What is magnetotherapy?
Magnetic therapy, also known as magnet therapy, is a form of alternative medicine. It uses magnets for therapeutic purposes to provide natural, safe and non-invasive benefits. This practice helps to relieve pain and reduces the need for allopathic painkillers.

Magnetic therapy isn't magic, it's logic
Although magnetotherapy is recognised in Japan by the Ministry of Health and used in the country's hospitals, it is not yet recognised as official medicine in France. However, it is integrated into naturopathy, aimed at balancing body and mind. Many health professionals, such as doctors, rheumatologists, physiotherapists and osteopaths, are enthusiastic about it.
What types of magnets are used in magnet therapy?
Magnetic therapy uses bipolar permanent magnets (one side North and one side South), with one side North and one side South, to create a stable, continuous magnetic field that provokes natural, beneficial physiological reactions. By placing several magnets around the pain and reversing the poles, a wider magnetic field is created, increasing effectiveness and in-depth action.
How does magnetotherapy work?
The effectiveness of therapeutic magnets is based on two main actions:
1. Increased blood flow to the painful area:
- Supply of nutrients to the cells: Magnets stimulate blood circulation, resulting in a better supply of essential nutrients to the cells.
- Oxygenation of cells: By encouraging increased blood flow, cells receive more oxygen, which is crucial to their optimal functioning and regeneration.
- Elimination of cellular waste: Improved blood flow helps to eliminate metabolic waste from cells more effectively, contributing to detoxification and overall tissue health.
2. Message to the brain :
- Natural secretion of hormones (melatonin, ATP, etc.): Magnets can influence the natural production of hormones such as melatonin, which regulates sleep, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides energy to cells.
- Reducing the pain message: Magnets reduce the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thereby reducing the perception of pain.
These combined actions have several beneficial effects:
- Analgesic effects: By reducing pain signals and promoting the production of endorphins, magnets provide significant pain relief.
- Anti-inflammatory effects: By improving blood circulation and reducing pain, magnets help to reduce inflammation in the affected tissues.
- Muscle relaxation: The action of magnets on circulation and hormones promotes deep muscle relaxation and a general feeling of well-being.
In this way, magnet therapy offers a natural, non-invasive approach to relieving pain, reducing inflammation and improving general well-being.
The benefits of magnet therapy
Magnets can be used throughout the body, applied locally or via acupuncture points. Their benefits are numerous and relate to various aspects of health.
Pain relief:
Whether muscular (aches and pains, sprains, cramps, etc.), joint (lower back pain, sciatica, fractures, neck pain, tendonitis), rheumatic (osteoarthritis, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.) or migraine (headaches, ophthalmic migraines, etc.) pain can be relieved by therapeutic magnets. This reduces the need for painkillers, remobilises the injured area and improves recovery.
Applications for pain relief: Loose-fitting magnets (adhesives) and magneto-active textiles (orthoses incorporating magnets).
Improved quality of sleep:
By re-establishing a more favourable environment for rest, therapeutic magnets promote quality sleep and, in particular, rapid sleep onset, deep and restorative sleep, and reduce night-time awakenings, offering a soothing and de-stressing effect.
Sleep and comfort applications: Bedding products (Actipol®, Biosom® pillow), portable products (pads, relaxation masks), ergonomic magnetic pillows.
In-depth hydration:
Magnetised water effectively hydrates, promotes drainage and the elimination of toxins, improves transit and aids digestion.
Hydration applications: Magnetic objects for magnetising water, magnetic containers (flasks, Vortex cups).
Energy rebalancing:
Energy rebalancing preserves the free circulation of vital breath and keeps you fit. It restores energy dysfunctions in a natural and holistic way. Regular energy rebalancing sessions help to maintain this capital so that you can enjoy your life to the full and with peace of mind.
Energy rebalancing applications: Energy boxes, magnetic insoles, magnetic jewellery.
Contraindications to magnetotherapy
There are no strict contraindications. However, there are a few caveats:
Magnetic solutions are not recommended for pregnant women or people with pacemakers or other devices sensitive to magnetic fields.
Keep away from computer media.
Handle powerful magnets with care.
The many benefits of natural alternative medicine
Magnetic therapy has a number of advantages. Firstly, it is natural and non-invasive, avoiding the side effects often associated with traditional medical painkillers. What's more, magnetotherapy can be used for prolonged periods without the risk of addiction. It can also be applied in a targeted way, acting directly on the painful areas for effective relief. Finally, by promoting the body's energy balance, magnetotherapy helps to improve well-being, reduce pain and improve overall health and quality of life.
