One common addition to bracelets and even certain other forms of jewelry that’s becoming a trend in recent years? Adding magnets, which some people believe brings specific health and circulation benefits. Let’s look at these claims and whether including magnets in your pieces might be a good choice.

Magnetic Bracelet Basics

Simply, the magnetic bracelet is one that has magnets on it. These might be those that are added, such as in the form of basic magnetic cuffs, or they could be more specifically designed pieces. Some even come with gems and pearls.

Claimed Health Benefits

Much of the reason behind this becoming a trend in the fashion jewelry world is the claimed health benefits of those who support using these magnets. Magnetic therapy has been around for literally thousands of years, with the basic idea being that magnets in certain area will increase blood flow to that area, thereby calming any negative effects on muscles or tissues. In turn, the claimed benefits of these magnets are as follows:

  • Removing toxins from the body
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Transferring and delivering nutrients to the body
  • Promoting quality sleep (magnets may help with the production of a hormone called melatonin, which helps with sleep)
  • Healing and improving damaged tissue or bones
  • Helping the body produce more endorphins, or hormones that act as natural painkillers

Should You Use Them?

It’s important to understand that everything we listed above falls under the category of “claims” – magnetic therapy is a large business, but there’s no conclusive opinion on it among medical professionals. In most cases, it can do no harm – as long as it’s used as a complementary form of medicine, of course. For those undergoing radiological treatments, MRI scans, or anyone with a cardiac pacemaker, however, these magnets could be dangerous and should be avoided.
