Treat Hypertension With Magnetic Therapy

Hypertension (also referred to as high blood pressure), is a common but dangerous disease. Hypertension is known as the “silent killer” because many people are not aware that they even have this illness. One treatment option for hypertension is magnetic therapy. This treatment method is an alternative treatment method which involves placing magnets on certain spots of your body (on or near the injury), in order to treat the ailment, relieve pain and alleviate symptoms. Research shows that magnetic therapy effectively lowers blood pressure, and safely treats and prevents hypertension.


Instructions


1. Schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss the details of magnetic therapy. Your doctor can inform you of the risks and benefits involved with using magnetic therapy and he can also let you know if this is an appropriate treatment option for you. Before using magnetic therapy, your doctor must first give you a medical evaluation and physical examination to verify your current health status. If your doctor feels that magnetic therapy is appropriate for you, he will provide you with more information. He may also recommend a local and qualified acupuncturist, who can administer the therapy to you.








2. Schedule an appointment with a local acupuncturist. If your doctor does not know of any local acupuncturists, you can locate one by visiting Acufinder (see Resources below) or look in your local telephone directory.








3. Meet with the acupuncturist and prepare for your first session. The acupuncturist begins by asking you a series of questions about your current health status, symptoms and lifestyle behavior (such as alcohol and tobacco usage). He discusses the entire magnetic therapy treatment procedure with you and answers any questions you may have about the process.


4. Complete all of the required magnetic therapy sessions with the acupuncturist. Each treatment session may last approximately 30 minutes to an hour. The acupuncturist places small magnets on several acupoints on your body. This creates a force field which helps the muscles to relax, increases the blood flow throughout the body, lowers your elevated blood pressure and restores the body to normal functioning.
