| Magnetic Bracelets (Me, Mommy and Matt) |
Last Sunday night, while arranging the buttons we bought at Divisoria, I
saw the elastic string I bought to be use in repairing the magnetic
bracelet I kept in the closet for several years.
Since there are no crochet orders at the moment, I started doing my magnetic bracelet. I added some metallic beads which I bought the last time we visited Divisoria. There are there are some spare pieces so I made another two for Mommy and Matt.
Few
years ago, wearing such accessories is not only for fashion but for medical
purposes called magnetic therapy. This has been popular in ancient times especially
in Egypt. They believe that this can help improve one’s health.
I
searched the net if wearing such accessories can really bring health benefits
and here’s what I got:
“Magnetic fields upon the body help to energize and boost the rate of circulation; stimulating
nutrient rich blood flow thus
invigorating your metabolism by oxygenating
the organs providing
muscle and tissue more oxygen for mental and physical vigor while accelerating the ridding of body
wastes, flushing
out unwanted toxins, releasing more
endorphins, the
body's natural pain killers promoting repair and stimulating faster healing; improving the bodies anti-infective activity and enhancing immunity;
normalizes endocrine production by helping to regulate and balance endocrine
functions; affecting enzyme production for reducing swelling, stiffness and the acidity from wounds helping in reducing
inflammation; stimulating
collagen density in and around joints proven in studies to heal bones and
joints faster and
to help alleviate
chronic pain and invigorate overall well-being." (Vital Wonders)
However, these claims are not yet proven scientifically. Although there are
studies that wearing magnetic bracelet helps reduce pains of patients suffering
from hip and knee osteoarthritis, there is still no clear evidence if this is
due to the magnet or just part of the placebo effect.

For me, wearing such accessories is just part of fashion. The black
shimmering color gives a nice effect. If the claims are true, that will just be
a secondary benefit.
Do you also wear such magnetic accessories?
