What Are The Benefits of Magnets?

 

Potentially Harmful Risks Of Drugs

Only recently, have the benefits of magnets re-emerged and been gaining momentum in the United States, largely fueled by mounting clinical research reports and the 120 million world-wide users who spend $1.5 billion globally on therapeutic magnets. Data Monitor - 1999. From this new prominence has been the mounting acceptance of magnets as an alternative pain-relief option to the potentially harmful risks of drugs.

How Do Magnets Work to Comfort Painful conditions?

A painful area almost always lacks blood circulation and oxygen. The area usually is highly acidic and has a positive polarity. The negative (Unipole) magnet increases the circulation, thus bringing more oxygen to the painful area, reducing inflammation. The negative energy field produced by the magnet also counteracts the positive field associated with the painful condition.

What Is The FDA Position

Although FDA has not evaluated claims for therapeutic magnets, the agency has indicated that it will not object to the following statements for magnets --  

Provides Pain-Relief

Improves Circulation

Promotes Relaxation

Enhances Well-Being

FDA has temporarily allowed magnet claims to be made for general pain-relief. It has yet to approve any static magnet for a specific pain indication. FDA certainly does not permit any marketer from making unsubstantiated pain-relief claims, and the agency's policy does not sanction any statement of unproven attributesor misrepresentations.

FDA Has not approved Tectonic® Magnets and a reference to FDA does not in any manner imply such an approval. This article by Magnetherapy, Inc. Details are available upon request from Magnetherapy, Inc

Does it make a Difference on which wrist you wear Magnetic Bracelets?

Therapeutic Magnetic bracelets utilize reflexology points on the wrist. As we are individuals, the best way to judge is to wear a bracelet on one wrist for a certain time period to see if it will help with your unique situation. Switching wrists to obtain different results for your problem is recommended by some sources. (It is not recommended that any jewelry be worn in a shower or while doing dishes to prevent soap scum build-up between links.)

What Is The Cost Of Magnets?

Some overzealous opportunists have glutted the market with seductive cheep prices for very low quality products leaving many consumers bewildered. High quality magnets last a lifetime, provide superior depth of penetration, and give comfort for your painful condition. As with many other products you will only get as much quality as what you pay for. When you purchase  your magnets buy only the best.

How do I use the magnets?

Using Unipole magnets is no secret. They are extremely simple to use. Just place the magnet on or near the area where you want to receive comfort. It is not necessary to keep the magnet on the area continuously. Magnets should not be used on an open and fresh wound. Note: See how to use unipole magnets below and Who Can Use Magnets above.

What is a unipole magnet?

Unipole Or Unidirectional Magnets are strongly recommended for therapeutic usage. These magnets are a flat surface type with the Positive pole on one flat side, and the Negative pole on the opposite flat surface. The Positive side is usually marked with a red color. The Negative is usually indicated by a GREEN colored-coded sticker. The green NEGATIVE side is always the side placed toward the body.

Gauss?

Gauss is not the overall power of a magnet. Several factors determine the total power of the magnet, gauss is only one of them. Gauss is the centimeter-gram-second unit of magnetic induction, equal to one Maxwell per square centimeter or the flux density of the magnetic field.
