How to Use Elekiban Magnets to Relieve Pain

The Japanese people have used magnet therapy to heal aching shoulders and muscles for centuries.

Elekiban (Erikiban) is the Japanese word for the small magnets placed in specific spots on the body to relieve aches and tension.

These popular PIP Elekiban magnetic therapy patches are available through Amazon.

The tiny elekiban (also spelled as erekiban, erikiban) magnets are adhered to round, Band-Aid-like patches. The magnetic beads stay on for as long as they cling to the body. Usually the Band-aid wears off and the little magnet becomes lost, most often in the shower.

Elekiban magnets come in various strengths depending on the need. Most magnets 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. Usually, the magnets are left on the sore areas for 3-5 days.

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

The effects of PIP magnetism are easily transmitted from the magnet to the body to help improve blood circulation, according to PIP, the major Elekiban manufacturer in Singapore.

The most popular Elekiban (Japanese pain therapy magnets) are mainly produced by a company called PIP Elekiban, Magneto-therapeutic device. These magnets are far superior than most and come in several strengths. In the United States, these therapeutic magnets can be ordered through Amazon (Elekiban).
