What Are the Benefits of Magnets for the Ankle & Wrist?

Magnotherapy is a complimentary method of relieving the symptoms associated with certain medical conditions. Magnetic jewelry for the wrists and ankles is made from copper, stainless steel, titanium, tungsten or hematite. There are many theories as to why magnotherapy seems to relieve the symptoms of certain medical conditions, but none of these theories has been concretely proven. That said, magnotherapy is considered to be harmless and many people swear by the rumored benefits, so it may be worth a try.

Inflammation and Pain

• Magnetic jewelry is believed to help ease pain and act as an anti-inflammatory. This is because although it is unknown why, magnetic fields stimulate blood flow and circulation. So, if you wear a magnetic piece of jewelry near a pain point on the body, the increased blood flow will reduce swelling and ease pain. It also helps flush water retention and toxins from that area.

Energy and Stamina

• Magnetic fields help increase circulation and blood flow which in turn means that an increase in oxygen flow to the rest of the body is likely. When the heart, other vital organs and muscle are getting an adequate amount of blood flow it helps increase energy and stamina. This means you feel better and can increase the intensity of your physical activity with less stress being placed on the body.

Wound Healing

• Magnetic fields help increase blood circulation and flow, which in turn can help speed up the healing process when you are injured. For instance, if your ankle is injured, the extra blood and oxygen drawn to the area will help reduce inflammation and increase tissue repair.
