Magnetic Therapy Natural Pain Relief

Magnetic bracelets for pain relief

Magnetic therapy products are becoming very popular as a treatment for pain. There are hundreds of online retailers all offering supposedly high strength magnetic products. But as an end user,  how do you know who is telling the truth about the strength of their magnetic product. Here’s the answer.

Hi,

How do I know the magnetic braclet I purchased, has the said amount of gauss, 4 x 1500? I really don’t know what I’m buying, I’m taking the vendors word. Is there a test for magnets easily accessible. I want to purchase a magnetic pillow cover and mattress pad, what do you suggest? thank you Pat Johnston

There really isn’t an easy accessible way to measure magnetic strength.
There is an instrument for it but it is a very large expensive piece of
equipment and really used by manufacturers or for industrial use.

In my opinion the best way to be sure you are getting a good quality
product is by asking questions. A reputable retails of magnetic products
will be able to tell you the strength of their magnets and whether it is a
surface strength or the manufacturing strength (some times known as a core
gauss strength).

It is important to know because a core strength of a magnet is the measurement
taken when the magnet was made. The surface strength will be much
less than the core strength but it is the surface strength that the body
will be absorbing. Don’t use magnets that have a surface strength of
anything less that 800 gauss as it will not be strong to even penetrate
the skin. 800 gauss is seen as a minimum strength, 1,400 to 2,000 is about
mid range and anything above 2,000 gauss is a high strength product.

I can appreciate that it can be easy to make these figures up if there is
no way for the general public to check. I would ask the retailer questions
about magnetic therapy to see if they seem knowledgable. If they can
answer your questions acurately and calmly and don’t try and sell you a
bracelet as a treatment for everything then they are probably genuine.

The important thing to remember is that magnets are relative to where they
are worn; so a bracelet will treat pain and inflammation in the wrist and
hand, a magnetic knee strap will treat the knee, a magnetic necklace will
treat the neck and so on. If the retailer doesn’t follow these guidelines
or can’t answer any of your questions or seems that they don’t really know
much about magnetic therapy then perhaps it is best not to trust them.

Trust your judgment, there are qualified therapists out there and there
are people who really do know what they are doing so don’t be afraid to
ask.

Kat
