Magnetic Therapy Natural Pain Relief

magnetic therapy treatments when pregnant

Why should pregnant women avoid exposure to magnets? Is it safe for babies to wear magnets?

***

To be perfectly honest there is no solid research done on this subject to give you a definite answer.

We always err on the side of caution because we cannot guarantee the effects of magnets on babies and children.

It is thought by some that the presence of magnets on pregnant women or children under the age of 7 may interfere with the growth and development process and possible cause malformations within the body. Continue reading magnetic therapy treatments when pregnant…

How many healing magnets to use

Can I overdose on magnetic therapy?

In one word NO - You cannot overdose on magnetic therapy. Medical healing magnets do not work the same way as drugs. You can overdose on drugs because they are chemicals that your body (liver) needs to excrete before it gets to harmful levels in your system.

That’s why you have to wait for a said amount of time before taking more drugs and only at the prescribed dosage. Otherwise it can have catastrophic effects.

Magnetic therapy treatments on the other hand works in a totally different way. There is no harmful chemicals involved. It is totally natural and safe for the body. The body does not have to get rid of some magnetism before you can add more as it is the case with drugs.

There is no maximum dosage of magnetic strength and you cannot wear too many magnets. An MRI scanner (magnetic resonance imaging scanner) uses magnetic fields to scan the body for disease and injuries. They are used in hospitals every single day without any harmful side effects. An MRI scanner emits a magnetic strength of approximately 500,000 gauss which is significantly stronger than the magnetic strength of 25 medical magnetic products.

Hematite magnetic bracelets for elbow pain

I have arthritis in both my elbows, what is the best magnetic bracelet for me? Also, my boyfriend has high blood pressure, neuropathy, low back pain and a bad left knee; what would you recommend for him? We have ordered hematite magnetic bracelets already. Thank you. Patricia

Hi Patricia

The hematite magnetic bracelets are nice bracelets but their strength isn’t always
suitable for treating arthritis and certainly not in the elbow joint. The magnets are not strong enough in these bracelets to make a difference to pain in the elbow as this area is too far away from the healing magnets.

For treating the elbows, you can use either 2 magnetic elbow straps or 2 high strength stainless steel magnetic bracelets, one on each arm.

The magnetic straps can be worn right on the elbow so it is very close to your source of pain. This makes them quite effective but they only contain 6 magnets in each strap. The magnets are classed as high strength as they measure 2,600 gauss each. The strap is a black adjustable neoprene strap and needs to be worn all the time.

Magnetic therapy treatments and drugs

How safe is it to use magnetic therapy with conventional medication?

It is perfectly safe to use magnetic therapy products with all conventional treatments except drug patches. This includes oral medication, physiotherapy, steroid injections, epidural injections, splints, supports, gels and creams and tens machines.

Healing magnets do not interact with medication prescribed by your doctor, they will not affect the way in which your tablets work even if you are taking lots of tablets for several different problems. For example you could be taking warfarin, high blood pressure tablets, aspirin, insulin, diabetic tablets, pain killers, steroids, anti depressants, high cholesterol tablets and many many more.

The only medication that will be affected by magnets are GTN drug patches, all other medication and drug patches are safe to use with magnets.

Magnetic products do not interfere with any treatments that you may be receiving from your doctor or specialist (except dialysis, chemotherapy and radiotherapy).

You do not have to stop using magnets before you start a course of treatment, for example you can use magnets if you are having a course of steroid injections or if you receive epidural injections. Magnets are safe to use during a course of physiotherapy or hydrotherapy. Continue reading Magnetic therapy treatments and drugs…

Who should not use magnetic therapy treatments?

Are magnetic therapy treatments safe for everyone to use?

Healing magnets are perfectly safe to use as there are no known harmful side effects to using them providing you do not fall into the following categories:

# People with an internal pacemaker - the magnetic field may interrupt the signal between the pacemaker and the heart. Magnets could cause a pacemaker to malfunction. You may use magnetic products such as magnetic jewellery or straps if your partner has a pacemaker, but they should be removed for periods of intimate contact with your partner, for example sexual intercourse.

# People with an internal defibrillator (machine which re starts the heart) - the magnetic field may interrupt the signals between the defibrillator and the heart, causing the defibrillator to malfunction. If a partner is using therapeutic magnets follow the precautions for a pacemaker above.

# People with an internal insulin pump - a magnetic field could interfere with the timing and delivery mechanism of the pump, causing the machine to administer an incorrect dose of insulin. If your partner is using magnets follow the precaution as per the pacemaker. Continue reading Who should not use magnetic therapy treatments?…
