Ultimate Magnetic Bracelets Guide 2022

Magnets have been around for many decades because of their healing properties, and it is for this reason that magnetic bracelets were created. Not only are they stylish, but they also offer several health benefits such as relieving pain and other ailments.

In this guide, we’ll focus on what is a magnetic bracelet, the benefits of wearing magnetic bracelets, the types of magnetic bracelets, different sizes, etc. When we’re done, you will know everything you need to, about magnetic bracelets.

Let’s jump right into it!

What is a Magnetic Bracelet?

When therapeutic magnets are integrated into bracelets, they are known as magnetic bracelets. A magnetic bracelet is an effective way to manage and treat pain in the body.

If you’re experiencing pain in your hands, fingers, wrist, and arms, then wearing a magnetic bracelet will help to relieve some of the pain.

It is important to note that the area in which the bracelet is worn will receive the most pain relief. So, if you are experiencing pain in your feet, legs, and wrists, then an ankle bracelet might be the best choice. Two reasons explain why magnetic bracelets work in the area they are worn:

• Therapeutic magnets create a magnetic field that penetrates the body/tissues and eventually loses its strength the further it travels. So, the closer it is to the injury, the better.
• The generated magnetic field penetrates the body and improves the blood flow around the area it is located. Improved blood flow means improved healing. So, it is suggested to wear your magnetic bracelet in the area you are experiencing pain.

The use of magnetic bracelets is a type of Magnetic therapy known as Static magnetic field therapy. This involves applying a permanent magnet to an area of your body to relieve pain. It could simply involve wearing a piece of magnetized jewelry or just sleeping with a piece of magnet inside your pillow. Static magnetic therapy is utilized in several products, a few of which include:

• Jewelry-such as magnetic bracelets, necklaces,rings
• Body wraps and belts
• Insoles
• Mattress toppers
• Horse wraps, rugs, and boots
• Pet collars, beds, and coats
• Pillows

What do magnetic bracelets do for your body?

Magnetic bracelets have many benefits to the body such as relieving pain. Recent studies have shown that as an adjunct therapy, it is capable of treating:

• Multi sclerosis (MS)
• Tissue and bone injury
• Osteo and rheumatoid arthritis
• Carpal Tunnel
• Tennis Elbow
• Psychiatric disorders
• Stress
• Sleep disorders
• Neuropathy
• Pain syndromes
• Genital pain

Of course, these are just a few of the health conditions it has been proven to cure and/or improve. Scientists suggest that it is because magnetic bracelets provide anti-inflammatory effects. If you haven’t already been convinced of the health benefits that magnetic bracelets provide, let me give you some additional info. Not only has magnetic therapy been proven to cure these disorders, but it has also been found to:

• Reduce inflammation
• Enhance immune function
• Reduce pain
• Correct energy imbalances
• Increase circulation for old injuries.

If you haven’t gotten your piece of magnetic bracelet, you might want to look into it.

How do magnetic bracelets work?

One thing that you might not have known is that your body is made up of naturally occurring electric and magnetic fields. Every molecule in your body contains traces of magnetic energy. The theory suggests that when your body is experiencing problems, it is because your magnetic fields are affected or out of balance. Therefore, if you put a magnet (magnetic field) near your body or the affected area, the issue will eventually resolve itself, as your magnetic fields are realigned.  

So, when you wear a magnetic bracelet, the magnetic field generated by it stimulates the magnetic field in the general area of the pain. The result is the release of the body’s natural painkillers which provide natural relief. Studies have shown that magnetic bracelets are very effective in reducing pain in the hip and knee.

Types of Magnetic Bracelets

1. If by material, usually have copper magnetic bracelets, stainless steel titanium bracelets, pure titanium magnetic bracelets, wood magnetic bracelets, ceramic magnetic bracelets and tungsten magnetic bracelets.

Check the difference between these 6 materials in this article.

2. There are three main types of magnetic bracelets by bracelet’s construction: Link Bracelets, Cuff Bracelets, Bangles, Expanding Bracelets

Let’s talk about them briefly.

Links bracelets

These are made up of links and a fold-over clasp making them easy to put on and off. You can easily adjust the size by adding or removing the links with the right tool. It is similar with watch band.

Cuff bracelets

Cuffs are circular bracelets that have an opening that you can put your wrist through. You can then fasten it by squeezing the ends together.

Bangles

Bangles are usually a closed, rigid circular design with a fold-over clasp making them easy to put on and take off.

Expanding bracelets

This is a bracelet that is comprised of links that go around the wrist. As the name suggests, expanding bracelets will expand over the palm as you put them on and off. You can easily adjust the size by adding or removing the links with the right tool. 

Size info of magnetic bracelets

Link bracelets size

For men, the standard size is 8 inches to 8.5 inches. While the size for women we offer from 6.5inches to 7.5inches. It is advised that you get a bracelet that is ½ to 1 inch greater than your wrist size. Your magnetic bracelet must fit properly for optimum results.

But as link bracelets could take off and add links with the tool, so you could even make them be anklets if you want.

Cuff bracelets size

Most of our cuff bracelets in stock are Medium size 6.7inches.

Expanding Bracelets

Bangles

The standard internal size for bangles is 63-65mm, and this usually fits the wrist of most women. You can get it in large with an internal diameter of 67mm or larger.

How to take links off magnetic link bracelets?

If you are wondering how to remove the links from your bracelet, then here are a few steps.

1) Get yourself a pair of bent long-nose pliers. These are usually used by jewelry crafters.

2) Determine the number of links you want to remove. It is best to underestimate the figure.

3) It’s time to open the links. Find the seam on the link and use the pair of long-nose pliers to hold the link on one side of the seam.

4) Gently twist the link open by moving the ends sideways. Never try to pull it open forcefully. At the other end of the chain, repeat the process for that link.

5) After you have removed the extra chain, you will need to reattach the chain. Ensure to measure it up against yourself to see if it is the right fit before putting it back together. Following steps 3 and 4, open a link at one end of the new chain. Hook the link unto the link at the other end of the chain and close the link by reversing the motion.

All you should know about Magnets

Types Of Magnets

There are several types of magnets in existence based on the materials used to make them. However, two main types are used in magnetic therapy jewelry: Hematite Magnets and Neodymium magnets

Hematite is a mixture of Oxide and iron. It can be drafted into large shapes which retain their magnetic strengths for several years. While the magnet is weak and usually make to be hematite beads.

Neodymium magnets are comprised of boron, iron, and neodymium which is rare. They are very strong despite their small size and mass. They have 10x the magnetic power of hematite magnets and last for many years.

Neodymium Magnets have many types, usually, we use the strong power magnets type: N48 N50 N52. N52 is the strongest which cost is also much.

Magnets Strength: How to measure magnet strength?

Magnetic strength is dependent on several factors: 1) the GAUSS reading of each magnet, 2) the size of the magnet, and 3) the number of magnets.

Each magnet is given a gauss rating, a unit of measurement relating to the strength of the magnet. It is dependent on the density and number of lines of magnetic force seen from a magnet. In other words, it is the power of the magnet to pull things towards itself (pulling power). A Gauss meter is used to measure surface gauss strength.

The size of the magnet is proportional to its pulling strength. The larger the magnet, the more mass it contains making it possible to store larger amounts of magnetic energy. It is possible for a larger magnet with a lower gauss reading to have more pulling power than a smaller magnet with a higher gauss reading.

And of course, the more magnets you have, the more magnetic power will be generated. So, all these factors work hand in hand to determine the strength of a magnet. But magnetic strength is measured using a Gauss meter.

Magnet Pole

All magnets have a North pole and a South pole. Opposite poles attract, meaning the North pole attracts the South pole. Similar poles repel, meaning South repels South, and North repels North.

Defining the North pole: The earth is a big magnet surrounded by a magnetic field. The north pole is defined as the end of the magnet pointing to the geographical North pole of the Earth. This is also suggesting that the Earth’s geographical north pole is a magnetic south pole.

To much understand magnets pole during production, we usually said: North pole touch to skin or south pole touch to the skin.

Surface Gauss Reading vs Manufacturers Rating or Grade?

There is generally a misunderstanding about what is meant by the Surface Gauss Rating of a magnet and the Manufactures rating or grade. One figure is usually larger representing another way of measuring the magnetic strength.

Surface rating: This is measured on the surface of the magnet and is dependent on the density of lines of magnetic force/flux generated outside the body of the magnet. This is usually the reading used in magnetic therapy and jewelry as this is indicative of the penetrating ability of the magnet.

Manufacturers Rating: This measurement is regarding the magnetic field strength within the core of the magnet. It is measured on the manufactures magnetizing equipment and is used to represent the grade of a magnetic material. This reading is higher than the surface gauss rating.

Are more magnets effective?

Yes, using more magnets is generally more effective and can increase the results of therapeutic treatment. However, this will be dependent on the size of the magnet, the strength of the magnet, and the location/area of the treatment.

By adding or combing one magnet with another, one bigger magnet will basically be created with a stronger magnetic performance. 

FAQs On Magnetic Bracelets

What is the best magnetic bracelet?

I cannot say with any confidence that there is one magnetic bracelet that is the best, but you can find suitable ones that are perfect for you. Depending on your needs, your style, and the material you want, you can find one just for you.

We recommend copper magnetic bracelets for arthritis, as it has double therapy. Many clinic doctors also choose it as medicine alternative choice.

When you are a golf player, we recommend you titanium magnetic bracelet, as it is light and will not affect your swing.

How do you wear magnetic bracelets the right way?

Some people like to wear their jewelry loose while others might like them close-fitting, it’s all up to personal preference. The ideal place to wear your bracelet is on the wrist without anything obstructing it. It should fit comfortably on your hand, not too tight and not too loose. One recommendation I would give is to wear your bracelet loose enough to fit a finger in between it and your skin.

While the effect of the therapeutic jewelry will largely depend on you, the wearer, and the number of magnets present, here are a couple of guidelines I’ll share with you to maximize the effects.

1) Place the jewelry where you are experiencing pain: For example, if you’re experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome, then you might want to get yourself a magnetic bracelet to target the pain in your wrist. Follow this principle for the pain you might be experiencing elsewhere.

2) Skin contact: Ensure the magnetic jewelry is in direct contact with your skin, especially the affected area. However, do not wear it directly on a wound.

3) Water Contact: Try to purchase water-resistant magnetic therapy jewelry if you will be working around water. Titanium, stainless steel, and silicone magnetic jewelry are great options.

How long before magnetic bracelets start to work?

Studies have shown that some people experience results within minutes. However, the majority express that they get relief within hours, and some not until several weeks. There is no specific timeframe, but you can be assured that it works.

Who wears magnetic bracelets? 

Almost everyone can wear magnetic bracelets. Magnets are natural resources from the earth and all research indicates so far that they are a safe form of therapy. According to a study done in 1987 by the World Health Organisation (WHO), magnets used in magnetic therapy have no detrimental effect on the body. So, there’s no need to worry.

If you want something stylish with medicinal properties, then a magnetic bracelet might be for you.

Who should not wear magnetic bracelets?

As with any other treatment, there are general precautions that should be taken when dealing with magnetic therapy and magnetic bracelets. While it is generally safe for majority use, a few cases where it is advised against include:

• Patients with an epilepsy history
• Patients taking blood-thinning medications
• Pregnant women
• Individuals wearing electronic medical devices, such as pacemakers
• Patients with insulin pumps
• Individuals with metal implants

If you fall under any of the categories listed above, then it is in your best interest to avoid magnetic bracelets. In addition, avoid wearing magnetic bracelets near or on fresh wounds and remove magnetic jewelry before doing an MRI or X-ray.

There is not enough evidence that prohibits the use of magnetic bracelets by older children, but it is advised that you consult your doctor first.

What is the magnetic bracelet side effect?

If you are a healthy individual, then it is highly unlikely that you will experience any side effects. However, people who have underlying health issues should avoid wearing magnetic bracelets before they get a check-up at a licensed doctor. Some side effects include:

• A side effect of wearing a magnetic bracelet is the fact that it can boost cell production. This means that it is bad news for those with cancer and those who are pregnant. It is likely to affect your treatment as a cancer patient and has the potential to cause deformities in the fetus.
• Another side effect is the possibility of feeling dizzy for the first couple of days while wearing the bracelet. People have also reported that they also get a warm tingling feeling the first time they wore it. This is because of the improved blood circulation that is influenced by the magnets, so the body needs time to adjust.
• Some get red skin or rashes which is a sign of an allergy to either the magnets or the type of metal the bracelet is made of.

So we recommend you consult with your doctor first and choose the cuff magnetic bracelet (magnets less) or hematite bracelets (magnets not so strong) to see if you can bear it.

Do magnetic bracelets lose their strength?

Yes, and no. There is little effect of time on permanent magnets. With proper care, magnetic bracelets can last a lifetime. While the bracelets might scratch or break down if not taken care of it.

How Long Should I Wear a Magnetic Bracelet?

That’s up to you. Some people use magnetic bracelets only when they are feeling pain while others wear them all the time. There are no drawbacks involved with wearing magnetic bracelets for an extended period.

If anything, the longer you wear them, the more your overall health will increase.

Can I wear a magnetic bracelet when having a bath?

We recommend you take it off, as the magnets will be wet and rusted. Even we try to seal it with strong epoxy.

Especially copper will be oxidized easily in moist place.

Can I wear a magnetic bracelet on both wrists?

Yes, it is possible to wear a magnetic bracelet on each wrist for a stronger effect. In most cases, one bracelet is normally enough. I would suggest consulting your medical doctor before trying to use two or more.
