MagnoTherapy


This is the technique of applying a magnetic field to the body in order to help relieve pain and accelerate the natural healing process. The principle behind this technique is that the magnetic energy speeds up the blood supply thus allowing more oxygen to enter the blood stream which helps nutrients become absorbed.Popular products include magnetic bracelets which are worn to help with conditions such as arthritis, joint pain and poor circulation. Experiments have also been done with drinking magnetically treated water on plants and animals
