How does magnetic therapy work?

The human body is electromagnetic, being composed largely of charged particles such as atoms, electrons, protons, and ions (e.g. potassium, sodium, etc.). These all perform vital life functions.

When a magnet is placed on the body there may be a temporary increase in the magnetic force on the atoms composing the cells of his/her body in the area of the focal point. The force may results in a higher velocity of some of the orbiting electrons. This increase in velocity of some electrons and not others causes precession or wobble of an atom and a higher charge on the valence electrons. Combined, the higher velocity and increased charge, leads to enhanced electron transfer. Electron transfer is the basic action in all chemical reactions in the body.

So, the magnet may act as a catalyst to improve chemical reactions occurring in the human body. This possibly improves a variety of body functions in the area under the magnet, such as oxygen carrying capacity, assimilation of nutrients, manufacture of enzymes, metabolic waste removal, reduction of free radicals, tissue regeneration, and most importantly healing. The rate of healing may be accelerated to be much faster than the typical healing rate of the human body.
