Magnetic therapy is a pseudoscientific practice of alternative medicine. It involves the application of a weak static magnetic field from a permanent magnet, which is applied to the body.
Some "experts" may convince you that this method:
☛ reduces the intensity of pain
☛ strengthens the walls of blood vessels;
☛ destroys fat deposits and the like;
Why does the scientific community not agree with the properties that some doctors attribute to this device?
Everything is very simple. In our body, the iron in the blood is bound to hemoglobin and is not ferromagnetic (it is a permanent type of magnetism that, for example, holds magnets on a refrigerator). According to scientists, if the blood was like that, then any procedure like magnetic resonance imaging carried a threat to health and life.
Moreover, static magnetic therapy remains scientifically unproven, especially for pain relief, which is one of its most common uses. Studies of static magnets show their ineffectiveness in chronic pain, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) published relevant data in 2022.
The US National Science Foundation is not happy with this invention either. Back in 2002, he recognized magnetic therapy as "pseudo-scientific". As a result, in the States, the sale of such magnetic devices is equated with quackery.
