In today’s World there are a lot of medical conditions and complaints for doctors to deal with. With the thousands upon thousands of medical drugs available to patients via the Pharmacy, more and more people are turning to alternative forms of therapy; both herbal and non-herbal.
One of the most popular forms of alternative treatment is magnetic therapy.
The Theory
In order to fully comprehend the theory behind magnotherapy, it is advised that you understand how magnets work on a basic level. Magnets are comprised of metallic alloys.
At its most basic, magnetic therapy uses magnetic fields to soothe physical discomforts. Specifically, exposure to said magnet fields can have a positive health impact on a person. The theory is that your blood is a living tissue. Your body’s overall ability to function correctly depends completely on the nutrients and oxygen transported by your blood.
Your blood contains white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin and iron (among many other elements). It is this iron that is supposedly influenced by therapeutic magnets. If a part of the body suffers from bad circulation, magnets may be placed on the affected area. The strength of the magnet influences the iron in the blood. Theoretically, the magnet draws the iron toward it, therefore improving circulation.
The Controversy
Many experts in the medical community scoff at magnetic therapy. They attempt undermine the lack of evidence and the absolute devotion from its many worldwide supporters. Opponents of the practice consider it the modern day equivalent of "snake oil" (A remedy known for being marketed as a miracle cure without any real evidence or proof of its claims to heal).
Most importantly it is you, the user, to make your own mind up.
