The first treatise on Magnetochemistry in India was written in English by Dr. S.S. Bhatnagar and Dr. K.N. Mathur, in the year 1935. This dealt with the physical principles and the application of Magnetochemistry. In this particular subject, they studied mainly on oxidation.

This particular book on Magnetochemistry provides an excellent summary of the work on Magnetochemistry. The notable contributions of Dr. S.S. Bhatnagar, M. Sc. (Punjab), D. Sc. (London) in the field of Magnetochemistry are also discussed here. For this work on Magnetochemistry, he won an award of rupees one lakh which he later donated to a University. This work earned him the title `knight` in 1941 and was awarded `Padma Vibhushana` in 1954. He expired on the 1st January, 1955. Thereafter, many further experiments in Biomagnetics and other aspects of magnetotherapy are going on in India.

This book on Magnetochemistry inspired the modern time people to use this ancient knowledge about the therapeutic quality of the magnet. Thus, the magnet treatment has been revived during the last 200 years and is being developed now with the hope of increasing the utility of magnet as a healer of human sufferings.
