Long term chronic pain has devastating consequences and can lead to conditions such as depression and stress. Whilst performing even the simplest day to day task of getting out of bed, going up the stairs or even getting dressed can be extremely challenging, and for some, impossible.

Taking painkilling drugs, the number one treatment for pain is what many of us do to get relief. But we have to bear in mind of all the side effects that our body suffer as a consequence of taking drugs; from nausea and vomiting to severe gastric bleed.

But you don’t have to put yourself through those conditions. There is a completely natural way of relieving pain without any harmful side effects. And best of all, with t a little bit of guidance you can apply this therapy all by yourself.

Although no two people have the same pain threshold, and different pain treatments suit different individuals, magnetic therapy healing has been very effective in relieving pain the natural way for a significant amount of sufferers. Scientists who have studied the effects of magnetic therapy have estimated that its effectiveness in relieving pain is as high as 85%; that is considerably higher than many over the counter painkilling drugs. Plus this pain relief comes at no risk to your health as there are no known side effects to using therapeutic magnets.

So what is static magnetic therapy then? It is simply the application of sufficiently strong therapeutic magnets onto your skin at the point of pain. The magnets have to be at least 800 Gauss to have any healing or pain relieving effects. The magnetic field created penetrates through your muscles and tissues to the stimulate blood flow and reducing inflammation at the painful area. As inflammation gets less and less and healing is promoted due to the increased blood flow, pain relief is achieved.

There is a wide range of magnetic therapy products available to treat pain on virtually any part of the body. You have magnetic bracelets for wrist, hand and arm pain relief; magnetic straps and belts that you can apply on different part of the body such as your legs, back, elbows, thighs; magnetic mattress pads and pillow pads that you can use at night time to sleep on and relieve pain.

You also have magnetic products for animals such as magnetic dog collars and pet bed pads and even magnetic rugs and boots for your horse! Magnetic therapy is just as effective on animals as they are on humans and just as safe too.

So if you are looking for natural pain relief without drugs or surgery, it is well worth trying some magnetic therapy pain relief products. After all you have nothing to lose but your pain!

For example, if a magnetic bracelet contains 10 X 3000 gauss magnets, does that mean
the total magnetic strength of that bracelet is 30,000 gauss?

The answer is YES and NO!

The more important question here is does it matter?

Here’s how Kat, a magnetic therapist with years of experience addresses this confusion,
when she was asked the following question by Ram, who just could not decide which
magnetic bracelet will be best to treat his condition.

——————————————————
Dear magnetic therapist,
If I have a magnetic bracelet with 2,000 gauss in every link and it has 10 links;
Is that considered 20,000 gauss or 2,000 gauss for the whole bracelet.
Thank you
Ram
——————————————————-

And the answer was

Hi Ram,

When you have a magnetic strength of 2,000 gauss per magnet in a bracelet,
and 10 magnets in the entire magnetic bracelet this means that you have a
penetrating strength of 2,000 gauss but at 10 different points.

So the amount of magnetic field that penetrates the skin at 2,000 gauss
will be the same but it will be all round the wrist at each point of the
magnet.

If you had a bracelet with only 2 magnets in and each one measured 2,000
gauss you would have the same penetrating depth as the bracelet with 10
magnets in, but you would only have it at 2 points on the skin instead of
10.

By having a magnetic bracelet with 10 magnets in you don’t make it 10
times as strong, there would simply be more magnets in contact with the
body.

Regards
Kat

Basically, the more magnets you have in a magnetic product, a wider magnetic
field will be created. And the stronger the individual magnets are, the deeper the magnetic
field will penetrate the body.

So, there you have it. When deciding to choose a magnetic bracelet or any other magnetic
product for that matter, go for the one with highest number of individual magnets and also
the highest strength per magnet.

And here are some magnetic bracelets that just fit the bill…

Today magnetic therapy has become much practical and it is fast again becoming a preferred method of healing and pain relief amongst complimentary and alternative medical practitioners.Thanks to the development of new alloys, small metal plates of relatively high magnetic power are being manufactured. One such alloy is Neodymium which is also called rare earth magnet.

It is the preferred type of magnet used for healing purposes and can achieve very high magnetic strength. A 5mm in diameter neodymium rare earth magnet can have a surface gauss of up to 3000. The only drawback of neo magnets is that they do tend to rust with time.

Therefore, to increase their lifespan when used in magnetic jewellery, neo magnets are usually epoxy coated.If you want to gain pain relief quickly and permanently when using static magnetic therapy treatments, observe the following rules.

Firstly, and by far the most important rule of all, is to place the medical magnets directly over the point of pain.

If that is not possible due to the pain being in an awkward area for example on the knee cap, then place the magnetic product as close as possible to the point of pain. In this situation it will be using a magnetic knee strap either just above or below the knee cap.

Secondly, wear your magnetic product at all times if possible. This is nearly as crucial as the first point and is the main reason why magnetic therapy treatments fail to relieve pain. One should aim to wear their healing magnets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week especially in the first four to five weeks of the treatment. That way, the magnets will be permanently working towards relieving inflammation and reducing pain.

Thirdly, use the highest strength healing magnets that you can get. These magnets will produce the deepest penetrating magnetic field which will get right down into the muscles and tissues. Such magnets are almost always required when treating long term chronic pain.

Fourth, use as many therapeutic magnets as possible together. This will produce a wider magnetic field and hence will cover a larger painful or injured area on the body. For example, if you are buying a stainless steel magnetic bracelet, try to get one that has a magnet in each link and a bracelet that has the smallest link size. That way you are getting the most magnets for your money. Remember you cannot overdose on magnets irrespective of how many you use.

And remember; always make sure you ask what the strength of each healing magnet is in the magnetic products. You need magnetic products that contain magnets that are at least 800 gauss each or you might as well not bother!

Magnets worn at the point of pain achieves great result as the magnetic field can penetrate deeper into the painful area compared to healing magnets that are worn further away from the point of pain. This very important fact is slowly becoming common knowledge amongst users of magnetic therapy treatments. But what is still little known is that if you drink magnetic water and sleep on healing magnets too, the effectiveness of this natural treatment is increased tenfold.

When you drink magnetic water each day, the overall healing effect of the magnets placed on your body has been measured to be as much as ten times greater. And best of all it is perfectly safe to drink magnetized water when taking medication, there are no adverse effects on the body whatsoever. It is totally safe, chemical and drug free. Obviously, when you drink magnetized water you are tackling your problem from inside and outside at the same time. This 2 sided approach will most definitely increase the strength of the magnetic field at the point of pain plus it will also speed up the healing process by increasing the absorption rate of the magnetic field.

Magnetic water will also detoxify your body, eliminate excess fluid and waste. But what’s even more important, it will increase your energy levels and boost your circulation. Therefore aim to drink at least 4 glasses of magnetic water a day to improve your wellbeing.

The human body heals, recuperate and rejuvenate mostly at night time whilst we are asleep and sleeping on healing magnets boost this process even more. In brief, whilst you are sleeping your body enters it’s most productive healing phase. Because you are asleep your organs do not need so much oxygen and this allows the body to concentrate on repairing the damage to your body.

That’s why when you sleep on very high strength magnets (over 2,000 gauss per magnet) the magnetism is very rapidly absorbed into the tissues and blood stream, up to 3 times quicker than during the day. What this means is the blood flow will be radically improved, so much so that almost all the excess fluid and toxins (puffiness and swelling) in your body will be drawn away and safely excreted, plus the increased blood flow will provide any damaged areas with all the essential healing nutrients needed to kick start the healing process.

So if you are using magnetic therapy products that is taking a long time to relieve your pain, you can make the natural healing magnets work faster by drinking magnetized water and sleeping on a magnetic pad.

In today’s society, many of us suffer from the nagging aches and pains located in our muscles and joints. Whether our pains are from diseases like multiple sclerosis, arthritis or fibromyalgia, or we have pulled muscles whilst doing our daily jobs or acquired sprains from sports injuries, natural therapies such as hot or cold compress applications or massage will offer us pain relief which may get us back to what we love most - enjoying life itself!

Here’s how to start reducing the pain you feel right now in the next few hours.

 Firstly, apply gentle massage:

You do not need to be a trained massage therapist to do this. Simply ‘knead’ the painful area with your thumbs for around 10 minutes. You will immediately start to stimulate the blood flow and encourage more oxygen and pain killing agents to the area.

Massage soothes muscle pain and encourages healing in damaged tissues, BUT the effects are only short term and ideally you should aim to massage the area gently for 10 minutes 4 times a day. If you are unable to massage with your hands (because you have pain and stiffness in your fingers) you can use a special Nukkles massager or an Omni ball massager instead. (more…)
