Magnet therapy has been around for thousands of years, as the ancient Chinese, Indians, Persians, Greeks, and Egyptians turned towards the power of magnets to ease their aches and pains.

Even in those days, the success of magnetic therapy was questioned. Just as today, two camps formed: those for magnetic therapy and those against the alternative type of therapy.

There are many theories regarding exactly how magnets work to alleviate aches and pains, there have been several studies that have shown that magnetic therapy has success over other forms of pain therapy.

In the treatment of eyes, the cooling and degenerationretarding waves of the south-seeking (or simply south) pole of a magnet are utilised.

The south pole of a magnet, when placed adjacent to (or in contact with) an eye, produces the following magnetic therapy:

(1) It relieves eye-strain and eye-pain by virtue of its cooling properties and thus refreshes the eye. This effect is useful in the prevention and control of visual errors and muscle-imbalances.

(2) It inhibits the activity of various micro-organisms (mainly bacteria) that may have happened to enter the eye. This effect is useful in the prevention and control of eyeinfections, especially those of the conjunctiva.

(3) It slows down degenerative processes occurring in the eye. This effect is useful in preventing or delaying eyedisorders of old age, like cataract.

Magnets can potentially cause problems for some individuals.

If you have an implanted defibrillator or a pacemaker, the presence of strong magnets could pose a problem.

Especially in the case of mattresses impregnated with large magnets, the magnetic field created could completely shut off the device that is so critical to the health of your heart.
