 Magnetic Jewelry: An Overview and Introduction Part 1

Natural stone magnets used in this type of jewelry include pieces of magnetite or magnetized hematite, but man-made magnets may be used as well. Much of the hematite, both magnetic and non-magnetic ends up being synthetic, while magnetite is naturally magnetic. This makes magnetite extremely difficult to demagnetize.

In the metal magnetic jewelry, you'll typically find man-made magnets mounted on the side closest to the skin. The natural stone magnets, on the other hand, are polished to a luster and cut to varying shapes, such as barrel, diamond cut, or hex.

Since the metal magnetic jewelry has the magnets mounted on the skin-facing side, these magnets can come loose and fall out. No matter what type of jewelry you're buying, the purpose is to perform magnetic therapy on the appropriate part of your body while you are wearing it.

The popularity of magnetic jewelry is on the rise in the US. In the year 2000, it was reported that more than 120 million people worldwide use magnets. In many cultures and areas of the world, it has been custom to use magnets for healing purposes for many years.

Magnetic jewelry, like non-magnetic jewelry, comes in bracelets, necklaces, anklets, and earrings. Therefore, it can be used to relieve pain in various parts of the body. Don't expect, however, that a magnetic bracelet will relieve your back pain. It is not designed for that area of the body.

Magnetic jewelry is not intended to be sold as a medical device. There are a number of theories on how it works, and it is sometimes claimed to enhance blood flow by affecting charged ions in the blood, or block pain signals.

When people stop by our booth and see our jewelry, many times they'll ask us how magnets heal. The correct answer, of course is that they do not heal. They allow the body to heal itself.

Magnets are known to have a positive effect on living tissue. In one study, plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Man showed that static magnets could be used to speed wound healing. In China, magnets are regularly used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease.

Now widely accepted as an alternative method of pain relief with millions of users world wide, some call it pain relief without drugs. A medical doctor who researched magnets for many years said that it can be as effective as a shot of morphine.

Magnetic jewelry has been reported by users to have many benefits, including professional athletes and celebrities. Although not intended to be sold as a medical device, magnetic jewelry is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative therapy for aches and pains.
