magnetic fields

[Tanya Marquette]

i have recently purchased some magnetic balls for use in my laundry.
it has occurred to me that i dont know the impact of such magnetism on
remedies which i store in the bath/laundry room of the house.

does anyone have information on the impact of magnetics on our rx

Hi Tanya,

I wouldn't store the remedies *next to* a magnet on purpose, but magnetism
drops off *very* quickly, so I would think that even being a few feet away
should be quite safe. (I wouldn't imagine they are super-strong magnets?)

Shannon,

they are pretty powerful magnets. they attach to the inside of the washing machine
and remain there while the machine does its thing. the mftg company says it should be
safe, but they are not homepaths.

But even still. You can check how fast the field drops off just by using
one magnet to test for the field of the other. See how far apart they have
to be before there is no attraction between them. Once you've got that
distance, I wouldn't think there could be any risk at all to remedies. (And
I'm not there would be anyway. I know that some of my remedies were
accidentally left near my computer for a few days, but I haven't noticed any
problem with them. Not scientific, but heck...)
