Biomagnetic Therapy

The recognition of the healing properties of magnets and the birth of biomagnetic therapy took place in ancient Greece nearly 100,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks understood the healing properties of magnets on the body and that was the birth of biomagnetic therapy. While many countries such as Japan and Germany have very advanced biomagnetic therapy studies, the United States is not quite as far along. Scientists and doctors do use magnets as part of imaging procedures, but biomagnetic therapy is not yet a mainstream practice in the United States.

The benefits of biomagnetic therapy include decreasing the inflammation of joints and muscles thereby decreasing the pain and discomfort the inflammation can create. Biomagnetic therapy is also effective in warding of various forms of viruses and even can operate as an antifungal agent. Biomagnetic therapy can reduce stress and improve the circulation of the blood within the body.

The basic belief as to how biomagnetic therapy works is that the cells work properly when their electric currents are aligning properly. However, when the body's tissue suffers damage then inflammation occurs due to lack of blood flow to the tissue. The poor blood flow damages the cells and the polarity of the cells is no longer accurate. People using biomagnetic therapy believe that the biomagnets restore the polarity of the cells, which helps the body to operate effectively and thereby helps the body heal itself more faster and more effectively.

Biomagnetic therapy is not a cure all therapy. Biomagnetic therapy is typically part of an overall treatment plan that includes traditional as well as alternative medical options. Most people consider biomagnetic therapy an alternative or complimentary medical option.

Patients considering starting a biomagnetic therapy option should first discuss any possible risks or concerns with their physician. Biomagnetic therapy is gaining in popularity in the United States, but until it really catches on, some doctors may not recommend biomagnetic therapy as a regular form of treatment.
