I am currently wearing one of these magnetic bands for pain Relief, the place i got it one said its one of the ideal on the market. Apart from strength of the magnet, what else would come into consideration when choosing which was the best in magnetic therapy
Answer:
You would also need to know which polarity you needed. Depending on the malady you may need positive or negative polarity. You can check with a naturopath or call some local chiropractors and ask if they work with magnets. There are some quick tests they have the ability to do to tell you which polarity you need.
Answer:
Magnetic strength is measured in Gauss. The higher the Gauss rating, the stronger and more effective the magnet will be. Magnets can be compared to light bulbs. 40 watt bulbs don’t shine as brightly as 100 watt bulbs. The same is true of magnets, the higher the Gauss, the stronger the magnet will be.
The magnetic field has the ability to penetrate through the skin. Correspondingly, different magnets have different depths of penetration through the skin. A ceramic magnet might have a depth of penetration of 1 to 1.5 inches. If a nerve is superficial (near the surface of the skin) a ceramic magnet will be sufficient to control the pain impulse of that nerve. However, if the affected nerve is 2 -4 inches deep, a ceramic magnet will be of tiny value. Only the neodymium magnets have the capability to penetrate that deeply.
You should also be looking into a supplement to be taking at the same time as using the magnets. There is an aloe plant from South Africa that works wonders with joint pain. The aloe is stronger than the more common know aloe vera and it contains more amino acids. The African aloe, aloe ferox can be found in the USA in the form of Prosit capsules. Do a search for “african cures aloe ferox prosit” and you should find it on the web, I know it is available on amazon and a handful of other sites like http://www.africancleanse.com
