The dream of eternal youth and indestructible health has haunted humanity since time immemorial. The search for the elixir of life, living water, all kinds of magic pills and other fantastic means to improve health and prolong life has occupied (and continues to occupy) many great minds of the world. So far, unfortunately, without success.
A magnetic bracelet should not be considered a panacea for all diseases - such a thing does not yet exist. So why do you need a magnetic wrist bracelet? For the same purpose as other general strengthening and auxiliary means. A magnetic bracelet helps stabilize the body’s condition and can be used in the treatment of many diseases as an aid. Of course, he is not able to cope with a formidable illness alone, but he is quite capable of helping with the means of official medicine.
What are the benefits of a magnetic bracelet?
When talking about the benefits and harms of a magnetic bracelet, you should not go to extremes. Just as an aspirin tablet can moderate a headache, but in large quantities and in the presence of contraindications it can turn into poison, so magnetic bracelets should be considered from the point of view of reasonable use.
Moreover, you need to understand that we are not talking about a drug, an overdose or “side effect” of which becomes obvious almost immediately, but about an adjuvant. The effect of a magnetic bracelet on the body is akin to homeopathy: it has a mild and prolonged effect, but it is also problematic to “overdose” on it.
So, a magnetic bracelet can help with:
- normalization of blood pressure and stabilization of heart function;
- cleansing and strengthening the walls of blood vessels;
- general strengthening and healing of the body;
- removal of waste and toxins (as well as salts from joints and kidney stones);
- improving appetite and the state of the digestive system;
- eliminating the consequences of stress and chronic fatigue;
- weight loss (due to acceleration of metabolic processes);
- relieving nervous tension and improving sleep quality;
- eliminating pain syndrome;
- elimination of inflammatory processes;
- increasing tone, improving performance, gaining vigor.
Don't expect an instant effect from a magnetic bracelet. It stabilizes the body's condition gradually. But no pronounced negative effects are usually observed.
Surgery
There are 3 common ways to remove stones: extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous (percutaneous) nephrolithotomy. The choice of surgical treatment option depends on many aspects. The most important factors are the characteristics of the stone and the symptoms it causes. Depending on whether the stone is in the kidney or ureter, your doctor may recommend different treatment options. In rare cases, stone removal is possible only through open or laparoscopic access.
Surgical treatment is indicated if:
- a large stone, which will make it difficult for it to pass on its own;
- drug therapy does not help;
- infectious complications develop due to the stone;
- there is pain and/or blood in the urine;
- single kidney;
- Kidney function begins to suffer.
What is a magnetic bracelet
Externally, magnetic bracelets look like stylish jewelry (there are women's and men's options). They are made in various designs, but the most common are a la a watch bracelet or a fairly narrow glider chain.
The main materials for the production of “medicinal” jewelry of this type are various metals (most often, stainless steel, tungsten and titanium). Color variations are mostly classic: silver, gold, black. Jewelry alloys are practically not used to make such bracelets (as a last resort, gilding).
But the most important thing is located inside the bracelet. It is on the inside that a system of magnets and (optionally) various additional elements (for ionization, IR radiation, and so on) are mounted. In short, no one will guess that what you wear on your hand is not just a trendy piece of jewelry, but an accessory for restoring health and strength.
Possibility of side effects
Despite their obvious benefits and safety of use, anti-pressure bracelets can still cause side effects. However, the appearance of unpleasant symptoms associated with wearing a magnetic product worries exclusively patients suffering from weather dependence.
The main symptoms indicating that it is necessary to stop wearing a magnetic product include the following:
- dizziness;
- feeling of nausea;
- increased heart rate;
- increased sweating;
- unexplained anxiety, restlessness;
- sleep disturbance (this can be either insomnia or increased sleepiness).
The right decision in such a situation would be to monitor pressure. So, if the use of the bracelet caused a sharp decrease in blood pressure or, conversely, its increase, it is necessary to urgently remove the product and stop wearing it in the future. In a situation where blood pressure readings do not change for the worse, it is recommended not to remove the product, but to let the body get used to it.
Properties of a magnetic bracelet
When asked whether magnetic bracelets help, even ardent adherents of official medicine usually answer positively. And this is not surprising: magnetic therapy devices are installed even in ordinary district clinics, so it is simply impossible to deny the healing effects of magnetic fields. True, an alternating magnetic field is used there, but still!
Even the most avid skeptics are now inclined to believe that wearing a magnetic bracelet can bring some benefits to the body. But our tissues are endowed with low susceptibility to static magnetic fields, so serious researchers are very careful in speaking about this.
According to legend, the discoverer of magnets was a certain shepherd Magnus long before the beginning of our era. He was tending his flocks in the hills of Magnesia (in Asia Minor) and discovered that the metal tip of his staff was reaching for a strange black stone. It was magnetite!
On the left are magnetite crystals, on the right is a bracelet with magnets.
Scientists still cannot accurately explain the nature of the effect of magnetic fields on the body. It is believed that they interact with hemoglobin containing iron molecules, activating blood circulation and oxygenation (oxygen saturation) of all organs and systems. This has a general strengthening effect on the body.
Unofficial medicine is more optimistic on this issue. Since ancient times, a certain “animal magnetism” has been studied, although evidence of its existence has never been found. Research in this direction was carried out by famous medicus and alchemists of the past: Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Mesmer, Gilbert... It was thanks to them that accessories with magnets began to be worn in Europe several centuries ago.
The healing power of magnets was also known in Ancient China - many diseases were treated there by applying magnetic plates to certain areas. Modern TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) connects the effects of magnets with the harmonization of human energy. It is she who prescribes wearing magnets at acupuncture points, which are scattered throughout the human body. They are also available on the wrists.
Traditional Chinese medicine has gained international recognition. The effectiveness of acupressure and acupuncture is recognized even by official medicine. So why not trust the TCM concept regarding magnets?
How to properly wear a magnetic pressure bracelet on your arm
A magnetic bracelet is useful for many diseases: inflammatory, infectious, chronic. It has a beneficial effect on many body systems: hematopoietic, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, endocrine, nervous.
Magnetic bracelets are good for health in principle, but the most important area of their application is migraines, insomnia, joint diseases and, of course, cardiovascular diseases, in particular hypertension.
Correctly wearing a magnetic bracelet on your arm against blood pressure (and other ailments) is easy and simple: the main thing is to choose the right accessory in size. It should fit snugly around your wrist, but not squeeze it like a vice. As a last resort, if it is not possible to try on the bracelet, you should take a larger size, with a margin. Excess glider links can always be removed (either on your own or in a workshop, in a matter of minutes and rubles).
For hypertension of any degree, the bracelet should be worn on the right hand (opposite to the heart), and with diagnosed dextrocardia, the bracelet should be worn on the left. For other diseases and for their prevention, the bracelet can be worn on any hand just above the wrist bone.
Recently, very stylish magnetic cuff bracelets have appeared on sale, often in a vintage or ethnic style. This decoration is very impressive, but choosing it in such a way that the magnets adhere to the skin is quite problematic.
Conservative therapy
Depending on the size and location of the stone, it may take you a while for the stone to pass through your urine. During this period, renal colic may occur, which requires medical supervision. If you have a very small stone, there is a 95% chance that it will pass on its own within 6 weeks. The larger the stone, the less likely it is to pass. There are two common options for conservative treatment: lithokinetic therapy - drug assistance in the passage of stones through the urinary tract and litholytic - drug dissolution of stones if they consist of uric acid.
Even when you don't have symptoms, you may need treatment if:
- the stone continues to grow;
- you are at high risk of forming another stone;
- have a urinary tract infection;
- your stone is very large;
- you prefer active treatment.
Does a magnetic bracelet help with weight loss?
The magnetic bracelet has a restorative effect on the entire body as a whole. When blood circulation and microcirculation are normalized, metabolism also “accelerates.” This is expressed in the acceleration of metabolic processes, stabilization of hormonal levels and activation of the removal of waste and toxins.
Conclusion - a magnetic bracelet is effective for weight loss, but only as an aid. It will not replace the need to normalize nutrition, exercise, or get rid of bad food and other habits.
Don’t think that by wearing such a bracelet, you will instantly gain the slimness and grace of a doe. However, it can slightly speed up the process of losing weight and prevent the kilograms already lost from returning.
A little history
Hematite is a natural mineral of piercing black, gray, reddish or brown color. In essence, it is iron oxide, by nature it is ordinary iron ore, that is, the rock from which the corresponding metal is mined. Its name comes from the Greek “heme”, that is, blood.
There are many varieties of hematite (or red ironstone), differing in both physical and chemical properties, but they all have one thing in common: a very high iron content. It is this that gives the mineral such a mysterious and bewitching metallic shine.
Despite this, hematite became known to people even before the Iron Age. True, our distant ancestors used it for slightly different purposes: many rock paintings that have survived to our times were made with hematite.
Iron ore has been widely used as a dye since ancient times. The great painters did not neglect this property of hematite, mixing paint from ground iron ore. By the way, this is red lead, which is widely used today.
It is believed that the ancient Sumerians were the first to use hematite for making jewelry and magical amulets (and who knew the difference in those days?). The ancient Chinese, Greeks, and Romans also knew about the amazing properties of red iron ore. And the Aztecs made mirrors from blocks of this mineral!
In Ancient Rus', hematite was known as “bloodstone”. Warriors sewed pieces of it into clothes, because it was considered a powerful amulet against enemy arrows and swords. It was also used in medicinal art. Crushed iron ore was sprinkled on wounds: it not only stopped bleeding, but also prevented inflammatory processes. And this, by the way, is a scientifically proven fact!
Good alternative: copper and hematite bracelets
Magnetic bracelets are not the only jewelry with medical (or, rather, health) effects. Copper and hematite bracelets can be used for personal natural therapy.
A copper bracelet is good for improving the condition of the skin, strengthening the skeleton, improving the condition of the joints, accelerating metabolism and reducing the intensity of aging of the body. Copper microparticles, upon penetration into the body, have a pronounced healing effect on it. To enhance the effect, the copper bracelet can be supplemented with magnets.
Steel bracelet with hematite
The basis of the hematite bracelet is the corresponding mineral, which is iron oxide. Due to its composition, it creates a weak magnetic field around itself, which has a beneficial effect on the body.
Take a closer look at the stars' wrists. On many of them you will find hematite bracelets. These are not just trendy jewelry, but natural energy stabilizers, especially needed by people in intellectual work and creative professions.
