Wearing magnetic jewelry is thought to be a natural, holistic method for easing pain and discomfort. Magnetic therapy has been around since 2000 BC and is rooted in Chinese medicinal practices.

There are no side effects to wearing magnetic jewelry and it is safe to wear any number of magnets - or magnetic jewelry items - at any magnetic strength.

Wearing magnetic jewelry does not CURE ailments. It is only used to ease symptoms.

PLEASE NOTE: Magnetic jewelry should not be worn by persons with implantable pacemakers, defibrillators, infusion pumps or other electromechanical devices and should be kept at least 18" away from these devices. Magnetic jewelry should not be worn during pregnancy.

* Assists in removal of waste products from the blood
* Increases energy and strength
* Alleviates migraines and headaches
* Improves overall health

Results will vary from person to person. Some people will notice a change in 48 hours and others it could be 2 weeks. All should see a difference within 4-6 weeks. During this initial period, magnetic jewelry should be worn 7 days a week and 24 hours a day, if possible. The more consistently the jewelry is worn, the more consistent and noticeable will be the results.

Gauss is one of the factors used in determining the overall power of a magnet. It is the term for magnet strength interpreted as the surface reading or the potential of the magnetic material in a closed circuit. The surface reading is what is important to know when wearing magnetic jewelry and is how I list the gauss on all of my jewelry.

When purchasing your new magnetic jewelry, you want to ensure the strength of the magnetic beads is powerful enough to penetrate the skin. You want to only wear jewelry with 800 gauss or greater. Any less and it is likely you will not receive the benefits provided by the magnets. There is no need to worry about the gauss being too high as magnets are safe and do not have any adverse side effects.

Hematite in its natural form is Iron Oxide with small amounts of Titanium. Gemstone quality hematite is an opaque stone that looks similar to metal. While natural hematite does have some natural magnetism, it is usually not enough to measure. Natural hematite is rare and very expensive to mine.

Magnetic hematite is a composite material made up of natural hematite, magnetite and small amounts of other minerals such as copper, titanium and aluminum. The resulting material can be permanently magnetized -- unlike natural hematite.

Magnetic hematite and natural hematite looks and reacts to tests very similarly. It even has the same chemical composition. The result is that it is very hard to tell the two apart.

It is important that your magnetic bracelet or anklet fit correctly. If it does not, a large percentage of the power will be lost leaving you with an item that is not effective. It should fit snugly, but not tightly. If it is too loose, you will lose the power of the magnets. If it is too tight, it could cause swelling.

To ensure you get the right fit, first measure your wrist or ankle with a tape measure. Wrap it leaving the tape measure flat and tight. Then, add 1/2 inch to the measurement. This should allow for a snug fit, but also give you room for a bit of a gap giving your wrist or ankle some "breathing room".

Your magnetic hematite jewelry should be removed before showering, bathing, or swimming. Chlorine and salt water may damage the jewelry. Do not put in any type of jewelry cleaner or jewelry cleaning machines. To clean magnetic hematite jewelry, wipe with a damp cloth using a mild soap, a rinse cloth to wipe off the soap, and then wipe dry.
