Pain Relief

According to the Pain Relief Foundation website they "estimate that the number of people with chronic pain vary from 8% to 45% depending on severity and whether medical help is sought. Chronic pain is more common in women and in the elderly."

Many types of chronic pain exist, including Arthritis, Back Pain, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Multiple Sclerosis, Neck Pain, Sciatica, Shingles, Sports Injuries, etc..

Arthritis - The use of a Magniwool product can significantly help towards overcoming the pain you experience as a result of arthritis.

Magniwool underblankets have been specifically designed with magnets that stimulate the nerve endings of the body and thus improve blood flow. This improved blood flow targets all those areas where arthritis is usually experienced, such as swollen or stiff joints across the body and gradually eases the pain experienced.

"Although I have ME and Arthritis, I am now able to sleep soundly and my whole body feels much better. It is such a relief to sink into my comfy bed. As I mentioned on the telephone, I have not had to go to my Osteopath for a number of months now- thank you for introducing me to your wonderful Magniwool underblanket and cushions"
Mrs Pennefather, Hampshire

Back Pain - Back Pain is one of the most common ailments experienced by nearly everyone at some point in our lives, whether it be located in the Thoracic, Lumbar or Pelvic areas. On occasions it is the constant dull ache, but sometimes it is the sharp and sudden pain that leaves us with the difficulty of walking, standing up or simply getting out of bed! Back pain sufferers usually say that pain can last from a few days to several weeks, with the most acute issues lasting for months at a time.

In addition to traditional pain relief methods from the pharmacist or via massage therapy, a Magniwool underblanket or cushion can help with most sufferers. The magnets sewn into the underblankets and cushions can help to reduce the pain and swelling in key areas affected and allow a better nights sleep and improved feeling when standing up!

"I just wanted to write and say how quite amazing the underblanket is. We put it on the bed at once so it is nearly three weeks now and Peter is convinced it is helping him with his poor back. I don't have any aches or pains but I do find that I don't stay awake for hours when disturbed in the night- we just love the feel, it's like climbing into a cloud!"
G W Stroud, Gloucestershire

Headaches - Headaches are one of the most common forms of pain experienced by nearly all of us at some time or another. Those who experience more troublesome headaches will probably have suffered from one of the following.

- Migraines : a throbbing pain that can also bring on blurred vision and even sickness. Some key influences of migraines are, stress, bright lights and particular foods such as chocolate or red wine.

- Tension Headaches : a tightness around the head with the feeling of the head being squeezed / pressed resulting in the person finding it difficult to undertake anything until the headache subsides.

- Cluster Headaches : usually where an intense and excruciating pain is felt on one side of the head and thus located in one area only. The grouping of the pain can also render the recipient under such strain that it is difficult to do anything else.

All of these common forms of Headaches can be alleviated by a Magniwool product where the strategically placed magnets sewn into the range of Magniwool products aids the blood flow around the body and thus can stem both the frequency and severity of chronic headaches.

"So far, so good, there has been a great improvement in my husband's headaches which is absolutely great and we are sleeping really well"
L M, Gloucestershire

Sciatica - Sciatica is a painful condition that is caused through pressure on the sciatic nerve that branches off the spinal cord and runs all the way down to through the legs and ankles to the feet.

As the sciatic nerve can become inflamed and irritated through pressure and exertion, from obesity or poor posture amongst many other causes, it is the relief of this inflammation that a Magniwool blanket can help with.

Through the use of a Magniwool blanket the magnets present in the blanket help to reduce the amount of pain experienced as a result of the inflammation and thus lead to an improved nights sleep and an improved life.

"Your 60 day money back guarantee is a brilliant strategy for something which is quite expensive and a "bit on the edge". So often when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. But not in your case! My Magniwool has revitalised my life. I had begun to feel that being over 70 it was downhill all the way but I now fall asleep within minutes, sleep for six or seven, sometimes eight unbroken hours. My aches and pains are much improved and, if I am stiff after gardening, no longer take Ibruprofen as a night's sleep on the blanket solves it"

Magnetic pull - 20 February 2005
Magnet therapy is the latest of the ancient healing arts to gain in popularity. By Joan Krzys

According to those in the know, more people are using magnets to heal chronic illnesses. By placing a tiny magnet at a strategic point on their body, many have found that the condition rights itself or is greatly relieved. Magnets, it seems, cause an immediate increase in blood circulation in the area they are placed, and this can speed overall healing by 50 per cent.

Magnet therapy is the latest of the ancient healing arts to gain in popularity, and is being hailed as a completely natural healing tool which is highly effective and which has no adverse side-effects. Scientists around the world are now intensively researching the therapy, and magnets are being used to treat complaints as diverse as head colds and rheumatism. Magnets are also being used to relieve pain, increase metabolic activity and reduce stress and even nervous problems.

More recently, doctors at Imperial College, London have found that magnet therapy may help people with spinal cord injuries. An electromagnet was placed on the scalp of people with partial damage to their spinal cord. It generated brief magnetic pulses that stimulated the part of the brain called the cerebral cortex. This, in turn, led to improved muscles and limb movement, and increased ability to feel sensations.

Mysterious leanings
Kenyan-born Bhati Vyas the celebrated alternative therapist who helped pioneer the magnetic approach, and whose clients at her clinic in Mayfair, London include Cherie Blair, Mariah Carey, Ralph Fiennes, Belinda Carlisle and Sophie Dahl says: It started in India and dates back at least 3000 years.
"The red dot that some Indian women wear on their foreheads was originally made with a small amount of magnetic powder. The idea was that you placed the dot on an important nerve point between the eyes, and it worked to calm down the brain and keep you beautiful because it reduced stress and tension."
Magnet therapy, she says, works mainly at the prevention level because anything magnetic is immediately attracted to iron a major constituent of red blood corpuscles.
The first things magnets do is to start working on the circulatory system. They have the effect of refining the blood and, when you do this, the whole system can start speeding up, and disposing of waste and toxic matter.
"Very many chronic health problems are due to a sluggish circulation. Magnets act to remove sluggishness so that you soon start to feel better. Some diabetics using magnet therapy have found they could halve their insulin intake."
Researchers have found that you can give ordinary water therapeutic qualities by magnetising it. Says Bhati, for this, you just put a small magnet each side of a bottle of water, leave it for about 15 hours, then drink it. Drinking magnetised water helps with constipation and cellulite both indications of a sluggish circulation.

Scientists at the University of Tubingen, Germany, are helping tinnitus sufferers by jamming the brain’s electrical activity with high-frequency magnetic therapy.
Of 14 patients who had suffered with chronic tinnitus for at least a year, eight had measurable tinnitus relief, ranging from slight to complete suppression of the constant ringing sound in the ears.

As magnets have both a North and a South pole, they can be used either for revitalising or relaxation. Some doctors prefer only North pole, whereas others prefer South pole for treatment.
In his book The Anatomy Of Bio-Magnetism, the late American Dr Albert Roy Davis (often called the grandfather of healing magnetism) revealed that North and South poles of magnets emit different energies.
The North, he said, was most helpful in, among other things, arthritis, broken bones, burns, some cancers, kidney infection, teeth and gums, and toothache. The South, on the other hand, seemed to work best on all kinds of pains, prostate enlargement, poor digestion and weak muscles. But he pointed out that combinations of both North and South pole magnets give good results as well, although for local applications a single pole magnet is sufficient. In general applications, it is better to use both.

Among the well-known magnet therapy devotees are Bill Clinton, Anthony Hopkins and up-and-coming actress Naomi Harris, who is appearing alongside Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek and Woody Harrelson in After the Sunset.
The 27-year-old actress suffers from more acute period pain than most women because she has a condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome. I knew that unless I found a way of dealing with my periods, I couldn’t meet the growing number of gruelling film schedules that were being offered, she says.
It was suggested I try a magnet, so I did. It’s about the size of a small coin and it clips on to my underwear to sit over the uterus. I was very doubtful because there was no way I could see how lumps of metal could possibly cure such a medical condition."

Pain, pain go away...
I started using it during the middle of a particularly painful period and found that within a few days the pain simply disappeared.
It was like a miracle. Now I don’t have to turn down marvelous roles that are being offered.

Doctors are quick to point out that magnets themselves don’t heal anything they simply stimulate the body to heal itself. As one doctor put it, Magnetism is a natural event. It is neither magic nor medicine. It merely allows body cells to exist at their best level.
"In recent years, developments in healing through magnetic therapies have increased dramatically. They have become an overnight attraction in the medical world. Their powerful effect in banishing pain from thousands of patients is being hailed as a major breakthrough. Their use is no longer being sneered at by medical experts."

Magnets have long been recognised therapeutic tools in the equine industry and now there are many magnetic therapy products for people everything from magnetic sleep pads (to help cure insomnia), to individual magnets (clip-on or to be worn with straps) for placement on injuries and conditions of all sorts.

The human body is endowed with natural healing powers. As Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine once said: Nature cures; not the physician.
And now, as more and more are discovering, magnifying that healing energy with magnets applied to the injured area, can greatly boost the body’s natural healing powers.
