Magnetic Energy Therapy

Magnetic energy therapy involves placing magnets or magnetized objects on the body to facilitate healing and spiritual balance.

Types

• Magnetic energy therapy can incorporate the use of jewelry, belts, patches, blankets and shoe inserts.

Function

• Magnetic energy enters the body and corrects any electromagnetic impulse irregularities present within cells and tissues.

Benefits

• According to The American Cancer Society, participants claim magnetic energy therapy increases circulation, decreases inflammation and relieves pain. Extreme believers in this therapy method claim that it can cure cancer and heal broken bones.

Considerations

• No scientific proof backs up the beneficial effects of magnetic energy. Blind scientific studies do not give conclusive evidence, because participants can tell if they are wearing a magnet by placing a metal object, such as a paper clip, against the testing device.

Warning

• People with pacemakers or other medical implants may experience an adverse reaction when exposed to magnetic energy therapy. Consult a doctor before trying this alternative treatment.
