Norfields Magnetic Therapy

• Magnetic therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive
  natural treatment which relieves pain and
  accelerates the healing process by increasing
  blood flow and oxygenating cells to specific
  areas where magnets are placed.
• Injured/painful areas lack blood circulation and
  oxygen.
• Injured areas are surrounded with inflammation,
  including a buildup of lactic acid, calcium and
  other acidic deposits (build ups) on the muscle.

How Increasing Blood Flow/Circulation Helps

• Blood has iron in it, which is naturally
  attracted to the magnets.
• This attraction helps pull the blood circulation
  to the injured or painful area.
• The blood brings oxygen with it which helps
• Reduce inflammation
• Relax muscles and ligaments
• Relieve cramps and spasms
• All Caused from a lack of oxygen
• The blood also brings nutrients to the areas
  being treated.
• As the blood leaves the area, it takes with it
  the lactic acid and acidic agents that were
  causing pain and inflammation.
• The lymph system can then remove these toxins.

Magnetic Therapy is Commonly Used For

• Reducing inflammation
• Relieving pain in soft tissue injuries
• Relieving joint pain
• Increasing blood flow to the tissue
• Relaxing and relieving tight muscles, tendons and
  ligaments
• Stimulating acupuncture points
• As a preventative treatment, stimulating blood
  flow to potentially weak or stiff areas prior to
  exercise
• Can take away scar tissue and in some cases
  facilitate
• the removal of small bone flakes

Magnetic Therapy is Said to be Beneficial For

• Degenerative bone conditions such as arthritis
• Circulatory problems
• Bowed or strained tendons
• Bone and soft tissue injuries
• Back problems and soreness
• General stiffness and aches
• Relieving bruising
• Magnets should not be used on an open and fresh
  wound.

Bi-Polar Magnets

• Basically, magnets have two poles which are
  magnetic opposites, like the two poles on the
  earth, North and South.
• Bi-polar magnets have positive and negative poles
  on same surface and are arranged so that both
  North and South Poles contact the body.
• North (the Negative) and South (the Positive)
  poles are magnetic opposites.
• This causes a positive eddy in the circulatory
  system.
• The polarities are said to have the following
  effect
• A magnets North (or negative) pole has a
  calming, relaxing effect and helps to decrease
  inflammation.
• A magnets South (or positive) has a stimulating,
  activating effect and helps increases circulation
  which helps the blood to flow and promotes
  healing.

How Long Will Magnets Retain Their Power?

• Magnets maintained in good quality should retain
  their power for your lifetime.
• Magnets can be demagnetized if exposed to very
  high heat of 250 F (140 C) or more.  

10
Gauss??

• Gauss is not the overall power of a magnet.
• The strength of a magnet depends on
• Strength of material (manufacturers gauss
  rating)
• Size and weight of the magnet
• Gauss is the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) unit of
  magnetic induction, or the flux density of the
  magnetic field.

NorfieldsMagnetic Blanket

• The blanket brings overall relief within about a
  two-hour treatment.
• The magnetic blanket provides an acupuncture
  treatment with no needles.

16

• The Gauss on all Norfields magnetic products
  is between 350 and 500 (the only scientifically
  tested safe range)  the penetration is 3-1/2 to 4
  inches on each strategically positioned magnet on
  the blanket.
