The Attraction of Magnets
The sun is a magnetically-charged star and it supports a strong, changing magnetic field that varies year to year. Magnetic energy is the strongest natural force in the universe and the power of magnets is one of the most basic energies of nature. The earth is a magnet and we live within its magnetic field.
Magnetic Deficiency
The earth’s magnetic field strength has decreased by 6% since 1830 and an estimated 30% in the last millennium. It is believed many of today’s modern ailments are a direct result of this decrease. This 'Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome' can be relieved by the direct application of a supplementary magnetic field to the body to provide some of the magnetic field energy the earth has lost.
Magnetic Benefits for the Human Body
Studies have found that applying a static magnetic field to the body can help dilate the blood vessels, support circulation and bring relief from pain. The use of magnetic therapy has been well documented throughout history dating back thousands of years. Cleopatra wore a lodestone (natural magnet) on a necklace and believed in its wellness properties.
The plasma of the blood contains billions of charged mineral ions such as sodium, potassium and magnesium, which flow through the body’s blood vessels in a straight path. The application of a magnet changes the dynamics of this ionic flow, deflecting the ions in a perpendicular direction to their motion. This creates a sideways movement, which dilates the blood vessel walls, increasing blood flow. This results in more oxygen and nutrients being carried to the cells and aids the removal of harmful toxins.
Magnetic Strength is Vital
Magnets are measured in gauss. Gauss in not a measure of strength of a magnet but actually pertains to the amount or density of electrons that surround the magnet itself. The gauss is strongest close to the magnet and falls off quickly. Magnets should be worn close to the skin to receive the maximum effect. Clinical studies have found that delivering a static magnetic field between 700 – 1500 mT Gauss to the body can result in significant relief from pain.
