A comparative study was conducted on two groups of adults (31 persons) to determine whether or not exposing human bodies to a magnetic field changes their body temperature in a statistically meaningful way. In a room with a constant temperature (below 25 deg Celsius), N pole and S pole of permanent magnets (2000 Gauss) were applied to the LU-7 and LU-9 of the right wrist respectively for subjects in the magnet group, whereas placebo magnets were used with the control group. 25 minutes after magnet application, 80% of the control group showed a decrease by 0.5 deg Celsius, while 48% of the magnet group did in the temperatures of their feet. And 12% of the magnet group indicated an increase by 0.5 deg Celsius whereas no control subjects showed any temperature difference over 0.5 deg Celsius.
