How Magnetic Therapy Works

Healing with magnets has been around for hundreds of years. Recently, due to an increased interest in alternative medicine and news of some well-known athletes using magnetic therapy for pain relief, the interest in healing with magnets is on the rise ones again.

In spite of a limited scientific evidence to either support or deny the positive results of healing with magnets lots of people including hundreds of our customers swear by the benefits of magnetic healing.

So, how do magnets work?

There are two main applications for magnetic therapy:

• Pain Reduction
• Healing The Body

In terms of reducing pain, some doctors believe that pain reduction with magnets works similarly to using a heating pad. The magnets are placed on or near the body, and are used to stimulate nerve endings by acting to interrupt pain signals to the brain. The difference is that heat treatment can be more intense, while magnetic healing is more constant. So, while you can’t wear a heating pad for hours at a time, you can wear a magnetic bracelet every day.
In terms of healing an area of the body, magnets are placed either on or near the body, and it’s believed that the magnets act to stimulate the cellular and chemical area where the healing is to occur. That is, blood is accelerated to the area, which increases the oxygenation of the blood and dilates the blood vessels, providing additional oxygen and nutrients to the place in need of healing.

Healing powers of magnets depends on their strength and polarity. The force (magnetic field of energy) from a magnet is measured in Gauss strength. Magnets used for pain relief and healing typically measure between 300 – 3000 Gauss.

Magnets have two different poles—a positive pole and a negative pole. For reasons most researchers cannot explain, applying the negative side of a magnet is effective, but applying the positive side of a magnet is not.

When buying magnetic jewellery form us you can be sure that all our products contain neodymium magnets – the strongest permanent bio magnets available and are designed with the north pole of the magnet facing the body.
