The power of magnets extends beyond their traditional uses into health and wellness, specifically biomagnetic therapy. This alternative healing approach, rooted in centuries-old practices, alleviates chronic body pains, aching backs, and symptoms of osteoarthritis. By strategically applying magnets of varying sizes and strengths onto specific body areas, particularly acupressure points, biomagnetic therapy treats pain and enhances overall well-being.
What is biomagnetic therapy and how is it used in hot tubs?
Physical therapy may not be the first thing you think about when it comes to magnets if you are unfamiliar with biomagnetic therapy. But magnets have a history of helping alleviate aches, pains, and soreness that goes back hundreds of years. Many alternative medical practitioners swear by them. While magnets are not a cure for the disease, they provide an excellent benefit at symptom remission for bad backs, chronic body pains, and osteoarthritis.
Biomagnetic therapy works by positioning magnets of specific sizes and strengths on the parts of the body where the subject feels aches and pains. Strategically placing the magnets at acupressure points enhances the health benefits.
What is the theory behind this practice?
Biomagnetic therapy proponents believe that people must maintain a balance of electromagnetic fields in their bodies for optimal health. When this balance is upset, pain, low energy, and less vitality may result. For example, if you have an aching back, it may indicate that the electromagnetic fields in your body have become misaligned. Office workers who spend long hours on computers often bend, contort, and overuse back muscles in a way that causes them stress and, eventually, pain and stiffness. Part of the problem is that poor posture can upset the electromagnetic balance, resulting in pain and disability.
Aquatic biomagnetic therapy combines water and electromagnetic therapy to soothe those aching muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other parts of the human body prone to stress. Many other types of biomagnetic therapies exist, such as magnetic- bracelets, jewelry, wrist and ankle straps, mattress pads, and magnetic blankets.
What Are the Benefits of Biomagnetic Therapy?
Biomagnetic therapy provides specific health benefits. While not a cure for medical conditions, its effects can help mitigate symptoms while increasing overall health and vitality. Some of the core benefits include the following:
Increasing Circulation
Healthy circulation is important for maintaining high energy levels, preventing or curing injuries, and ameliorating pain from issues like arthritis. The muscles, tendons, and other body parts need the nutrients delivered in the blood to function optimally, recover, and heal. Magnetic fields stimulate the ions in the blood, helping to deliver more oxygen to the cells, which promotes healing and counters inflammation.
Pain Relief
Biomagnetic and aquatic therapies provide wonderful pain relief by increasing flexibility, promoting circulation, and relaxing tired, overworked muscles. Biomagnetic therapy also interferes with transmitting pain signals from the nervous system, offering lasting pain relief.
Improve Cellular Function
Proponents of biomagnetic therapy point to its positive influence on cell function. For example, they believe that magnetic fields influence ion channels within cells to improve their flow and function.
Balance Body’s Magnetic Field
Each cell within the human body produces a small quantum of magnetic energy. When this energy is out of balance, it diminishes bodily processes. Magnetic therapy keeps this magnetic energy flow well-regulated.
