his is a system in which ailments are treated and cured through application of magnets to the body. There is continuous influence of celestial magnetism on lower and higher forms of life. Human body is also affected by natural magnetism. Every cell works as a magnetic unit. Every cell also works as a micromagnet. So, different organs have different powers of magnetic field depending on their biological activity. Magneto therapy works on the natural laws of magnet. It effects the whole body by effecting magnetic equilibrium between various organs and their functions. Magnet therapy is a supplement to other forms of treatment. Therefore, do not stop these medicines to apply magnet. Individual susceptibility is an important factor. Some may have sensations like waves passing through them or sensation of heat etc. Some resistant people need not have any sensations. Normally one sitting per day is enough, sometimes in severe cases two sittings. Electro-magnetic chairs have stronger magnetic fields. Do not sit on these chairs for more than 10 minutes. However small magnets, like magnetic necklace, bangles etc can be tied to the part (wristchains, wrist bands etc).

• Some precautions while using magnet therapy:Do not take cold things just before, during or immediately after treatment. Avoid cold water bath for one hour after magnet therapy.
• Do not apply magnet after a full meal, wait for two hours.
• Do not use powerful magnets on delicate organs like eyes, brain or heart. Maximum duration should be 10 minutes on these areas.
• Pregnant women should not be subjected to strong magnets.
• Magnetised water can be taken 50 ml twice or thrice daily but not more often.
• Do not get your fingers crushed between the forceful clamping of opposite poles.
• Keep magnets properly after use; do not allow them to fall on the ground.
• Do not bring magnets close to other electro-medical equipments like ECG, X-Ray, etc.
• High humidity and rain can spoil magnets. So keep them in warm and dry places.
• First application should always be done by experienced therapist only, and do not do self healing.
