Magnets In My Knickers?
I know you are probably thinking
“Really, you wear magnets in your knickers?”
Yes, that’s right! After years of suffering with back pain a friend suggested I stick a magnet in my knickers, and I’ve never looked back.

Up until then I didn’t know anything about magnets, apart from them being handy for holding take-away menus to the front of the fridge. I reluctantly mentioned magnetic therapy to friends, slightly worried they were going to think that it was some new fad I’d been conned into, but I was surprised to find out that I wasn’t the first to discover this amazing new innovation.
And when I say new, it turns out that magnetic therapy isn’t really that ‘new’.
How Long Has Magnetic Therapy Been Around?
I’ve since found out that the use of magnets for pain relief has been around for thousands of years. The Chinese were documented using magnetic therapy for healing over 2000 years ago, and the ancient Egyptians were fans, including Cleopatra, who not only slept on a loadstone (magnetic) bed, but also wore a magnetic amulet thought to help preserve her youthful looks.

With ancient things in mind I thought it was time my cynical husband gave magnets a go for his painful frozen shoulder that he’d suffered with for years. He was taking strong anti-inflammatory painkillers on an almost daily basis, which I knew wasn’t doing him any good.
With a trendy, new magnetic bracelet he didn’t care if it was going to work or not.
He told me he hadn’t notice any difference since wearing it, but he whinges less these days so I’m certainly suffering less. Most importantly though, he stopped taking a handful of ibuprofen every day.
Magnetic Therapy for Pets
The friend that told me about magnet therapy in the first place had a poor doggy with terrible arthritis, and was close to getting ‘the final injection’ to put him out of his misery. Just before making the dreadful decision and saying goodbye to him forever, someone recommended to her to try a magnetic dog collar, and what happened next was unbelievable.
Before wearing the magnetic collar the poor pooch could hardly walk, stiff from the arthritis. Within a day of having it on there was a definite improvement. Within a week he was like a puppy again.
One thing you can count on in life is your dog not lying to you. They are probably not thinking
‘I’ve got a new collar, I’d better liven up my act!’
so maybe the magnets were actually working. He wasn’t cured of arthritis, but it made a massive improvement for the last few years of his life.
Natural Remedy for the Menopause?
Not long after this the menopause hit my friend, and she dreaded taking HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), so started looking for natural alternatives.
Reluctantly she did give in to the symptoms and took HRT, pilling on the pounds, loosing energy from carrying the additional weight, and loosing patients with everyone around her.
With a bit of research on how to naturally alleviate menopause symptoms she re-discovered magnetic therapy, and having personally witnessing the astounding effect magnetic therapy had on her dog, she thought she’d give it a go herself.
Attaching a discreet magnet to her knickers (like the photo below), in no time at all she felt an increase in energy, an improvement in her mood swings, and she slept better every night. Astounded by the results, she dropped the HRT and kept the magnet, and never felt better!
Obviously, magnetic therapy doesn’t work for everyone, but from personal experience it brings a new lease of life, and to some people it makes some pain disappear completely.
Magnetic therapy is non-invasive, and although not necessarily life changing, it can improve lives.
How Magnetic Therapy Helps Me
Sometimes, particularly when I’ve had a long day sat at my desk, I will wear a magnet in the back of my knickers when I go to bed. It pretty much guarantees I will wake up in the morning without any back pain (something I’ve previously suffered with for years).

I don’t need to wear it at any other time, though have worn it on the odd occasion when I’ve felt the start of menstrual cramps, though thankfully this is not a regular occurrence.
I do wear other magnetic jewellery during the day, since finding it also helped with my tennis elbow and RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).
With so many different styles of attractive jewellery to choose from I would wear it anyway, regardless of if it actually did anything or not.

Some people will say it’s the placebo effect, where the power of the mind creates the experience of pain relief or healing, but there are many success stories relating to children and animals who really wouldn’t understand about the effect of magnets on their bodies.
I invite you to try it for yourself, along with the millions of satisfied magnetic therapy users from around the world.
Magnetic therapy is non-invasive, inexpensive, and something that can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere, anytime.
