Magnets are available every where. Very little people understands the healing properties of magnets. Dr. Desh Bandhu Bajpai is a medical practitioner and is using magnets for healing purposes. In this slide show , you will find the properties of magnets and other details.
HELIOTHERAPY Helio-means sun and therapy means treatment. The use of natural sunlight for therapeutic purposes is better known as heliotherapy.
Heliotherapy is defined as the treatment of disease by exposing the body to sunlight It is the treatment by means of Sun’s electromagnetic waves
The use of sunlight is prevalent since the times of ancient Greeks and Romans. In modern days, persons can be seen taking sunbaths at the beaches in the coastal regions. Heliotherapy is effective in the treatment of psoriasis and other skin conditions as the sunrays emit ultraviolet radiations.
Wax therapy, which uses a bath of molten paraffin wax, is one of the most effective ways of applying heat to improve mobility by warming the connective tissues. Wax therapy is mainly used on your hands along with an exercise program.

Types of electrotherapeutic current (unit 6)
1. Types of electrotherapeutic current :- There are three types of current used in electrotherapeutic purpose:-
Direct current.
Alternating current.
Pulsed current/ pulsatile current.
2. Characteristic features of electrotherapeutic current:- Wave Form:-
The shape of the single pulse or cycle phases as they appear on the graph of current (voltage) versus time is called wave form.
Mainly two types of characteristics are used to describe pulsed and alternating current wave forms:-
Descriptive (qualitative) characteristics.
Quantitative Characteristics.
3. Current modulations:- Changes in current characteristics may be sequential, intermittent or variable in nature and are referred to as modulations.
Amplitude modulation:- Variations in peak amplitude of a series of pulses.
4. Burst Current:- A finite series of pulses, a finite interval of alternation current delivered at a specific frequency over a specific time interval.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Magnetotherapy is a therapeutic
technique that works by applying artificial
magnetic fields on an affected part of
the human body, by controlling its
intensity and frequency.—
• We expose the affected body’s area to a
magnetic field similar to the Earth’s one
(intensity of 0,5 Gauss), with artificial
magnetic fields we can get higher levels
of frequency and application time.
• Magnetic therapy assists the body to
regain its self healing balance.

3. How a Magnetic Field is Produced:
1.An electrical current produces an associated magnetic field.
2.Inside natural magnets there are microscopic electric currents which
cause a magnetic field of certain intensity and direction due to the
structure of the crystals.
3.These magnetics create a prolonged result in which the magnets behave
as alkaline and counteract any acidity in the body caused by the disease.
4. Types of artificial
magnets used:
• Non stationary(Electro-magnets): work
only when connected to electricity.
• Pulsed: (Pulsed generator connected to a
coil produces a magnetic field).
• Stationary(permanent magnets):are
fully charged with electric current
and remain permanently
magnestized.(earings,bracelets,necklace
or pellets)
• Unipolar:discrete magnets arranged with
same pole facing patient's skin.
• Bipolar:both North and South poles facing
patient's skin.
5. • The latest findings on the physiological
response of the organism to the
electromagnetic field imply the
following effects of magnetotherapy:
• analgesic effect
• Antiedematous effect.
• Antiphlogistic effect.
• Trophic effect (acceleration of healing and
growth).
• Myorelaxed and spasmolytic effect.
• Vasodilation
7. CELLULAR EFFECTS
• 1.Enrich the oxygen in the cell.
• 2.Improve the utilization of oxygen.
• 3.Increasing the metabolism.
• 4.Enhance ATP production.
• 5.Increases energy on the cellular
level.
8. EFFECTS ON ORGANS
AND SYSTEMS
• I.OSSEOUS TROPHIC EFFECT
• ●The magnetic field, due to the piezoelectric
property of the bone, makes better the
architectural course of osseous trabeculas in
damage zones, guiding them to the same
direction. This means that better osseous callus
is created.
• In conclusion, a certain number of exposures to
a low frequency magnetic field provoke the
formation of an osseous callus of high-quality in
a short time period.
• Magnetic fields:
• 1.Collagen production increase.
• 2.Calcium deposit increase.
• 3.Modification of the osseous architectural
process.
• Stimulation of the hyaluronic acid synthesis.

9. EFFECTS ON
ORGANS AND SYSTEMS
• II. VASCULAR EFFECT
• It has been observed that magnetic
fields facilitate the capillary
neoformation, the appearance of
pericytes in capillaries, and the
opening of precapillary sphincters. By:
• 1.There is a vasodilatation in a local
level due to arterial circulation
improvement.
• 2. There is an improvement of the
oxygen partial pressure.
10. EFFECTS ON ORGANS
AND SYSTEMS
• III. ANALGESIC EFFECT
• There is an evident analgesic
effect, but the genesis is still
unknown. Hypothesis:
• The production’s increase of
oligopeptides that constitutes
the group of endorphins
and encephalins, being this
effect at a central
and peripheral level.
11. EFFECTS ON
ORGANS AND
SYSTEMS
• IV. Autonomous Nervous System Effects:
• Increase of chemical mediator levels, as
catecholamine (adrenaline, noradrenalin) or as
acetylcholine.
• Depending on the orientation of the nodular
ganglion and vagus nerve in a magnetic field, an
increase or inhibition of the nervous impulse
transmission is observed.
• This is due to the orientation produced by the
magnetic field in the ions of the cellular
membrane.
12. HOW DOES MAGNETS RELEIVE PAIN?
They interfere with the electrochemical reaction that takes place within
nerve cells impending their ability to transmit pain massage to the brain.
WHAT STRENGTH DOES THE MAGNET HAVE TO BE?
Medical magnet ranges in strength from 450 gauss to 10,000 gauss . The
higher the gauss the better the pain relief.
13. INDICATION TO USE
MAGNETS TO REDUCE
PAIN
• Aching feet
• Arthritis
• Back apin
• Headaches
• Fibromyalgia
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Sciatica pain
15. CONTRAINDICATIONS
• 1.Existence of acute infection, specially
septicemia and tuberculosis, because there is
danger of dissemination.
• 2.Hemorrhagic focus (bleeding ulcers, intestinal
hemorrhages, etc), because of vasodilatation
effect can provoked a hemorrhage.
• 3.Cardiac pacemaker
• 4.Pregnancy, because it could provoke fetal
damages.
• 5.Tumours existence because they can be
disseminate.
• 6.Patients with hydrocortisone treatment.
• 7.In case of vascular obstruction, because the
obstructive element can be liberated and
obstruct another part of the body, provoking
further damages.
• 8.Juvenile diabetes
• 9.Coagulation disorders
• 10.The presence of ferromagnetic metal implants
16. APPLICATION NORMS
• 1.The patient must NOT introduce metal objects in the solenoid because they can distort the
magnetic field.
• 2.The treatment usually response quickly, but it depends on the pathology, age, and other
conditions of the patient. If after 10 sessions we do not see the patient is advanced along the
curative process, it is better to stop the therapy because it means the patient is not receptive
to the treatment.
• 3.The therapy time 30 minutes to 2 hours maximum.
• 4.It is better for the affected zone of the patient to be in direct contact with solenoid.
• 5.The sessions must be applied continuously. If it is necessary to accelerate the recovery’s
patient, we could apply two sessions at the same day but with a separation of 12 hours
between them.
• 6.Electromagnetic fields therapy can be complemented with other therapies
17. BASIC GUIDELINES
• All treatments should start at
lower settings.
• Changes and reactions should be
observed to allow adjustment of
treatment settings.
• An increase of pain may occur,
which is a positive indication that
the patient is actually responding
to the therapy [reaction phase]
18. BASIC GUIDELINES
• Increase of pain – lower setting
• Less pain - stay with setting
• No change in condition go to higher setting
• Head areas & migraine shall never be
treated higher than 1-3mT, 2Hz, 10 min
• Patient with allergies may also require low
settings 1-3mT, 2-4Hz, 10-20 min
• Attention must be paid to the patient with
sever circulatory disorders, pain can increase
with low setting due to increased blood flow in
peripheral vessels.
