What is magnet Therapy??

MAGNETIC THERAPY

Magnetic therapy is a system based on the idea that our bodies form an electro-magnetic field that respond to the healing power of magnets. Find out more below :

The concept that something as simple as a magnet may help relieve pain and discomfort is perhaps difficult to accept. Nevertheless, several scientific studies support the use of magnets in the treatment of medical conditions. There are countless reports of people who have found magnet therapy has relieved a variety of conditions, including arthritis, menstrual cramps, headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome.It is not known for sure how magnets work. It is thought that magnets may rebalance the body’s energy, thereby restoring health and relieving pain. There is also some evidence that magnets may improve blood flow, helping with the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body’s tissues.

Don't resist the pull.

BMT International is a company that promotes health products and carries a range of magnetic bracelets. The company has currently sold more than 2,000 bracelets in the market. Style speaks to BMT International director Mardiah Jamel (left) to find out more.

What’s the history behind magnetic therapy?

For thousands of years, Chinese, Egyptians, Arabs, Greeks, Romans and Indians have used magnets to heal. Ancient Greece discovered the very first natural magnet in the form of the lodestone and Hippocrates, the father of medicine, noted its healing powers.The Egyptians, too, described the divine powers of the magnet in their writings and Cleopatra frequently adorned herself with magnetic jewellery to preserve her youth. Chinese manuscripts dating back thousands of years described the eastern belief that the life force termed Qi was generated by the earth’s magnetic field. Today, magnetic therapy is well established in many countries such as Japan, China, India, US and Germany.

How do magnetic bracelets work?

The magnetics theory revolves around the premise that magnets improve the circulatory system and blood flow. The increased circulation gives the body more of nutrients it needs in the blood, improving health naturally.

What goes into a BMT magnetic bracelet?

Neodymium biomagnets, which are derived from the earth, hold their charge indefinitely, with no significant loss of power after 10 years. At first their cost is prohibitive but now they are very economical. The magnets are combined with titanium, because titanium is as strong as steel, but is 45 per cent lighter.

Due to its strength, lightness, extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, titanium grade II industrial metal is used to make BMT bracelets. It’s better than metals like copper, silver or bronze which sometimes tend to discolor the skin and cause allergic reactions. We use a special glue that doesn’t cause any irritation to the skin to bind them together. does the effectiveness of the bracelet vary

According to size or design?

Even though the sizes and shapes of the bracelet vary, the effectiveness remains the same as the neodymium magnets in each bracelet are around 2,000 gauss. [Gauss is a unit of measurement of magnetic field and is named after mathematician, physics and magnetic researcher Karl F. Gauss].

Any side effects?

Magnetic therapy is very safe. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed that static magnetic fields pose no health risks at all. No complications have ever been reported with its proper use.Who should not use magnetic bracelets?Magnetic bracelets should not be used if you are wearing a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or any other electro-medical device. Do not wear a magnetic bracelet during pregnancy.
