It was important back in 2500 BC for ancient Sumerian women to wear bracelets and other jewelery to show off the wealth of their husbands. They were used as a status symbol.
They were also important to Ancient Egyptians in 2000 BC. Along with status they also added religious connotations.
Where did the word "bracelet" come from? During the Grecian era, soldiers wore leather bands around their forearms for defensive purposes. These bands often saved injury from a sword or a spear. Sometimes gemstones, gold or silver was used to decorate them. They called them "Bracels". This name came from the Latin word "Brachium" for arm.
The Grecian woman thought these looked very attractive and thought they would look good on them too, but they made a more feminine smaller version, which they called "Bracel-ets".
Now a brief history of Magnetic Therapy
The word "magnet" comes from Greek origin when a shepherd discovered a rock that attracted iron, in a place called Magnesia. This iron ore deposit is now called Magnetite.
The Greeks recognized the potential of using the rock for healing purposes. Aristotle himself declared that these 'magnets" could be used for healing headaches and other aches anywhere on the body.
Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, who was of Greek ancestry, wore a magnetic charm on her forehead to which she attributed her beauty and youthful appearance.
So why should you consider wearing a Magnetic Bracelet?
Seven Reasons How Magnetic Bracelet Will Help You.
- Increase blood flow by 300% The hands and the feet are the furthermost extremities from the heart. So by increasing the blood flow in any, or all of these areas it will give the circulation system a boost. Remember the right hand is the furthermost from the heart, so that is the preferred wrist to wear a magnetic bracelet on.
- To help with 24 hour treatment. The magnetic bracelet is a very important part of the overall healing process. Particularly if used along with other magnetic therapy products such as the magnetic mattress. The bracelet will continue to assist healing throughout the day, giving the circulation system a much needed boost, and the mattress will continue throughout the night. The very best scenario would be to wear a bracelet on each wrist for peripheral circulation and also use magnetic innersoles in your shoes. Then hop into a bed with a magnetic mattress pad. Then you are covered 24/7.
- It can help to relive pain in other parts of the body. If a magnetic bracelet is the only product you own, it is the one product with the most healing potential. If worn on the right hand (furthermost from the heart) it can in fact increase the natural endorphins (the bodies natural feel good chemicals) and may on occasion even relieve pain in other areas of the body. This doesn't happen all the time but there are many reported cases to lead us to believe its possibility.
- Bracelets can also be worn on the ankle. This is more than likely for the girls. For people with ankle or knee problems, wearing the magnet bracelet on the ankle will improve blood flow to that area. This can be very beneficial in hot or warm weather when a person may choose not to wear shoes with a magnetic innersole, but prefer to wear sandals or bare feet. The bracelet or anklet will do the same work.
- Can help with a multitude of health problems A magnetic bracelet will be able to help many different problems you may suffer from. Carpal tunnel, tendinitis, and particularly arthritis to name a few. The bracelet will increase blood flow by up to 300% reducing inflammation, reducing pain and allowing more movement.
- A magnetic bracelet has a 2,000 Gauss magnet in every link. If you purchase from a reputable supplier, each link should have an individual magnet of around 2,000 Gauss. Because the bracelet encircles the whole wrist with powerful magnets all around, it will help the blood flow throughout the whole area.
- They look really good! A magnetic bracelet will look just as attractive if not more so, than any other bracelet you have in your jewel box. Only this one will have benefits other than its appearance.
