The credibility of the effectiveness of magnetic bracelets has long been supported by folk medicine and holistic healers.

They did find at the end of the twelve week study, that the magnetic bracelets helped to reduce the pain of the wearers as opposed to those who were given a “dummy” bracelet.

There is one precaution to the study, weak magnetic bracelets had little to no effect on their wearers, just as the “dummy” bracelets did. Be sure to have a strong magnetic bracelet. Make sure the field is between 170 and 200 mTesla.

Magnetic Bracelets Attract Attention

Many people can literally feel the winter chill in their bones and joints. The cold weather and added stress of winter can cause stiff joints to be even more sore, making it difficult to complete everyday chores. But sufferers of such symptoms now have an alternative option that may help alleviate aggravating pain. Magnet therapy offers a new option of treatment that many people say has helped ease their aches and pains. It's a form of therapy that has been used for thousands of years around the world - and is still being used today.

One of the earliest records of humans using the healing qualities of magnets comes from the 111 Century B.C., when the great Aristotle documented his findings on the healing effects of magnets. The fascination with magnets continued into the 1600's when William Gilbert, Queen Elizabeth's doctor, wrote an entire book devoted to the qualities of magnets. Centuries have since passed, but the belief some have in the healing powers of magnets remains.

Sabona of London, the leader in manufacturing and selling of copper and copper magnetic wristbands, is taking advantage of this trend by introducing a new line of magnetic bracelets, the Executive Series. The new line of jewelry not only possesses an attractive and traditional style, but contains a set of magnets that many believe can help relieve the pain of stiff and sore joints. The magnetic theory revolves around the premise that magnets affect the circulatory system and the blood flow in the body. The increased circulation gives the body more of the nutrients it needs from the blood.

The new line of bracelets for men and women are linked pieces plated in gold, silver, or both metals, with a magnet in each link that purports to restore electro-magnetic balance to human cells.

This therapy, now known as bioelectromagnetic therapy is believed to be a way of accessing the body's own electric and magnetic fields through points on the skin.

Some researchers believe that certain types of illnesses are associated with imbalances in the body's biological and magnetic fields. Products such as the Executive Series bracelets are aimed at treating conditions such as joint and muscle pain. Some joint pain is caused by similar, repeated movements of a joint. Golfers, who often experience this kind of pain due to the repetitive motion of their swing, have turned to Sabona in hopes of finding relief from their symptoms. The Executive Series, which was introduced at the International PGA show in Las Vegas, has been a popular choice. Pro golfer Justin Leonard, who began wearing a Sabona copper bracelet after sustaining an injury, has found relief from Sabona's jewelry. "I have worn a Sabona for several years and I believe that it has helped me," Leonard said.

While consulting with your doctor is the best way to begin treating stiff and sore joints and aches and pains, magnetic bracelets may offer an alternative solution to the pain through the chilly winter season and the rest of the year.

Important: Copper wristbands and magnetic products are considered to be unproven remedies. Magnetic products should not be worn next to a watch. Do not use magnet products during pregnancy or if you have an electrical implant such as a pacemaker. Consult with your doctor if you have any questions and continue with regular medical care.
