Biomagnetic Therapy is the application of specially designed magnets to the human body to induce the symptomatic relief of pain, both acute and chronic. Biomagnets are valuable as a tool for self-help problems such as insomnia, chronic pain and tension.
Some researchers speculate that the magnets affect pain receptors in the joints, muscles or brain.
Others believe they stimulate acupuncture points. Many say they promote healing by stimulating blood flow to the affected region, which brings extra oxygen and nutrients and reduces inflammation as toxins are flushed out. Avoid use during pregnancy Do not use on open wounds Keep away from extreme heat, credit cards, watches, recording tapes, etc. People using transdermal drug delivery systems should avoid magnets.
