Magnet therapy or magnotherapy is an alternative medicine practice involving the use of static magnetic fields. It is claimed that subjecting certain parts of the body to magneto static fields that are produced by permanent magnets has some beneficial health effects. Magnet therapy is considered pseudoscientific (This is a claim, belief, or practice which is presented as scientific, but which does not adhere to a valid scientific methodology i.e. this therapy has no reliable scientific proof that it works ) due to a lack of any established effect on health or healing.
Magnetic Therapy works on the basis that haemoglobin (the blood protein which carries oxygen) is weakly diamagnetic (this is the property of an object which causes it to create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field ) and is repulsed by magnetic fields. Thus if you can effect this process then you can effect the way in which the energy flows through the blood and body.
Therefore magnet therapy uses electromagnetic devices or permanent static magnets in the form of bracelets, rings, straps etc to help increase energy levels, vitality or aid in the general healing of the body for purported health benefits. Some practitioners assign different effects based on the orientation of the magnet; under the laws of physics, magnetic poles are symmetric.
I can not stress enough that there is no proven scientific results to show that magnetic therapy can aid in the cure of Cancers or major medical problems and you should be very cautious about spending money with therapist that promise cures or relief from these medical problems. If you are suffering from permanent pain or are feeling constantly run down then you should go and see a doctor.
