Over 140 million people use magnets for pain relief! Magnetic therapy dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Magnets have long been believed to have healing powers associated with muscle pain and stiffness. Chinese healers as early as 200 B.C. were said to use magnetic lodestones or hematite on the body to correct unhealthy imbalances in the flow of qi, or energy. Magnetic therapy is widely accepted as an alternative method of pain relief. Since the late 1950s, hundreds of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of magnetic therapy being an effective, non-invasive, drug-free way to help reduce pain, to help increase flexibility and promote the body's own natural healing process. In Brazil it is one of the most popular methods of pain relief. |
When referring to magnets, we are not talking about the type of magnets found on refrigerator doors - but biomagnets - those magnets manufactured for physical and mental healing. Biomagnet power is measured in terms of gauss. The earth's surface is approximately 0.5 gauss. Listed below are typical magnetic strength classifications:
Low gauss (g) = 300 - 700 g
Medium gauss = 1000 - 2500 g
High gauss = 3000 - 6000 g
Super gauss = 7000 - 12000 gThe magnetic closures that we use on our jewelry range in strength from 6,000 gauss to 12,000 gauss. Our jewelry is 2 to 2 ½ times stronger than most products on the market today! In addition to using the magnetic clasps, we also use magnetized Hematite stone beads in our designs.
How Does It Work: Every pain in your body is an electronic transfer from your site of pain (back, wrist, knee, etc.) to your brain. Pain transfers by little electronic flashes or signals from nerve ending to nerve ending. Studies have shown that by applying a strong enough magnet, 2,400 gauss or higher, the magnet interrupts, or interferes with the pain signal. And, your brain has no reason to tell you you're in pain. Our jewelry does not cure or heal anything. The magnets simply disrupt the pain signal that is traveling in your nervous system. One piece of our jewelry, worn on a pressure point (neck, wrist, or ankle), is usually strong enough for most people to work on their entire body, head to toe.
During the past 155 years, the earth's magnetic field has been declining which has caused increasing health problems. In fact, when astronauts first went into space, they suffered bone calcium loss and muscle cramps from decreased exposure to the earth's magnetic field. Doctors discovered placing artificial magnetic fields in the space capsules effectively kept the astronauts healthier.
