Magnetic therapy to help promote healing

The theory that magnetic fields can change actions in the body is supported by many who have used magnets as a way to relieve pain, historical use in Eastern medicine and scientific research.

Studies have demonstrated that magnets may be an effective therapy for the relief of pain.  Additionally, it is believed that magnetic fields applied to an injured area improve blood flow and oxygen exchange to enhance the body's natural healing process.

Japanese people use magnet therapy to heal aching shoulders. They prefer the tiny elekiban (erekiban, erikiban) magnets adhered to round, Band-aid-like patches. The magnets stay on for as long as they cling to the body. Usualy the Band-aid wears off and the little magnet becomes lost.

Elekiban come in various strength depending on the need. Most products can be used to achieve similar results,. But, the theory is that the stronger the magnet, the more effect the result.

Multiple magnets can be joined together to achieve maximum results.

Placement of the magnetic beads depends on where the pain is found. Often, the magnets are placed right on top of the sore spot. The Chakrahs are common spots for generalized areas.

New magnetic therapy gadgets

The health device industry has created dozens of products that incorporate magnetic therapy using magnets in a variety of healing ways.

Neck magnet massagers and magnetic bracelets provice relief to specific spots. There are arm, back and knee wraps with embedded magnets that don't get lost like the Bandages.

Make your own Elekiban

Any Elekiban (Japanese pain therapy magnets) will be difficult to find in stock due to the interuption of the supply from Japan. An alternative is to make them yourself.

Order the strength of small magnets you need from Amazon, for example, and use a regular bandage to hold it in place. The cost is much less than importing erekiban and can be much stronger
