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

Tips for wearing a magnetic bracelet

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

Identify the poles

Read the instructions accompanying the bracelet to identify the positive and negative sides. Therapists generally recommend that people place the negative pole of the magnet next to the skin.

Consult a reflexology map

Get a reflexology book at a local library or bookstore. Review the reflexology map and learn about wrist acupressure points. Wear the bracelet on your wrist that contains the acupressure points for the affected area. For example, the acupressure points for the spine are located near the left hand, so wear the cuff 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 cuff too tight can cause discomfort and skin irritation due to accumulation of moisture or sweat.

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

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

Avoid hitting or dropping your bracelet on a hard surface as this can 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 soap solution and a soft cloth.
