For thousands of years, Chinese, Egyptians, Arabs, Greeks, Romans and Indians have used magnets to heal. Ancient Greece discovered the very first natural magnet in the form of the lodestone and Hippocrates, the father of medicine, noted its healing powers. The Egyptians, too, described the divine powers of the magnet in their writings and Cleopatra frequently adorned herself with magnetic jewelry to preserve her youth. Chinese manuscripts dating back thousands of years described the eastern belief that the life force termed Qi was generated by the earth’s magnetic field. Today, magnetic therapy is well established in many countries such as Japan, China, India, US and Germany.
