remove excess calcium embedded in joints that are affected by painful arthritic processes .
- Modify the acidity or alkalinity of body fluids , which are often out of balance in disease states
- It affects the production of hormones - including the pineal gland - and initiates a cascade of biological effects.
- Involved in the biological activity of enzymes and influences the production of ATP , a molecule that provides cellular fuel for the entire body .
Therapeutic applications
General applications include the removal of pain and discomfort , reduced inflammation , blood circulation regularized normalization pH level , increasing the ability to overcome the infection , reducing stress, induction a better quality of sleep , correction of various central nervous system disorders , the total energy balance , accelerating the healing process (especially bone fractures ) , and more, much more. |
