Magnetic Bracelets

I hadn’t heard about magnetic bracelets until recently and admittedly at first I was one of the biggest skeptics. It was my grandfather who told me about the special bracelets and he has been known to make up a story or two.Well how my grandfather came to experience magnetic bracelets was through a suggestion from his doctor. My grandfather was experiencing significant pain in both of his wrists and hands from arthritis. The pain and swelling had become so significant in fact that he could no longer feed himself and my grandmother had to help him with feeding and many other daily tasks.

My grandmother took him to the doctor who was at a loss, all of the regular medications had stopped working and he had nothing new he could try to help my grandfather – except the magnetic bracelets.

He had told my grandparents that a salesperson had brought the bracelets to the surgery for him to try and that if my grandfather was willing he wanted him to wear the bracelets to see if they would help reduce the pain and symptoms of his arthritis.

They thought why not give it a try. In the first week not much happened when he wore the magnetic bracelets, he felt heat in the area but he wasn’t sure whether it was the bracelets or the effects of his arthritis.

The second week of wearing the magnetic bracelets he felt tingling in his wrists where they had felt numb before and they seemed less swollen. Well a month later he was smiling and a true believer in the healing benefits of wearing the magnet bracelets and the doctor was astounded at his progress as well.

The swelling in both of his wrists had significantly reduced since wearing the magnetic bracelets and he was starting to regain movement in his hands and joints as the swelling reduced and though he still had a long way to go he was very pleased with the results he had already seen.

How do magnetic bracelets work?

Magnetic bracelets are used in magnet therapy, which is also referred to as magnetic therapy or magnotherapy and is one of a myriad of alternative therapies that are around today. The theory behind magnet therapy is that if you expose different parts of the body to magnostatic fields from magnets there are health benefits to be gained for the patient.

The health benefits from the magnetised bracelets come from helping to balance the positive and negative energies in the body and reinstating a neutral state that is neither negative nor positive which is called ether. This is the ideal place to stay for people as it means optimal health.

The magnetic bracelets help to move the energy through the arm, increase blood flow and to reduce inflammation is the joints. This is not new for in actual fact the use of magnets and magnetic bracelets has been used for centuries in different forms as a way of encouraging the body to heal itself.

Conditions that can be affected by magnet therapy

• Stress – with a magnetic field created on the crown of the head which induces sleep and calm and may help to produce a hormone called melatonin;

• Bacterial, Fungal, and Viral Infections - negative magnetic field acts like an antibiotic by increasing oxygen in the blood and reducing the acid levels in the blood;

• The relief of pain – magnetic bracelets can help relieve pain that is located in the area of the wrist whilst other magnetic jewelry can be used to assist in other parts of the body;

• Arthritis.

The different types of magnetic bracelets

There are many different types of magnetic bracelets in the marketplace and it is worth looking around at different providers as well as researching on the Internet to ensure that you buy effective magnetic bracelets at the best price. Here are just some of the different magnetic bracelets that you may come across:

Titanium Magnetic Bracelets

Titanium is a very special metal and while it is lightweight it is also very strong and durable which makes to some, these titanium magnetic bracelets more attractive than others as they are very light to wear. They are lighter than the stainless steel magnetic bracelets and are perfect for people that have painful wrist conditions because they don’t add further strain to the area.

Double Power Titanium Magnetic Bracelets

These are very similar to the titanium magnetic bracelets except that they have 2 magnets per link instead of one with a maximum of 36 magnets installed in every bracelet.

Silicon Magnetic Bracelets

Neodymium magnets, 30 each bracelet, are installed in flexible silicon bands to make these magnetic bracelets that slip over your hand instead of having a fastener. They are made in a number of different colors and are ideal for both sporting activities as well as the general relief of pain.

Stainless Steel Magnetic Bracelets

The stainless steel magnetic bracelets are manufactured as either link or bangle magnetic bracelets.

Black Series Magnetic Bracelets

The black series of bracelets are harder to find and they are made of gunmetal plated titanium, tungsten and ceramic links or titanium with black leather depending on your preference.

Copper Magnetic Bracelets

You will find that often the copper bracelets will have 6 magnets but it varies between manufacturers. The copper bracelets are used to reduce inflammation in joints.
