Magnetism as a Healing Aid – A Journey Through Time

The power of magnetism has long held a mysterious fascination for humankind. As early as antiquity, the so-called lodestone – a naturally occurring ore with magnetic properties – was regarded as a bearer of healing energy. More than 2,000 years ago, Greek and Roman scholars such as Pliny the Elder and Galen documented the health-supporting effects of magnetic stones.

At the same time, magnetism was integrated into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) through acupressure and meridian work – sometimes in combination with metal patches or jade plates.

The belief that magnetic fields can harmonize the body’s energy flow has been present across many cultures for thousands of years.

In the 19th century, magnetic healing aids flourished in Europe. Belts, mats, and amulets containing magnets were widely used as natural health remedies. The industrial revolution ushered in the first mechanical magnetic devices – early predecessors of today’s therapy systems.

With medical progress and scientific research in the 20th century, magnetic field therapy became more refined and differentiated. Today, with certified devices such as SANOMAG, we harness the targeted effects of static magnetic fields to support well-being – particularly in cases of pain, tension, or stress-related issues.

Whether as a cultural tradition or as modern complementary medicine – magnetism remains a fascinating path to holistic balance.
