Magnetic Therapy

For years, the mainstream medical establishment’s response to pain has been to throw a pill at it. Patients seeking pain relief for a myriad of conditions ranging from arthritis to headaches, from sciatica to sore muscles, have tended to think that drugs are the solution.

Who Uses Magnetic Therapy?

Over the past 20 years, the ancient art of magnetic healing has been growing in popularity, to the stage where today, millions of people have successfully used magnet therapy for pain relief. Discover why so many people are using magnetic therapy - read what some of our very happy customers have to say.

The US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine quotes one recent US survey of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteo arthritis or fibromyalgia who were seen by rheumatologists. It reports that:

18 percent had used magnets or copper bracelets
An estimated US$5 billion a year is spent worldwide on using magnets to treat pain

Hardly a fringe therapy – and here in New Zealand alone, more than two hundred and fifty thousand
delighted customers have got a BioMag or Woolrest BioMag magnetic underlay on their beds.

Pretty impressive, in a country with a population of little more than four million. It’s a vote of confidence in a product that is easing people’s pain and giving them a better night’s sleep.

How Does Magnetic Therapy Work?

Despite countless success stories in recent years with magnotherapy, debate is still raging over exactly how it works. The general consensus is that the magnetic force stimulates nerve-endings to improve blood flow to injured or swollen joints, causing the blood vessels to dilate.

It does this by drawing trace elements, for instance, iron, towards the magnets. The human body contains about 5 grams of iron, much of it in the form of haemoglobin which plays a vital role moving oxygen from your lungs around your body.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?

The improvement in blood circulation eases the swelling around injured or deteriorated joints, or areas of inflammation, and thus is a perfect form of pain relief.

It relaxes the muscles too, so tension is decreased and the patient experiences an enhanced feeling of wellbeing.

A BioMag Magnetic Underlay or Woolrest BioMag magnetic underlay will also assist you to get a deeper, restorative sleep by having an effect on the pineal gland in your neck which helps stimulate the production of the hormone melatonin in your brain. We here at Woolrest BioMag call it the “feel good” hormone, and it helps you feel more relaxed, and get a better sleep.
