There are several holistic health remedies that can be utilized in addition to magnets to alleviate the physical pain and emotional distress that is caused during childbirth, all which are noninvasive and work in harmony with the body. Use the illustration as a placement guide for using magnetic therapy as an alternative health treatment for easing labor pains: Place magnetic dots at Point A, located on the top of the shoulder, directly on the muscle, one to two inches out from the side of the lower neck, to assist childbirth and relieves pain, nervousness, irritability, fatigue, shoulder tension, poor circulation, cold hands and feet. Place magnetic dots at Point B, located on the sacrum (at the base of the spine directly above the tall bone), to help relieve cramps and lower-back pain. Two minutes of steady, firm pressure on these sacral points - by lying down on your back with your hands, one on top of the other, under the base of the spine helps relax the uterus and relieve menstrual cramps. Place magnetic dots at Point C, located in the webbing between the thumb and index finger at the highest spot of the muscle when the thumb and index finger are brought close together, to relieve labor pain, constipation, headaches, toothaches, shoulder pain, and arthritis.
