Principles of magnetic products in design


Magnetic therapy belongs to physical treatment area, it refers to dosage of magnetic field in designing, different intensity magnet has different enfluences,it should that the designing of magnetic field not only be good for human body, but also without bring strong influences, it's not fact that the strong the magnetic field is, the better for human. Besides, through the research about magnetic field to human central nervous system we know a rule: lower magnetic field will increase human excitability, while stronger magnetic field will reduce it, this is restraining reaction. These are principles that we should follow in the designing of magnetic products.

Controversy On Magnetic Therapy


The practice of magnetic therapy as an alternative medication has led to the growth of an entire industry though there is no concrete evidence on the working and the effectiveness of this type of therapy. Still those who practice it, strongly believe that certain ailments can be treated if the patient is exposed to magnetic fields and at the same there is a strong resentment from the medical establishment and critics claim that most magnets don't have the strength to effect the various organs and tissues within the body and it is a product of Pseudoscience and is not based on proper research and analysis.

People who practice it strongly believe that certain ailments for instance problems with their backs or joints, sports injuries, muscle soreness and many other ailments with lots of anecdotal evidence can be treated if the patient is exposed to magnetic fields. Even In the United Kingdom the Health authorities and Doctors at Imperial College London administered intense magnetic pulse stimulation to people suffering from leg ulcers using magnetic wrap and to people suffering from partial damage to their spinal cord. These and several other recovery has lead to the manufacturing of different products ranging from bracelets to mattresses or blankets.

It is believed that magnetic therapy involves enlarging of blood vessels, thereby increasing the rate of circulation within your body. This is followed with the increase level of oxygen in your blood and that helps to flush out toxins that have accumulated in your body and the result is good health. Some people believe that magnets have the capacity to reduce negative energy in the body while others even believe that magnet encourage healthy tissue to generate minute electrical currents which provide a stimulus to promote the faster healing process.

The claim that magnets increase blood circulation that leads to healing and recovery of several ailments has become a controversial matter. It is said by the critics of magnetic therapy that if there were a significance increase in the circulation of blood then region of the skin under the magnet would become red. Tests involving measuring blood flow when an area of the body subjected to a high magnetic field also have found no increase in blood flow. All these studies points to the ineffectiveness of the magnetic therapy. Even it has been found and concluded after several research that magnetic insoles compared to the placebo insoles usually made of aluminum foil showed no significant benefit. Therefore it can be concluded that though magnetic therapy is currently considered to be an alternative medicine but lack of good controlled studies is working against the proponents of magnetic therapy.

7 Things You Didn't Know About Magnetic Therapy

If you've been considering magnetic therapy jewelry for any kind of pain, you may be confused by what you've seen advertised. You may also not be convinced that applying magnetic therapy for pain will work for you.

You may or may not be surprised to learn that if you're looking at magnets, you're not alone. The use of magnets worldwide is highly popular. In fact, it's been estimated that over 120 million people use magnets worldwide. But even so, you may not have been exposed to certain information about this treatment. Here are 7 things you probably didn't know about magnetic therapy for pain or other ailments.

1. It is a known fact that magnetic fields affect living tissue, despite some mistaken claims to the contrary. Certain types of mental illness are treated with pulsed magnetic fields. Researchers at Yale have shown that this treatment reduces the "voices" that schizophrenics hear in their heads.

2. For many years, Tibetan monks have used static magnets to relieve depression. We now know that pulsating magnetic fields can relieve severe depression. According to researchers, pulsed magnetic fields affect cells deep inside the brain. Many who wear magnetic jewelry claim a renewed sense of well-being.

3. Pulsed magnetic fields alter bones and tissue, and they are used to treat slow-healing fractures, knee pain, neck pain, and even muscle tears.

4. In Japan, studies have shown that static magnets help to relieve pain in the neck and shoulders. The Japanese have been using magnets for generations, and one out of every eight Japanese sleeps on a magnetic bed.

5. After a personal experience with magnets, Dr. Ronald Lawrence began doing studies on his patients. Dr. Lawrence used magnets to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. In a 22 patient study, 91 percent showed improvement when using magnets for carpal tunnel syndrome.

6. In 1999, researchers at New York Medical College discovered that magnets were effective on nine out of 10 diabetic patients with nerve pain. Since the results of those with the fake magnets were significantly worse, the researchers recommended magnets for all patients with nerve pain.

7. For many years, Vanderbilt neurologist Dr. Robert Holcombe used static magnets to relieve back pain. He said that the pain relief from magnets can be as effective as a shot of morphine.

As evidenced by studies from around the world, as well as anecdotal reports, magnetic therapy can help with many conditions. These conditions include high blood pressure, back pain, peripheral neuropathy, neck and shoulder pain, accelerated wound healing, and even reducing the side effects of chemotherapy.

The most popular application by far for magnetic therapy as a self-treatment is for pain relief, and magnets continue to gain popularity in the United States. As Dr. Dr. Michael Breen pointed out in an article in the Chicago Sun-Times in 2000, magnets are in wide spread usage in many cultures. This a testament to their effectiveness.
