Biomagnetism is the phenomenon of magnetic fields produced by living organisms; it is a subset of bio-electro-magnetism.
In contrast, organisms' use of magnetism in navigation is magnetoception and the study of the magnetic fields' effects on organisms is magneto-biology. (The word biomagnetism has also been used loosely to include magneto biology, further encompassing almost any combination of the words magnetism, cosmology, and biology, such as "magneto-astrobiology".)
The origin of the word biomagnetism is unclear, but seems to have appeared several hundred years ago, linked to the expression "animal magnetism".
The present scientific definition took form in the 1970s, when an increasing number of researchers began to measure the magnetic fields produced by the human body.
The first valid measurement was actually made in 1963, but the field of research began to expand only after a low-noise technique was developed in 1970.

Today the community of bio-magnetic researchers does not have a formal organization, but international conferences are held every two years, with about 600 attendees.
Most conference activity centers on the MEG (magneto-encephalogram), the measurement of the magnetic field of the brain.
Biomagnetism works to regulate and normalize hormone secretion in the glands. It is currently believed that the increased electrical current being produced forms like a net around the glands and secretory ducts.
An extra concentration of oxygen stimulates production while the electrical net regulates optimum secretion. As a result, conditions caused by a lack of hormone secretion or a hormone imbalance are affected through normalizing the hormone functions within the body.
Hormones play a very important role in rejuvenation and in general energy levels while proper circulation ensures that the hormone level is evenly distributed to all parts of the body.
When magnetic "flux" (the north/south flow of a magnet) passes through tissue, a secondary current is created around the flux lines in the tissue cells. This ionizes the protoplasm and rejuvenates the tissues by activating cell metabolism. The function of the cell becomes strengthened as the cell metabolism responds to the bioelectrical currents initiated by the magnetic flux.
This current induces muscle spasms to decrease and the activated cell metabolism lowers inflammation in the tissue. The increase of cellular metabolism aids in the regeneration as well as in new cell growth.
The negative pole energies of magnetism interfere with the nerve cell's ability to send pain impulses to the brain for the pain to be registered. Blood cells have potassium in their center which has a positive bioelectric charge. The nerve cell differs in an opposite way.
During a pain response, the outside switches to potassium with a positive bioelectric charge. Through attraction, the negative pole charge of a magnet creates a "Blend" of the potassium's positive bioelectric charge as the natural flow of current is towards the negative pole.
As the use of bio-magnetics in clinics around the world continues to increase, healers are seeing firsthand how natural magnetism promotes health and provides energy by eliminating disorder in the various biological systems. Stimulating blood circulation and building new cells to rejuvenate the tissues of the body does this.
The bio-magnetic effect on iron and oxygen in the body allows the hemoglobin active movement, thereby activating circulations in a remarkable way. Ineffective and weakened blood cells are appropriately strengthened and more fresh, vital blood is pumped in the system.
With the respiratory exchange, improved and cellular metabolism activated to increase vitality, prevention and cure of disease become a natural conclusion.
