We already know that magnets can be very powerful. And they have been used for many years to help us in diagnosing the medical problems and in many industrial applications. There are many claims that the magnets work on the endorphins in the body. This helps in preventing pain, in that they work on certain glands aiding the release of certain hormones that helps healing. Our bodies are full of cells containing iron (particularly blood). In Magnet Therapy, the magnets through the attraction of iron, increases blood flow to an area and therefore healing is faster and pain relief is significantly reduced.
