In a literature review from Acupuncture in Medicine published in the Database of Abstracts of Reviews and Effects, researchers found a selection of previously conducted studies that considered the use of acu-magnet therapies. Among the 42 studies included, 37, or 88%, reported beneficial therapeutic effects when this type of therapy was used.

The potential synergy between magnets and acupressure has captured the attention of medical experts. Magnets have the capacity to balance bio-energy in the body, making them fully compatible with every technique and therapeutic modality.

In acupressure, practitioners focus on specific points known as “acupoints”. This helps restore balance in the body’s energy pathways and alleviate various ailments.

When magnets are introduced to this ancient healing modality, the phenomenon is called “magnet therapy”. Magnets have gentle and natural effects.

Practitioners strategically place small magnets directly on the acupoints to rebalance and stimulate the body’s bio-energetic flow along its meridian lines. It can help bring forth the necessary therapeutic effects and bioenergetic balance.

Based on the results, applying therapeutic magnets could depolarize pain signals and block the pain. The magnetic field can affect the pain-transmitting nerve and slow down the pain signal. This makes magnet therapy a potential tool for pain management, while using high-strength magnets offered better pain reduction properties than low-strength magnets.

The active polarity can balance out meridian points that lack proper stimulation. Magnets then, provide extra bioenergy to a specific area. This, in turn, may reduce swelling, boost sleep, and calm the central nervous system.

Gary Null, Ph.D., known for his comprehensive investigations in the realm of magnet therapy, suggests that for magnets to provide the best results, they should be used alongside other healing modalities. Like deep tissue massage, therapeutic touch, and acupressure.

Every meridian point is directly linked with specific organs, body regions, and systems. They are intricately connected through neural pathways, explains Medical News Today.

Ensuring proper proximity between the magnet and the targeted meridian point guarantees that the radiating magnetic field can get to the desired treatment area.

With its innate ability to harmonize bioenergetic imbalances, magnet therapy, when used alongside acupressure, makes an excellent technique for holistic wellness.
