Electromagnetic therapy (alternative medicine)

Electromagnetic therapy is when you use electric and magnetic energy to help your body feel better. You know how magnets stick to the fridge, right? Well, magnets have a special field around them that can help move things. And, if you use them near your body, they can help move blood and oxygen to the places you need it most, helping you feel better.

When you use electromagnetic therapy, you may also use devices that make small electric currents. These tiny shocks can help reduce pain and inflammation, and even help your tissue heal faster.

Some people believe that electromagnetic therapy can help treat illnesses, but this is not proven through scientific studies yet. So, think of electromagnetic therapy like a special helper that can make you feel better, but it is important to talk to your doctor first to make sure it is safe for you.
