Magnetized Oils

Oil can be magnetized in an approximately similar fashion as of magnetization of water with the exception that the oils need a longer duration of exposure to magnets in order to assimilate the beneficial properties of the latter.

Oils are prepared either on the North Pole or the South Pole and hence are of two types only. Mixed oil is not used as the oils are used as for external application only. The use of blue and red oils in naturopathy are designated as such `cause these are prepared in blue or red bottles and exposed to sunlight for a minimum of 21 days to imbibe cooling or heating properties of the sun`s radiation passing through particular colors. These oils are used against a number of infections like boils, fever, headache and rheumatic pains.

Following a similar principle, the magneto therapists utilize the natural potency of magnetism, which has made it possible to use the immense healing properties of the oils.

North Pole Oil:
To obtain North-pole oil:

Take a colorless, clean glass bottle (preferably round in shape). Fill it with coconut or til (sesame) oil. Cork it properly and keep it over the north pole of a strong magnet for 15 days. During this period, shake the bottle occasionally to help the oil absorb the magnetic emanations uniformly. After the above period, remove the bottle, shake it well and label it as `North-pole Oil` and keep it in a cool place away from the sun. The north-pole oil is highly useful in painful infections, which arise as a result of eczema, infectious Wounds and cuts and boils. South-Pole oil: South Pole oil is prepared in the same way as that of the north-pole oil except that the bottle filled with any of the two oils mentioned under the north-pole oil should be kept over the south pole of a strong magnet for 15 days. Prepare the oil and label it `South-pole Oil`. South-pole oil is highly effective in non-infectious affections like sciatica, cervical spondylitis, arthritis, lumbago, painful inflammations and sprains and strains. Method of Applying Magnetized Oil: Although Magnetized oils can be used independently; they are generally used during magnetic treatment, as in the case of cure for whooping cough and pneumonia. Before applying the oil, clean the infected portion properly and lightly rub the north or South Pole oil over it. A piece of cloth or napkin is placed over the oiled portion. Then the magnet is placed accordingly. Magnetization of Other Substances: Fluids other than water can also be magnetized for treatment. Consumable products like milk, beer and wine can be magnetized with similar types of magnets. The duration of exposure of these substances may be restricted to an hour or so as these are consumed in large quantities. Other substances like rose water can also be magnetized for about 12 hours, and can be used as eye drops in infections such as conjunctivitis, sore eyes and ophthalmia. Glycerin can also be magnetized with the South Pole to use for either as throat pain or against fissures, chaps and cracks of the skin. Many homeopathic physicians in India magnetize various homoeopathic ointments and mother tinctures based on the firm belief that such treated ointments are more effective and have a better penetrating power in several skin conditions. Substances used for cosmetic purposes such as shampoos are also often magnetized for treatment against dandruff and hair fall. Hair oils can also undergo magnetization process for improved growth and lustre of hair. Mouth washes; Eardrops, and skin oil are some instances of innumerable possibilities of using magnets and hence better products.

Magnet Therapy

A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. There is a simple way to detect a magnetic field by scattering iron filings and observe their pattern. Magnetism is a common term in the fields of physics, industry and commerce.

A `hard` or `permanent` magnet is one that stays magnetized and a `soft` or `impermanent` magnet is one that loses its memory of previous magnetizations. The remarkable effects of magnet on certain metals as well as on living organisms are known for centuries. Magnet is also highly beneficial with its clinical impact on human ailments, which is a comparatively recent development and is not yet widely known. The magnet is known by various names in different languages. The original iron-ore, which possessed the attracting power and was natural magnet, was named `Magnetite`. It was also known as `loadstone` or `lodestone`. The word loadstone was derived from the word `load` used in old English, which among other things, meant course, journey, etc., conveying the idea of direction. The term `Magnetis` or `Magnesetos` (meaning stone) was used by the Greeks for magnet and the French known it by the name `Aimant` (meaning magnet and loving).

In Hindi magnet is known as `Chumbak` (kissing stone) and in Urdu and Persian it is called `Maqnatees`. The Chinese call it by the term `Chu Shr` (meaning loving stone). According to the gemologists, the magnet is considered to be one of the several precious gems, which are advised to be worn for various purposes. It is worn mainly for maintenance of health, for peace of mind and for general prosperity. Hence, it is also called a `gem`.

The celebrities wear magnets for the purpose of maintaining vigorous health and to stop ageing of their bodies. It is said that Cleopatra, the extremely beautiful daughter of the king of Egypt, Ptolemy Aulete used to wear a magnet on her forehead to maintain her beauty.

Magnet was also used as a good luck charm and also to get relief from headaches. Common people believe in the divine force of the magnet. As per one of the philosopher-scientist `a magnet has a soul because it moved iron`. It seems that a magnet cannot have life, yet the intelligence of its poles to recognize friendship or hatred of the poles of another magnet and to attract or repel it accordingly, remains unexplained even today.

The medical use of magnet in the recovery of certain diseases is proved now. It has the power of drawing pain out of the body, relieving stiffness of joints and muscles and of removing toothache immediately. The long time use of magnet reduces weight in obesity, increases height of short-statured boys and girls and also increases intelligence and wisdom. The magnet also corrects blood pressure and provides immunity against certain diseases of human body by increasing the vitalising secretions.

Magnetic Therapy

Magnetic Therapy is a science as well as an art, postulating knowledge of human organisms and the expertise to cure through the appropriate application of magnets. This alternative branch of medicine, also known as Magnet therapy, Bio magnet therapy, or Magnotherapy, is evidently, far-reaching in terms of possibilities in physical as well as mental disorder treatment through exposure to the magnetic fields.


Magnets designed specifically for human applications contain the power to interact with the energy system of the body, in order to create a distinct field for efficient cellular and hence organic activities. Be it localised or generalized application of magnets, the outcome tends to be visible on the basic functioning of cells, and is thereby reasoned to be effective. Two theories are used to elucidate the Magnetic Therapy.

The history of Magnetic therapy depicts that this particular therapy possesses an ancient heritage and has occupied a central role in the medicinal practices of Egypt, India and Greece. Until recently the scientific explanation of magnetic action was not available. Magnetic therapy utilizes the natural energy of magnetism that is important to human existence and overall health. Magnetic therapy is widely used in the sections of alternative medicines since the ancient times in India when the latest ways of treatment were not available. In some ancient scriptures of India, the mention of Magnet therapy was found. In Atharva Veda, there was the mention of Magnet therapy as the practitioners of Ayurveda suggested it as the best way to alleviate pains and rejuvenate the body and mind.

The primary theory asserts that, magnets affect the electrical current in cells. When magnets are functional on the afflictive region of the body, the nerves in that area stimulate, thus discharging the body`s innate painkillers. This is responsible for the application of magnets for pain relief.

According to the secondary, but equally relevant magnetic therapy theory, when magnets are applied to a painful area of the body, the cells in that area respond to increased blood circulation, ion exchange, and oxygen flow to the area. Magnetic fields attract and repel charged particles in the bloodstream, thus increasing blood flow and producing heat. Increased oxygen in the tissues and blood stream is considered to create a significant difference in the pace of healing.

This branch, although widely popular and widespread in the modern world, is subject to incessant scrutiny, observations, experimentation, ardent followership and skepticism. Magnet therapy has ventured into the fields of physical disorders like cancer treatment, and mental disorders like depression, where path-breaking research continues till date.

All sciences require to be mastered in order to harness them for the benefit of mankind; and the science of magnetic healing is no exception to the rule. Although sheer skepticism and faith in healing go hand in hand, millions of people are yet continuing the experiments with the science on a personal level, with the aid magnotherapists and extensively available commercial magnetic products.

Magnetic therapy is a safe, non-invasive method of applying magnetic fields to the body for therapeutic purposes. It accelerates the natural healing process, provides natural pain relief, relief from arthritis-induced pain and betters sleep, without any adverse side- effects. It has elevated hopes; even where advanced drug therapies have failed.

The results of Magnetic therapy vary from person to person depending on the quality of Magnets used, duration of use and the mode of application. Magnetic therapy would be ineffective, if not followed appropriately. The astonishing pain relief and calming effect it provides, has by and large, facilitated in boosting its popularity to greater extent.

The modern science reciprocate that Magnet therapy is effective in all kind of diseases including circulatory, digestive, nervous, respiratory and urinogenital systems and can be beneficial in all types of pain, swelling, inflammation, ulcers and diseases of the bowels and the uterus. Since the modern science has accepted the efficacy of magnet in treating diseases that causes pain and bring proper alleviation, this very ancient Magnet therapy has been admitted and included into the list of modern treating technologies. Magnetic therapy is used to treat headaches and migraines, insomnia, muscle and joint pain, varicose veins and other ailments of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems.

It has been observed that when an area of the body is injured, positive ions flood the area, causing pain and swelling. Magnetic therapy causes the positive ions to flee the affected area and allows the body to return to its normal negative state. This allows an increase in circulation and oxygen flow to the injured area, thus promoting the benefits of natural healing. Treating with magnetic therapy privileges the patients to get proper healing without the use of traditional medication and promotion of natural body function. Though magnetic therapy is useful in almost all diseases related to skin, pain and inflammation, blood pressure, back muscle pain or sprained knee, carpel tunnel syndrome in the wrist, sinus inflammation and even headaches, hair and other diseases, it takes a considerable amount of time to cure depending on the severity of the disease. This therapy not only pertains to human beings, but to animals as well. As a matter of fact, several rodeo horses undergo magnetic effects for their superlative performance. Hence, such is the impact and scope of Magnetic therapy these days.

As magnetic therapy is applied and used in almost all over the world, some jewellery professionals are keen in creating ornaments and different devices like wristlet, chains, necklace, back belts, ace bandages or athletic support bandages worn on the back, knee or elbow which are designed with special magnets to delivery proper magnetic therapy to the injured part of the body.
