Does It Really Work?

An article recently published at About.com: Holistic Healing says that magnetic therapy really does work.

This particular study was done in Houston at the Baylor College of Medicine and has been published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.  In the study 76% of patients treated with a magnet received relief from their pain.  This compared to only 18% percent treated with a sham magnet experienced pain relief.

Magnets provide relief from pain by increasing the blood flow to the painful are on the body.  It has also been found to prevent muscle spasms by intefering with the muscle contractions.  In nerve cells, magnets have been found to interfere with the electrochemical reactions which impedes the nerves ability to transmit pain messages to the brain.

While chronic pain can be treated with many over-the-counter medications, magnets offer a way to control pain that brings with it no side effects.

Answers to Common Questions Regarding the Use of Magnets to Relieve Pain

If you've never used magnets as a source of pain relief, you may not know what to expect.  Here are answers to common questions that we receive from our customers at Beads-N-Style.....

Q:  I've been wearing my magnetic jewelry for a couple of weeks and it doesn't seem to be helping me any -- why is it not working?
A:  In order to experience the best results possible, you must wear your magnetic jewelry 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  If left in place day and night the wearer should begin to experience relief from their pain within 3-6 weeks.  The magnetic field works to reduce inflammation and increases endorphin levels.  This cannot happen immediately.  Be patient and give it a good 1-2 months before giving up and determining that is just doesn't work for you.

Q:  Is it possible to use too many magnets?
A:  Quite simply, the answer to this question is "No".  The magnetic field given off by magnets cannot harm the body.   An electromagnetic field already flows thru all living things.  The magnetic field that flows through a magnetic bracelet is quite similar to the magnetic current that already flows thru the human body. 

Q:  Does the strength of the magnets matter?
Yes, it is important to know the strength of the magnetic beads in the jewelry you wear.  The strength is measured in guass.  The higher the gauss, the greater the healing power of the magnet.  It is recommended that jewelry worn with the purpose to relieve pain be (at least) between 800 and 3000 gauss.  At Beads-N-Style, we state the gauss of each item in the product description.

What is Hematite?

The majority of beads that are used in the jewelry at Beads-N-Style is made of magnetic hematite. But, what exactly is hematite?

Hematite is a type of iron oxide. This means that it contains oxygen molecules that are mixed with iron. Hematite is the most abundant iron-conaining mineral on Earth and is an important source of iron.

The name hematite comes from the reddish color that shows when the hematite is powdered. This reddish color reminded many of blood. The Greek word hema means blood, so was used to describe this stone.

Sometimes the hematite will be mixed with other minerals. Ilmenite is one such mineral that also includes titanium.

A number of products are made from hematite -- cosmetics, paints, carvings and jewelry.

At Beads-N-Style we are committed to crafting our jewelry with only the finest magnetic hematite beads. We check all our beads for quality before using in any type of jewelry.
