Magnetic healing bracelets have gained popularity due to their non-invasive and painless healing methods. Wearing a magnetic bracelet helps to realign disturbances created in the body’s magnetic field. This, in turn, can help you overcome persistent chronic ailments and reduce pain, especially in the wrists, arms, and elbows. Magnetic wrist braces can also provide some relief in the knee and hip areas.

Tips for using a magnetic bracelet

These bracelets are believed to work best when worn near the major acupuncture points on the body. Here are some tips on how to achieve the best results when wearing a magnetic bracelet:

identify the poles

Read the instructions that come with the wrist brace to identify the positive and negative sides. Therapists often recommend that people place the negative pole of the magnet next to the skin.

Consult a Reflexology Map

Pick up a reflexology book at a local library or bookstore. Review the reflexology map and learn about the acupressure points on the wrist. Wear the bracelet on your wrist that contains the acupressure points for the affected area. For example, the spinal acupressure points are located near the left hand, so wear the bracelet on the left wrist to treat spinal ailments. However, if you suffer from gastrointestinal disorders, it is preferable to wear the bracelet on the right wrist.

not too tight

It is important to place the magnetic bracelet close to the affected area. However, the bracelet should not be worn too tight. Wearing the bracelet too tight can cause discomfort and skin irritation due to the accumulation of moisture or sweat.

It is preferable to select a size that is slightly larger than the size of your wrist. Slight movements of the magnets are believed to give more effective results than fixed magnets.

Remember to remove your bracelet while showering, bathing, swimming or washing your hands. The bracelet can be damaged by soap scum buildup. Also, the chemical present in the pool or salt water can corrode the metal of the bracelet.

Avoid hitting or dropping your band on a hard surface as this may reduce or eliminate its magnetic properties. Never clean the bracelet with a jewelry cleaning machine, as it can also remove its magnetism. Also, cleaning the bracelet with jewelry cleaner can corrode the magnets. You can clean your bracelet with a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth.
