Magnetic pressure bracelet for men and women: reviews and application

DlyaSerdca → Hypertension → Magnetic bracelet - a modern method of treating hypertension

A magnetic pressure bracelet is a fashion accessory, but its effectiveness is debatable. Let's figure out what kind of accessory this is, and what effect it has on our body?

Such bracelets are most often made of rare earth metal – neodium. But they can have different coatings - steel, palladium, titanium and even gold!

Magnets in bracelets are insert elements, the number of which can vary.

Typically, the bracelet structure contains from 8 to 28 magnets.

The price of such an accessory varies widely. You can find a bracelet for both 1,000 rubles and 20,000 rubles. The pricing policy for products depends to the greatest extent on the manufacturer, as well as on the coating material. After all, a magnetic bracelet can be coated with medical steel, or maybe with white gold. Of course, this will affect its cost and appearance, but, as the manufacturers say, it will not affect its healing properties.

How do magnets affect our body?

The main operating element of the bracelet is a magnet. Accordingly, it’s all about the magnetic field that is created by the bracelet.

Human magnetic field
Every object has its own magnetic field.
The earth has its own magnetic field, a person has his own, a tree has his own, and so on. Proponents of magnetic therapy (a technique that prescribes treatment with magnets) believe that all diseases arise due to the fact that negative shifts occur in a person’s magnetic field. And the shifts are a consequence of the influence of unfavorable environmental factors affecting magnetic fields. Such factors include geomagnetic anomalies, unfavorable environmental conditions, as well as intense physical or any other stressful effects.

Manufacturers of magnetic bracelets claim that these accessories allow you to:

protect the human body from adverse effects;
increase the tone of the body, restore vitality;
normalize sleep;
activate the immune system;
increase the intensity of blood supply to all organs and tissues;
reduce high blood pressure.

Hypertensive patients are probably interested in the last point, according to which pressure bracelets can help get rid of hypertension. The manufacturers of these miracle accessories explain their antihypertensive properties as follows:

magnets located in the structure of the bracelet, like any others, actively interact with iron;
Most of the iron in our body is concentrated in red blood cells - erythrocytes;
therefore, magnets interact with red blood cells, accelerating the speed of their movement through the vessels, preventing their excessive gluing and thereby activating the delivery of oxygen to all anatomical structures;
Due to the activation of red blood cell flow, blood viscosity decreases and the load on the heart decreases.

Thus, the healing properties of these magnetic accessories are explained.

Unlike simple hearing aids, which simply amplify sound, digital hearing aids are mini-computers that process and amplify the sound signal based on individual needs and the level of hearing loss, resulting in clear, natural sound. Thanks to the compression system, quiet sounds become audible without strain, while loud sounds remain comfortable. Multichannel improves speech intelligibility, especially in noisy environments. The headphones can work via Bluetooth.

Advantages and disadvantages of treatment with magnets

Manufacturers claim that if you wear a magnetic bracelet regularly, its effect will be enough to completely get rid of hypertension. But, on the other hand, many doctors question the 100% effectiveness of such treatment.

Let's look at the main pros and cons of magnet treatment from the perspective of traditional medicine.

Positive sides:
the method is relatively harmless and has a narrow list of contraindications;
you can either start such treatment at any time or finish it at any time without causing harm to your health;

the method is recommended to be used as part of complex treatment, because it interacts with drug therapy, increasing its effectiveness;
such a bracelet can perform double duty, acting as a medicine and also as a stylish accessory.
Negative sides:
The main disadvantage is that many patients, upon learning about such bracelets, quit drug therapy, and this immediately negatively affects their condition;
The healing properties of these accessories do not appear immediately; to achieve the effect, they must be worn continuously for a month (this is the minimum period for the positive effect to appear).

As you can see, there are still more positive aspects. The main thing is not to go to extremes, and not to forget about basic drug therapy.

Blood pressure measurements should also be carried out regularly, because this allows you to monitor the course of hypertension.

The robotic nurse can take a 12-channel ECG (and decipher it), measure breathing parameters, conduct non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output and transmit this data where required, while independently selecting a mobile operator with the most stable communication signal.

Similar complexes are already used in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, but after modernization, the diagnostic capabilities of the robot nurse have expanded significantly, and the weight has decreased to 8 kg.

What is the indication for wearing such an accessory?

Based on everything that has already been said above, it is obvious that a magnetic bracelet is indicated for wearing by hypertensive patients. But manufacturers claim that such accessories have a wide range of therapeutic effects and are also indicated for wearing by patients with:

anemia;
vegetative-vascular dystonia;
diabetes mellitus;
rheumatism;
arthritis, as well as arthrosis of various etiologies;
sleep disorders of various origins.

We conclude that such accessories can be worn by many patients, and not just those who suffer from hypertension. The therapeutic effect in all cases is a controversial issue, but the positive effect on the human body is not completely denied.

What is a contraindication to wearing such an accessory?

As mentioned above, such accessories have contraindications for wearing, although their list is quite narrow.

Contraindications are:

presence of an installed pacemaker;
pregnancy, as well as the period of breastfeeding;
severe acute conditions (myocardial infarction, hypertensive crisis, and so on).

The first contraindication is absolute and does not require additional comments.

Pregnancy is a contraindication, since the effect of an additional magnetic field on a developing organism is not yet fully known and it is difficult to predict the long-term consequences of the mother wearing such an accessory. For men, this point, of course, is not relevant.

It is also difficult to predict what effect an additional magnetic field will have on the body of a patient who is in critical condition. It is possible that it will help. But in the same way, the possibility that an additional magnetic field will worsen the patient’s condition cannot be ruled out.

How should you wear a magnetic accessory?

For hypertension, it is recommended to wear the accessory either on the right hand or on the left, alternately changing the side of its location. This allows you to have a balanced effect on the body’s magnetic field, both on the right and left sides. There are no set periods for wearing such bracelets, but there are general recommendations.

The positive effect of the accessory becomes noticeable after a month from the start of wearing it.
It must be worn continuously, 24 hours a day. You should not remove it when taking a bath or shower.
Of course, you can wear it intermittently, however, in this case, the manufacturer does not guarantee a stable pressure reduction.
In order to note changes, it is necessary to regularly measure blood pressure numbers. It is best to perform such measurements daily, at the same time. In this case, you will be able to catch even small, but still positive changes in blood pressure numbers by taking measurements.
The magnetic bracelet should only be worn by one person. The bracelet must have its own owner, because this accessory interacts with the magnetic field of the wearer. If such an accessory is worn by one person and then by another, then the second wearer will inevitably “get” health problems (and not only!) of the first.

Can there be side effects?

As a rule, there are no side effects. But this accessory is not as simple as it might seem at first glance, because, as we said above, it interacts with the magnetic field of the carrier.

Therefore, if you are weather sensitive (hence magnetically sensitive), then your body may react to outside interference and this reaction may manifest itself in the form of a number of side effects. This may include nausea, dizziness, palpitations, increased anxiety, and sweating.

These side effects are an indication that you need to take regular blood pressure measurements. Such measurements will help you find out what level your blood pressure is at and decide what to do next. If the pressure is at the same level, then do not remove the bracelet; the body needs time to “get used to” it. But if measurements show that blood pressure has dropped sharply or, on the contrary, risen, then it is better to remove the additional magnetic field. This happens extremely rarely, but the possibility of sudden changes in pressure as a reaction to magnetic interference is not excluded.

conclusions

Undoubtedly, smart watches and fitness bracelets are useful gadgets for monitoring a person’s physical condition. But they cannot be used as a medical measuring device due to the high error of the indicators. Such a device motivates you to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, encourages you to move more, eat moderately, follow a daily routine and take medications regularly.

Portable cardiac monitors are an indispensable thing in diagnosing paroxysmal arrhythmias, sleep apnea syndrome, monitoring cardiac parameters during the selection of therapy and clarifying a complex diagnosis.

What do patients who have tried such bracelets on themselves say?

Vitaly, 32 years old: “I recently heard from a friend about a bracelet that helps with hypertension and, of course, decided to try it. I have been suffering from high blood pressure for several years now, and constantly taking pills does not make me happy at all. I stopped taking pills and started wearing a magnetic bracelet. After that, my blood pressure began to fluctuate, my blood pressure dropped and rose, and my health worsened. I wore this magnetic thing for two weeks, did not get rid of hypertension, I decided that enough was enough. I went back to the pills, which helped, even though I don’t want to take them all the time.”

Stanislav, 51 years old: “Feedback from my friends who tried magnetic bracelets on themselves encouraged me to purchase such an accessory. Before I started wearing it, I consulted my doctor, who convinced me not to stop taking the medication. The doctor said that a magnetic device alone would not be able to cope with my hypertension, and I definitely need to have regular blood pressure measurements. I started wearing a magnetic bracelet and continued taking my medications. Since the pills control my blood pressure on their own, I didn't expect any effect on my BP numbers. But I noticed changes in general well-being. I became more cheerful, more active, as if I was several years younger! I’ve been wearing this bracelet for 2 months now and don’t want to part with it.”

Veronica, 46 years old: “I have long been looking for an alternative remedy that could help with hypertension. And I found such a remedy! I found a lot of information on the Internet about the beneficial properties of magnetic bracelets and decided to try this treatment method on myself. The magnetic device helped me, I felt the effect after just 2 weeks of wearing it! And after 1.5 months, my blood pressure numbers stabilized at 120/80 mmHg. I never dreamed of such a result! And this is with just one bracelet! I advise everyone who suffers from hypertension to try the magnetic bracelet.”

Evgeniya, 28 years old: “I bought a magnetic bracelet for my mother as a gift. She has long suffered from high blood pressure and tried many treatment methods, but could not find an effective one. I heard good reviews about magnetic bracelets and decided that this method would hardly do any harm and was worth a try. The reviews turned out to be true - the magnets really helped. Mom not only used the bracelet, she also drank herbal infusions and practiced self-hypnosis. However, in my opinion, it was magnets that made the most significant contribution. After all, only after my mother carried them for a month did her blood pressure begin to gradually decrease.”

Yuri, 47 years old: “Numerous reviews of magnetic bracelets became the reason that I purchased this thing myself. I won’t say that the bracelet helped me much. I don’t feel bad, my blood pressure fluctuates from time to time, but it doesn’t affect my well-being. What I like about this bracelet is that it looks stylish and prestigious. I bought myself a gold-plated magnetic bracelet and now I constantly notice how the eyes of others cling to it. I don’t know, maybe in order for the pressure to decrease, you need to wear it longer. I’ve been wearing the bracelet for 2 weeks and have no plans to stop wearing it yet.”
