Magnetic Therapy History

Magnet therapy dates back to 2000 B.C. China. The Yellow Emperor Book Of Internal Medicine. The applications of magnetic stones were used to correct health imbalances, and were based on supportive evidence that had accumulated over previous centuries. A well developed system of medicine on the premise that health depended on the circulation of vital energies in the body through prescribed pathways.

More recently, Dr. Ron Lawrence, M.D., P.H.D., Magnet Therapy, The Pain Cure Alternative, did a study that involved measuring the blood flow through plethysmography (pleth”iz-MOG’rah-fe). Blood volume was measured and charted in the forefinger. When a magnet was placed on the wrist, he found a 300% increase in blood volume in the forefinger after five minutes.


Magnet Therapy

Magnet therapy is available in all forms, shapes, sizes and strengths, as well as permanent and non-permanent magnets. Magnets can be wrapped (knee and elbow wraps) taped, shoe insoles and even slept on (magnetic mattresses). The MOST EFFECTIVE and the simplest form are wearing them on your wrist. Nobody is going to use wraps, tape, insoles or sleep on magnets 24 hours a day 7 days a week! However, a beautiful, comfortable, waterproof, magnetic bracelet can be worn 24/7.


How They Really Work

Wearing strong magnets around your wrist increases 3 times more blood circulation throughout your body.

We have 15 acupuncture points in each wrist. The points in your right wrist stimulate your upper body following the trails, covering your right hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, middle back, upper back, neck and head.

The left wrist stimulates strong blood circulation to the left shoulder & arm as well as lower back, hips, knees and lower body.

About 10% to 15% of people (more sensitive) can actually feel an increase in their blood circulation immediately after using magnets. They experience a tingling and warmth sensation. A clear indication “they really work.”  For those individuals that do not feel tingling, the magnets are still working. Most people start to feel the difference within the first 24-48 hours; however it could take quite a bit longer.
