Magnetic Therapy - Fact Or Fiction? mens magnetic bracelets and magnetic therapy

mens magnetic bracelets and magnetic therapy.Magnetic therapy is often regarded as one of the health practices that is one sided- many either disbelieve in it entirely or believe it is real from ‘experience’. It has been said that magnets could be used in therapy to treat broken bones and depressions, although there is no firm medical evidence for this.

A process called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, has been used to treat mental disorders such as depression. Many have seen the ads on television about the magnetic bracelets that ‘increases blood flow, cures arthritis pains, and relaxes muscles’. The only evidence that this is true is a single experiment done in 2004, which proved it could help osteoarthritis in the hip and knee.mens magnetic bracelets and magnetic therapy.

Many see the process like acupuncture- not a direct treatment, but something to ‘help’ the body along. The magnetic bracelets sold most likely don’t work, for it is the magnetic field in general that does the healing, not the magnet. If you are serious about trying the process, consult someone such as an acupuncturist to tell you more about it- not the people in the local health shop.
