Just as crystals and semi-precious gemstones have been found to have healing properties, and help balance the Chakras and energy system of the body to promote natural healing and wellness, magnetic products have also been found to have similar effects. Although the response of each individual varies, studies have recorded positive benefits through the use of magnetic materials such as jewellery, and thus Magnetic Therapy is becoming increasingly more popular.
The use and effects of Magnetic Therapy has been documented throughout history. Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and the Emperors of Rome were some of the earliest users of ‘magnetic tools’ used to enhance their body's wellness. Dating as far back as 2000 years ago, the Chinese have tested and verified the use and effectiveness of magnets on the human body for the treatment of various conditions. More recently, clinical studies have shown Magnetic Therapy to be an effective method of relieving pain and discomfort, especially in the joints.
Magnetic Therapy is the application of a magnetic field to the body in an attempt to improve symptoms and treat illnesses. Magnetic Therapy is a safe, non-invasive method of applying magnetic fields to the body for therapeutic purposes. It has been found to speed up healing processes and is also effective for the relief of discomfort caused by joint and muscle pain, as well as inflammation and stiffness, without any adverse side effects. In some cases it has also been noted to improve sleep.
All our physical and mental functions are controlled by electro-magnetic fields produced by the movement of ions within the body. When injury occurs and tissue is damaged, positively charged ions move to the affected area, causing pain and swelling. In order for healing to take place, the injured site must be restored to its natural negative electro-magnetic charge.
Research has indicated that the application of a magnetic field to an injured area helps restore the normal electro-magnetic balance. The magnetic field relaxes the capillary wall as well as surrounding muscle and connective tissues, allowing for increased blood flow. More oxygen and nutrients are transferred to the injury site thus reducing pain and inflammation more efficiently. The overall process restores the normal electro-magnetic balance of the area, relieving pain and inflammation and promoting accelerated healing.
For best results, magnets should be placed or worn as close to the area of pain and discomfort as possible. As the distance from the magnet is increased the strength of the magnets field will thereby decrease and have less of an effect. Magnets have also been found to be very effective placed on acupressure/acupuncture points. However, studies have shown that use of good quality magnets are able to provide relief in various areas throughout the body regardless of placement.
‘Gauss’ is defined as a unit of measurement that defines how many lines of magnetic (flux density) per square centimetre are emitted from the surface of the magnet. The higher the gauss, the stronger the magnetic field.
More people are seeking alternative methods for pain relief for themselves, as well as their pets. Natural pain relievers are becoming increasingly popular due to people’s preference using drug free pain relief that has little or no side effects. Hence the reason for the rising popularity of natural healing methods such as Magnetic Therapy.
Magnets are a natural pain reliever that can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies and treatments. Magnets have been used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, fatigue, sleeplessness, as well as relieve stress and anxiety.

Magnetotherapy is the attempt to improve symptoms and treat illnesses by applying magnetic field(s) to the human body. Those who suffer from chronic pain may be able to achieve pain relief naturally, drug free, and without any known side effects. Magnetic Therapy has been found to be 85% effective for those who use it. The use of magnets have been shown to:
- Alleviate pain
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve circulation
- Relieve motion sickness
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Relieve fatigue and sleeplessness
- Enhance energy levels
Note: Individual response time will vary and can range from a few minutes to a few weeks.
Published clinical studies have found no known side-effects using Magnetic Therapy, making it a safe alternative for the purpose of seeking pain relief. However, some conditions do apply. Those who have a very acidic body are more likely to notice a discoloration in their skin, which usually washes off, or disappears a day or two after removing the magnetic jewellery. Please note that magnetic products should not be used over any open wound. Also, the following people should not use Magnetic Therapy products:
- Those wearing pacemakers, insulin pumps, or other types of implanted medical devices
- Women who are pregnant - if you suspect that you may be pregnant, stop all applications of Magnetic Therapy products and talk to your doctor.
- Those wearing any transdermal drug patch
- Those with an undetermined medical condition
- As in any case, if in doubt, always seek the advice of a qualified medical doctor.
