The pharaohs of ancient Egypt used magnets to preserve youth & well-being, & so did the Romans (for eye diseases), Chinese (for swollen joints), & Japanese. Now, for the sake of our health, it's time to take a fresh look at an old therapy. Magnets can improve blood flow & digestion, relieve night cramps & other localized pain, help acupuncture work more effectively, enhance the success of both low- & high-tech remedies, & neutralize the imbalances in our systems caused by electrical appliances. Harness this invisible energy properly, choosing from the different types of magnet & knowing what effect each pole will have on the body: the north-seeking red (or yang) side will stimulate, while the other blue side will sedate or calm. Treat yourself during sleep, or simply by wearing certain kinds of jewelry, & find magnet medication for specific problems, from infections to broken bones to migraines. Illustrated charts show where to place the magnets, the location S of the meridians, & the cycle of energy flow. &, a surprise for gardeners: magnets will even make your flowers grow better! ...
