Magnetotherapy in India

Of late there has been a lot of attention on complementary forms of therapy like Reiki, Acupressure, Magnetotherapy, Homeopathy, Aroma therapy, Color therapy and lots more. So, are these methods new and untried and hence not safe? The fact is alternative therapy has been practiced in India from the ancient time. Tradition says that ‘mantram, tantram, yantram and aushadam’ (chanting, sharpness, charm-like devices and medicinal potions) should complement each other. However, all these treatment methods were primarily holistic and not symptom based.

What is magnetotherapy and how does it work?
Magnetotherapy is the process of curing or healing an ailment by using electromagnets on the bones, tissues and cells of the human body. Magnetotherapy works on the principle of the magnetic field of the body. In this procedure the electromagnets are used to influence the natural bio-electric currents and immune system. As human beings are very sensitive to the electromagnetic field, this magnetic effect penetrates each and every cell in the body on account of the highly pervasive character of magnetism. The magnetotherapist diagnoses and restores balance with the help of static or electromagnets with appropriate intensity of magnetic field at proper points.

The electromagnets that are used for the treatment increases the process of removal of the toxins, cleans the clogged or blocked vessels, throws out kidney stones (if any) and are even capable of killing the cancerous cells in the early stages.

The magnetic force in the electromagnets enhances the immune system of the body, develops the effectiveness of the drugs and eventually improves the characteristics of blood. This leads to the healing (either repressing of the disease or completely eradicating it) of many serious health problems. It has been seen that magnetotherapy is very effective in balancing altered metabolic functions and also in counterbalancing the degenerative processes. Research shows that issues like arthritis, polio, spondylitis, paralysis, slip disc, inflammation, infections, stiffness, back ache, severe and persistent pains and fractured bones have been cured by this alternative therapy.

Is this therapy painful?
Not at all! Magnetotherapy is a simple, pain-free and natural treatment that does not have any side effects. However, it is important that this treatment is conducted under the guidance of your therapist. It must also be remembered that only magnets with particular shapes, sizes and strengths must be used at the appropriate points for specified time.

Magnetotherapy and meditation
Any form of naturopathy (like magnetotherapy, acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, aroma therapy) cures an ailment by bringing about harmony in the mind and increasing the concentration. Experiments and research has clearly indicated that using magnets during meditation brings a balance between all the mental nerves.

• The magnetic energy strengthens the network of the nervous system which in turn increases the power of concentration and meditation remarkably. Application of magnets has also helped in Transcendental Meditation.

• This magnetic force has a lot of positive impact on our body; it monitors the flow of blood and stimulates the digestive system. Besides, it also helps to keep the body warm by giving the requisite amount of heat. Thus it is capable of providing the patient with the appropriate amount of physical and mental environment that is required for meditation.

• Magnetism prevents the accumulation of calcium and cholesterol in the body and makes it healthy and flexible.

Some advantages of Magnetotherapy
• This treatment does not require any medication or surgery.
• No big machinery or equipment is used for this form of treatment; a few pairs of magnets are sufficient to handle all diseases.
• It is safe, simple and economical. There is no recurring expense as the same magnets can be used for different diseases for hundreds of patients. However, the if the strength of the magnets decrease after a period of 4 to 5 years, they can be recharged to be used again for treatment.
