Magnetotherapy
Magneto therapy is a system in which diseases are treated through the application of magnets to the human body. No drugs are administered under this therapy.Magneto therapy is a clinical system in which human ailments are treated ad cured through the application of magnets to the body of the patients. In this therapy medicine itself is considered irrelevant; no medicine is orally fed or externally applied to the body of the patient or injected in his system .One may call it a nature-cure, but a cure free from the intricate cumbersomeness of naturopathy. Magneto therapy is the simplest, cheapest ad entirely painless system of treatment with almost no side or after effects.The only tool of magneto therapy is the magnet. The ancients knew its healing properties, but later-probably during the dark ages- the knowledge was lost. The evolution of magneto therapy as a science of healing started from humble beginnings in the 16th century and the process of evolution is still continuing. Empirically the science has been going from strength to strength and the number of its believers and followers have been constantly increasing .A large number of physicians trained in other systems of medicines are coming to realize the advantages of magneto therapy and are running to it for succor in cases supposed to be incurable.This is an art of selection of magnets of different strength for different parts of the body in order to cure ailments of diverse nature. This type of treatment is fast gaining popularity in countries like France, Germany, Japan, U.S.S.R., U.S.A. & India. This technique of healing is based on the fundamental principle that the earth is one big magnet and that all our bodies are surrounded by magnetic waves emanating from the earth and other spatial bodies including the sun and moon. This natural magnetism influences and supports all forms of life. Legend has it that Cleopatra always wore a small magnet on her forehead to maintain her youth and beauty, and that in ancient times, men in love kept magnets with them to keep their beloved attracted to them ..!!
Other important principles underlying this System of Alternative Medicine are explained as under:Disease is caused by the imbalance between the various electro-magnetic forces present within our bodies.Strategic placement of magnets on specific parts of the body can cure chronic ailments that standard medicine might find difficult to control.Mutually opposite properties of the North and South Poles are used in Magneto-therapy. The use of only one pole on a diseased organ gives desired results only if diagnosis and selection of pole is correctly made.During the course of treatment the patient is made to sit or lie down on an insulating wooden chair or bed for best results.While the shape or size of the magnet does not matter, for sensitive organs like eyes, brain and heart, weak magnets are used for very short periods of time. For chronic ailments, strong magnets are required.Pregnant women should opt out of Magneto-therapy and all metallic objects that absorb magnetic waves should be taken off before the treatment can commence.In the treatment of skin diseases, a cloth should be used between the magnet and the skin.
