Say Good-Bye To Pain With Magnetic Therapy

So many people these days either don't want to take medications or conventional medicine has not worked for them. In fact, over 100 million Americans struggle with chronic pain every year. Magnets are being rediscovered by many of those who have found magnetic bracelets or wraps to be effective for pain management.

Those who use magnetic therapy believe that the magnets help to increase the amount of oxygen available to the cells. Magnets are used to treat a variety of conditions from arthritis, inflammation, fibromyalgia, neuropathy and muscle pain to cancer and AIDS and even depression.

Magnetic Therapy is not new. The ancient Egyptians and Chinese used magnets for muscle pain and stiffness. Additionally, The Vedas, ancient Hindu scriptures discuss healing with magnets. Since then, magnets have often been used for mainly arthritis. More recently, those who play sports have used magnets to relieve pain which has increased magnetic therapy's popularity.

There have also been studies on magnets for pain. Baylor College of Medicine did a study where patients who did not respond to other pain therapies had a magnet or non magnet taped to sore areas. 75% of those who had real magnets reported less pain. The New York Medical College in Valhalla also conducted a study on magnetic insoles for diabetic people's feet. It turned out that 9 out of 10 reported improvement. Other studies on magnets for depression are showing promise.

Luckily, magnets are available in many shapes and forms for people to wear easily. One can get traditional wraps for wrists for carpal tunnel, for example, or knee wraps for knee pain. However, there are also mattress pads which allow you to sleep while getting therapy. Also, there is fashion jewelry with magnets so you can easily wear magnets to work. Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are available for both men and women. Don't forget Fido or Buttons! Magnetic pet pads can help your family dog or cat with arthritis too.

Healthy Food for October

These seeds can be eaten on their own or added to salads, cereals, yogurts, etc. to boost nutritional content.

Staff Pick for October

Maca

Maca has been used for centuries by Peruvians to increase stamina and energy. I had tried a number of herbs for energy before, but none delivered results like Maca. With Maca, you get a nice boost of energy without any jitters or sick feeling. If you are sensitive to herbs, medicines, or foods, this is an excellent supplement - no weird buzz like energy drinks!
