Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 All I know about magnets is summed up in the following quote: "place the north pole of a small magnet on a point for stimulation or the south pole for sedation " Other methods of treating acupuncture points are:needles, temperature variation, massage (pressure, tapping, vibration), electricity, magnets, electromagnetism, radionics, polarity treatment, colored light, and sound Where can I find info on the application of magnets following acupuncture.Fore example, how long should they be worn, etc.thxDianne Post message: Chinese Traditional Medicine Subscribe: Chinese Traditional Medicine- Un: Chinese Traditional Medicine- List owner: Chinese Traditional Medicine-owner Shortcut URL to this page: /community/Chinese Traditional Medicine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 hmm.... looks like (the guy I heard this frrom) probably got them mixed up.. find yourself a ginuea pig and tell me what happens. - GDurst1774 Chinese Traditional Medicine Tuesday, April 24, 2001 3:42 AM Re: [Chinese Traditional Medicine] Acupuncture and Magnets In a message dated 04/23/2001 2:05:23 PM Pacific Daylight Time, leelieske writes:<< This is what I do know: place the north pole of a small magnet on a point for stimulation or the south pole for sedation. >>I'm confused.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Maybe this information from my physics class will be helpful - 1- Reportedly, the north pole has some of the following healing properties: -has an arresting effect on bacteria & growths -controls inflammatory conditions in joints -reduces congestion -has a sedating effect on nerve tissue & inhibits pain -slows down overactive organs -causes/increases alkaline reaction & reduces acidity -contracts the fluid; draws fluid -speeds up coagulation of blood & controls bleeding of wounds -dissolves the build up of fatty deposits in the veins & arteries is used for arthritis, bleeding, wounds, sores, boils, eczema, skin rashes, burns, infections, toothache, kidney infection, cancer, bladder complaints, stomach ailments. Use in all kind of inflammations that have redness, warmth & swelling. 2- Reportedly, the south pole has some of the following healing properties: -stimulates all forms of life, including bacteria -stimulates the organs in the energy field; increases activity -causes an acid reaction & increases acidity -expands, enlarges, softens & relaxes tissues -dilates blood vessels; vasodilates The south pole should be applied carefully. DO NOT USE on cancer or infections. 3- Recommendations for the correct therapeutic field strength are all over the ballpark & range from 200-5000 gauss. For south poles, some feel that the use of 850 gauss & under is safe & not harmful. For north poles, an exposure intensity of 2000-4000 gauss is recommended.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 I don't recall the source for this now, but I found it when I was looking into the possibility of using magnets on someone with epilepsy. Due to concern of it promoting seizures, I did not follow through on that idea. " Do not apply the positive magnetic pole unless under medical supervision. It can produce seizures, hallucinations, insomnia, hyperactivity, stimulate the growth of tumors and microorganisms, and promote addictive behavior.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 I want to thank everyone who responded with information about magnets. There is enough information in the various posts concerning properties, cautions and contraindications, the strength of the magnets and the duration of treatment, and best uses to help anyone who wants to experiement cautiously with this. I'm getting caught up, but there's still a lot for us to do with the home improvement projects. I finally hit upon the idea of creating a special folder called " answer " that I can forward messages to when I can't answer them right away or want to add something to after I do some research. This solves the problem of my missing some messages. Thanks again, Victoria >1- Reportedly, the north pole has some of the following healing properties: > -has an arresting effect on bacteria & growths > -controls inflammatory conditions in joints > -reduces congestion > -has a sedating effect on nerve tissue & inhibits pain > -slows down overactive organs > -causes/increases alkaline reaction & reduces acidity > -contracts the fluid; draws fluid > -speeds up coagulation of blood & controls bleeding of wounds > -dissolves the build up of fatty deposits in the veins & arteries > is used for arthritis, bleeding, wounds, sores, boils, eczema, skin >rashes, burns, infections, toothache, kidney infection, cancer, bladder >complaints, stomach ailments.
