Among the many new age therapies that are available are those using magnetism to align the magnetic field of the body with a view to improved health or the treatment of pain and other symptoms.
Most magnetic therapy approaches use beds by adding either/or a mattress, topper or pillow impregnated with lots of tiny magnets that create a magnetic filed around anyone lying on them.
How effective this magnetic therapy approach can be is questionable and there is no real evidence to back up any of the claims that are centred around it. That said there are a lot of magnetic mattress toppers out there, so either the marketing is very good, or a lot of people believe that they can make a difference.
Most mattress products that use magnets have a large number of very small circular magnets embedded in to their padding that make it impossible top discern that the mattress or topper is anything other than a conventional one. These magnets cannot be felt and so they do not interfere with sleep in a direct way.
What they are supposed to do is align the magnetic field of the body and this in turn is supposed to be healthy.
The result can be (or is claimed to be) proactive to good health, capable of alleviating certain types of pain like arthritis and good for blood circulation.
Other therapy beds include those that give massages and provide heat therapy. Some can even work like a remote chiropractor!
