A magnetotherapeutic device incorporates bio-ceramic fibers so as to provide simultaneous magnetotherapy and far infra-red wave therapy. Generally encased in clear plastic or the like, the magnetotherapeutic device of the present invention may take the form of a transparent disk having a plastic rim. A stainless cap may provide an attractive top surface into which a logo or symbol may be embossed. It also enhances the magnetic affects on the side opposite the stainless steel cap, the side that is applied to the body. A strong magnet such as one incorporating neodymium may underlie the stainless steel cap to provide magnetotherapy in the present invention. Bio-ceramic fibers emitting the far infra-red wavelengths of 8?14 microns underlie the strong neodymium magnet. A mat of woven bio-ceramic fibers or the like may provide such a structure. In order to provide ventilation and communication between the environment outside of the magnetotherapeutic device of the present invention, perforated or foramenous MYLAR may serve as a bottom cover encasing the stainless steel cap, neodymium magnet, bio-ceramic fibers, and the plastic case. The perforated or foramenous MYLAR may then provide better communication between the thermal radiation of the adjacent body and emittance of far infra-red waves by the bio-ceramic fibers.
