Magnetite or magnetic hematite is the mineral form of iron oxide. The mineral occurs naturally in rhombohedral crystals. The Chinese began to use magnetic therapy back in 2,000 BC. Magnetic therapy is used to increase energy, maintain mental health and create a sense of overall well being. Hematite is hypo-allergenic and safe for people with metal allergies.
Benefits
Disease and inflammation cause changes to our cells' electromagnetic vibrations. The theory behind magnetic therapy is that it restores electromagnetic balance between cells. This provides stability within our nervous system and balances the spirit. Magnetite is a grounding stone with positive and negative polarity. It has anti-inflammatory properties and can benefit your circulatory system. Magnetic beads are thought to influence reduction of stress by drawing tension from the body. Oxygen delivery to cells is increased, which supports the healing process of physical discomforts. Native Americans used magnetized beads to treat dental problems, acne and canker sores. Crystal healers recognize magnetite properties for promoting states of mental calm and clarity.
Jewelry
Magnetic therapy products are widely marketed for purchase. The prices can range for products from a few to hundreds of dollars. Beads are turned into jewelry worn on various parts of the body. The jewelry is fashionable while being therapeutic. Necklaces, bracelets, rings and anklets help to improve blood circulation reducing inflammation within the body. Necklaces may aid in treating migraine headaches, inflamed feet, shoulder, neck and back pain. Bracelets and anklets can be worn to relieve tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and numbness in fingers. Belts and wraps are used to support joints like wrists and elbows alleviating pain. Mattress pads containing magnetic beads are currently being marketed to people suffering from back and neck pain.
Consideration
Consult with a physician before wearing magnetic jewelry if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker.
