Tips for Buying Magnets

Tips for buying magnets that work for you

  1. The first thing to consider is what area you want to target, for example, lower back pain.  Look in the Table of Contents for the area and click on that link.  Be sure to buy a magnet that will be wide enough, long enough and deep enough to cover the area you wish to affect. 
  2. Be sure the field strength/penetration will reach the area you wish to target.  The size and materials of the magnet greatly change the field penetration.  A magnet that works great on the surface of the skin is different than a magnet that would affect a large joint or internal organ.

User Tip.......   Depth of Magnet  =  Penetration    ........User Tip

Gauss, is a term used for the measure of magnetic penetration. Think of it as a horse power; one horse gets you there, 100 gets you there faster!

Types of Magnets

Flexible
Flexible magnets are 1 solid magnet, with a gauss of 2450;
they have excellent field penetration.

Ceramic
These magnets are 3950 gauss; the workhorse of our line. 
A good choice for deep field penetration.

Rare Earths
Neodymiums are rare earth magnets and are the strongest available.  Strength for short field (surface) healing.  Stack magnets for a deeper penetration.

Note:  While many research studies support the health and healing benefit of Magnetic Therapy, magnets are not to be used as a substitute for medical treatment.  If you have a serious health condition, please consult a physician. Magnets are not a medical device and should not be used with a pacemaker, defibrillator or any other electrical implant or over an unborn fetus.  Keep magnets at least 4-20 inches away from computer hard drives.
