Magnetic jewelry is the perfect blend of a style statement and a cure! It has the healing properties of the magnet and looks distinct enough to draw attention. Magnetic bracelets, anklets, and necklaces are especially popular.
The science of electromagnetism is quite strange, and therapists say that exposing certain parts of the body to magnetostatic fields shows healing effects. Magnetic jewelry is available in the form of rings, bracelets, pendants, anklets, chains, earrings, necklaces, etc. Therapeutic jewelry has become popular among people for its health benefits as well as for its unique style. However, you should consult your health care practitioner before wearing it, as wrong position of the jewelry might show adverse effects.

Magnetic jewelry has certain properties that help to alleviate health complications. Ideally, the body part that has been diagnosed with an ailment, is exposed to the accessory (also known as the reflexology point), so that it is subjected to the electromagnetic field. This process is known as magnetic therapy.
A permanent static magnet is used for creating the electromagnetic field. The effectiveness of the accessories depends upon certain factors – the penetrating ability of the magnet, the strength, polarity, and the size of the magnet.
There are two principles that work behind the therapeutic cause of magnetic jewelry. The first is increase in rate of blood circulation when the iron in the blood is magnetized. This leads to elevation in the level of oxygen. The magnetic field created through this, might also lead to enhancement of the level of endomorphins produced inside the body, which act as natural painkillers. They also repel the charged ions in the blood, thereby increasing circulation of the blood inside the arteries.
The working of magnetic jewelry is associated with the science of magnetic poles. The North pole of the magnet or the positive end has a relaxing and calming effect on the body while the South pole or the negative end of the magnet is known to have an activating and stimulating effect on the body. As a whole, it ultimately leads to reducing inflammation, pain, and healing body ailments.
People with pacemakers should not wear magnetic jewelry. Pregnant women are also advised to not wear any kind of magnetic accessories. Take your therapist’s advice before opting for these jewelry items to prevent their negative effects.
