How Do Magnets Work?

The science of Magnotherapy indicates that two vital things happen when a magnet is placed on the skin:

• First, the soft tissue will lengthen and help to relax down a muscle or ligament that is damaged or traumatised. It will work in an area and depth directly proportional to the type and strength of the magnet used. Depending on the strength, you should be able to effect a change to a radius of between 3-5 inches around any one magnet and to a similar depth.
• Secondly, the tissue relaxes, oxygen and blood flow that has so far restricted access to the damaged site is allowed in and is increased. This effect can be seen using thermal imaging techniques.

Normally an injured site, whether from arthritis, torn muscles or any other condition, will be surrounded by inflammation.

This can comprise of lactic acids, calcium and other deposits. Basically the site is "hot" with acidity.

The increase in oxygen and blood flow brings with it increased alkalinity.

This neutralises the acidity, allowing the body to start its own healing abilities. Magnets merely encourage this in a truly dramatic way.

Magnet therapy activates the following responses in the body;

• Lengthen and relax tissue
• Commence the process of flushing out debris and inflammation from the site
• Start the body's own pain relieving system.

How Soon Do Magnets Work?

If a magnet is going to work for you, it can happen within hours when quality magnets are placed over the damaged area.

Normally, improvements would be seen within 1 - 7 days, when you are directly treating the site of pain.

With magnet therapy, it must be remembered that is it necessary to drink at least 3-4 glasses of water a day, this being needed to flush from your system the toxins being released from the cells.
