Magnetic health therapy has been gaining popularity over the past few years as a method of natural treatment for many common health problems, including chronic pain. Pulsed Magnetic Therapy is a specific kind of magnetic therapy that uses a system to transmit magnetic pulses into the body. Pulsating magnetic fields are beneficial to the body, especially in dealing with chronic pain, boosting the immune system, and helping with a number of other health problems.

Some of the health problems that magnetic therapy can help with are: Imbalances within the immune system (the immune system is vital in warding off illness), pain reduction (this includes chronic pain, sinus pain, migraines and headaches), relaxation (including physical tension, stress, and anxiety), and accelerated recovery from a variety of illnesses (flu viruses & colds).

It is believed by supporters of magnetic therapy that all things on earth are affected and controlled by magnetic resonance and waves. A disruption in nature’s magnetic fields is believed to be a factor in the cause of a number of our human health issues. This belief is the reasoning behind magnetic therapy. Health products that transmit magnetic waves cause the flow of a small amount of electrical current within cells of the treatment area. This stimulus is complementary to the natural electrical current flow within our body, and assists the body’s ability to fight off illness.

If you have ever used static magnetic therapy (bracelets, shoe inserts, mattress pads, etc) or pulsed magnetic therapy devices please let us know how your health has benefited.

Once, in a dream, I was trying to push my left hand into a glove, but I just couldn’t manage it. For some reason, I felt an urgency to do it to prevent some danger from befalling me. The right hand was easy; it slipped quickly into the glove, which looked and felt like a plush surgical glove. But when I attempted to pull its partner onto my left hand, it felt like my hand was crippled, with bent fingers. It just didn’t fit into the glove. I tried again, the urgency growing. My left hand felt more crippled and the glove felt more rugged and larger. I tried harder in a panic. Now my left hand felt paralyzed with closed fingers and the glove looked like a large garden glove. I woke up sweating. It didn’t take me long to realize that my right hand was twisted under my pillow, numb and painful under the weight of my head. Somehow, blood didn’t reach my fingers. In contrast, my left hand, which had been the source of my problems in my dream, was perfectly normal. I deliberated my pinched right hand, worked out the numbness with finger gymnastics, and was soon just fine. However, I started to wonder: why did my troubled right hand appear in my dream as my left hand? Could that be that dreams about ourselves present reflections, like mirrors? And if so, what does that teach us? How can that help? Read the rest of this entry »
