Magnet therapy has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. It is theorized that magnets are able to break up stagnation by rearranging energy (Qi) in to an organized manner so that it can flow freely (much as you notice shards of steel are organized and all facing one direction after a magnet is passed over them). In Chinese medicine, pain is a result of a stagnation of blood and Qi; where Qi goes, blood follows. The unobstructed flow of Qi is vital to good health according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncturists manipulate the flow of Qi using many tool and techniques, including acupuncture needles and magnets, thus reducing pain by resolving Qi and blood stagnation. ==Alt Answer== Magnets have not been shown to have any affect on the blood. There are trace elements of iron in the blood, but way too little to have any affect on flow. There simply isn't anything in the blood that reacts to magnets. Just because it's used in China, doesn't mean it works. Parts of China are very poor, and they are unable to afford western medicine. They develop alternative medicine due to human nature. "I took x and got better. Therefore x fixed me." This is not always the case. Many people take x, and still die, but they aren't around to tell the tale.
