How to Use Magnets for Activation

The natural healing power of magnets comes in many forms: powerful, magnetic therapy wraps used for supporting an entire ankle joint; or an elegant, magnetic bracelet, worn to aid problems in the wrist and hand. Magnet therapy claims to activate the blood and increase its flow in the specific areas of the body where magnets are placed. Increased blood flow heals damaged tissues and allows for waste product to be removed.

  Magnet therapy mattress pads cost between about $150 and $600.

  Insert magnet therapy into a daily schedule. If the application of magnets to an injury or pain area involves lying down, set aside time in the early morning or just before going to sleep. For a full-body therapy approach while sleeping, magnetic mattress pads are available.

  Wear wraps throughout the day underneath clothing to activate the healing process in pain and injury areas.
