How to Buy Body Magnets for Anxiety

Anxiety disorders affect nearly 40 million people in the United States each year. That's about 18% of the total population. Many people suffering from these conditions get frustrated with taking prescription medicine, and decide to take an alternative route. Alternative medicine providers believe that magnets create a special field around the body, which may help ease anxiety.
