An example would be the use of four magnets on the back. Just place the magnets on the points below the shoulder blade and one to two inches to the side from the spine line. How effective are these methods? There are studies conducted in National Institute of Mental Health along with national Institute of Neurological Disorders and stroke and National Institute for Health on how repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) was able to improve the mood of several patients. It is not recommended that you undergo magnetic therapy just after you ate a meal. It is possible that you feel some nausea if you do so. But some would suggest that you eat or drink hot foods and hot liquids before your treatment. The hot food and liquid will keep the body warm during the magnetic treatment. There had been evidence that suggests that magnet therapy can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, restore natural energy, increase blood circulation, and prevent infection and promote natural metabolic processes to help support the healing process. From the proponents of magnet therapy, the claim is that it is a non-invasive treatment method with a high success rate. Some say unipolars are the ideal kinds of magnets to use in therapies. However, since only one area is being used to penetrate the body you probably will need a very strong magnet to achieve significant results. This is where people who use bipolar magnets say that they have an advantage. By using two kinds of magnetic polarity, a magnetic field is created strong enough to go inside the body or affected area to induce treatment. When absorbed the gut and bowel lining, the magnetised water can helping in balancing the magnetic field of the digestive system. One thing to keep in mind though, is that although magnet therapy can help in weight reduction, keeping the pounds away is not only about using magnets. At the end, exercise, proper diet and an overall healthy lifestyle would keep the pounds away and the beautiful and healthy you, stay. Past and present therapy Various old cultures have been known to have used magnets for pain relief and other symptoms. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and the Chinese have been known to have used magnets for treatments of various illnesses. In those times, however, the right sizes and weights of magnets that can produce noticeable effects are rare.
