Magneto Therapy- Information

 What is Magneto Therapy:

          Magneto therapy is an art of healing through magnets. The magnet relieves distressing symptoms of many diseases and cures them without medicine. It is a forgotten ancient system of treatment, which is being revived now. Magnetic treatment works by reviving, reforming and promoting growth of cells, rejuvenating tissues and increasing the number of sound blood corpuscles. Function of Autonomic nerves are normalised and internal organs controlled by them regain their proper functions. It is also beneficial for mental retardation and weak memory. Magnetic emanations pass through the tissues and secondary currents are induced.  These currents produce impacting heat, which reduces pains and swellings. Properties of water change when it is brought in contact with Magnetic field. Blood is also similarly influenced and gets ionised. It flows more easily, improving circulation and avoiding clotting. Magnetic emanation exercise positive effect on the haemoglobin of blood and removes excess of calcium, cholesterol, etc. Magnetic treatment thus helps maintain homoeostasis of the body. One feels in full vigour and vitality often magnetic treatment. Each MAGNET has two poles. NORTH and SOUTH and each pole have its own characteristics.


Types of Magnet:

Artificial magnets are of two types: permanent magnets and electro- magnets. Permanent magnets remain magnetised permanently, once they have been fully charged with electric current. Electro- magnets work only when they are connected with electricity and such magnets are switched on and off with the switching on and off of the electric current. The healing purpose of magnetotherapy is best served by permanent magnets, as electromagnets essentially suffer from fluctuations.

 Permanent Magnets:

            Permanent magnets are made from a wide range of materials, iron being the main. But commonly an alloy called Alnico composed of aluminium, nickel, iron and cobalt in differing proportions, is used for making permanent magnets. In addition, some magnets are made from a synthetic material prepared from oxides of ferric and barium and are called ceramic, ferrite or graphite magnets or simply ceramic magnets. Magnets from both these materials are made in a number of shapes and sizes as needed. Some of them are bar shaped, some are cylindrical, some of them are bar shaped, some are cylindrical, some cylindrical and with or without holes, some are ring- shaped, or rectangular, with holes or without holes, some are crescent like or U- shaped or horse- shoe- shaped, square with holes or without holes, etc. In Magnetic treatment, cylindrical shaped magnets of Alnico and crescent shaped magnets of ceramic materia mostly are used.

 Unique Properties:

            The magnetism has several peculiar features. These are as under:

1.                  Every magnet, big or small, even the tiniest, must have two poles- north pole and south pole- just like two poles of the earth. If a bar magnet is cut or broken into two or a number of pieces, each piece will immediately become an independent magnet with both the poles at both ends. The power of magnetism in a magnet is at its highest at its two poles but lowest at the midline equidistant from the two poles.

2.                   Opposite poles attract each other but like poles repel. If north and south poles of two magnets are confronted with each other, they will be found clamouring for a union but if the same poles are brought together they will run away from each other.

3.                  The third feature concerns the concept of magnetic lines of force. The region covered by the lines of force around the magnet is called its magnetic field.

4.                  The strength of a magnetic field is subject to the strength of the magnet, but irrespective of the strength of the magnet the expanse of the magnetic field is always infinite, just like the bigger and bigger rings created by sound in space. The grip of a magnetic field continuously weakens with the distance from the magnet but it never ends or becomes non- existent.

 Measurement of sterength:

            The strength of a magnet or its magnetic field is measured by an instrument called magnetometer or gaussmeter in gauss units or oersted. This instrument is generally available only in laboratories, the strength of a magnet is commonly measured in terms of the iron weight it can lift. A magnet which can lift 2 lbs. of its is of about 500- 600 gauss power.  The other with lifting capacity of 5 lbs. will be of about 900- 1,250 gauss, of 25 lbs. close to 2500 gauss and 50 lbs. will be between 3,500 and 4,500 gauss. In magnet- treatment magnets of 1,500 to 3,000 gauss power are applied to big muscles or to strong part of body e.g. hands, back hips, knees, legs, feet etc., and also in case of chronic diseases like rheumatism, but magnets of about 500 gauss power are only applied to delicate parts like eyes, temples, nose, throat etc. In cases of small children and infants also only these weak magnets are used. 

 Uses of North Pole (N) of the Magnets:

             The NORTH pole kills germs and stops the activity of Bacteria. Hence it is applied on Boils, Eczema, Glands, Rashes of skin, ulcers, cancer etc. where some infection is suspected to be working at the root of the disease. The North pole (N) is giving resistance to our body. It destroys the micro pathogens. It controls the excessive and aggressive growth. It reduces the Vascularity. It is having cooling effect. Therefore we can use this for non- healing ulcers, sore, itching. It is useful for controlling body temperature and stopping the bleeding by cooling. It heals the wounds and prevents the pus formation. For burns also it is used. To relieve the itching and to heal the burns it is used widely. It also arrests the cataract formation in the eyes.

  Uses of South Pole (S) of the Magnets:

             The SOUTH pole provides energy, gives strength and removes Pain and Swelling, regularises the circulation of blood. It is therefore used for relieving headache, Pains Stiffness and Swelling on all parts of the body and regulates all types of Blood Pressure. The South pole (S) is increases the energy of the body. It will warm the body. It stimulates the growth. In tired persons, it increases the blood flow and give refresh ness. It is used to reduce the pain also. When kept on the painful swellings, as the blood flow is stimulated, the pain is reduced. Because it stimulates the blood flow, the degradative products of metabolism are excreted without being trapped inside the body. It relieves the sprain also.

 Uses of Both Poles of the Magnets:

             All the diseases of the body occur due to reduced immunity and infecting organisms. When we use both the poles together they increase the immunity and kill the pathogenic micro- organisms. So this treatment protects the body from the diseases and cures the diseases.

 Five Methods of Magnetic Treatment:

             Method I: North Pole under the palm of the right- hand and South Pole under the palm of the left hand. Used for treating ailments of the upper half of the body, as arthritis of hands, paralytic weakness, pain, swelling, stiffness of neck, arms, wrist and hands, asthma, bronchitis, heart troubles, etc.

             Method II: North Pole under the palm of the right- hand and South Pole under the sole of the left foot. This diagnal application affects liver, spleen, stomach and intestines. Has a curative effect on the digestive system and cures gastric troubles, etc.

             Method III: North Pole under the palm of the left- hand and South Pole under the sole of the left foot. For treating the left- sided ailments like paralysis, polio, general weakness, etc.

             Method IV: North Pole under the palm of the right- hand and South Pole under the sole of the right foot. For treating the right- sided ailments like paralysis, polio, general weakness, etc.

             Method V: North Pole under the sole of the right- foot and South Pole under the sole of the left foot. Used for treating ailments of the lower part of the body, including arthritis of feet and ankles, gout, irregular or low circulation of blood in the legs, etc.

             The above five methods are considered sufficient to cover a maximum number of illness. However variations and departure are mostly likely to occur according to the needs of situation.
