Magnetic therapy has long been used for its healing properties. The early Chinese and ancient Grecians considered the use of magnetic rocks, or lodestones, to relieve pain and discomfort in the body.
Magnetic jewelry addresses the need of placing a magnet over a painful area for a long period of time. The magnetic necklace is believed by some to be effective in alleviating certain pains in our upper body including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and migraines.

People use magnets when they want relief from a number of aches and pains and chronic conditions.
While there is no documented medical evidence of healing by magnets, the long-held belief persists among many, and it is possible to find anecdotal testimony to good results.
Alleviating Pain
Some people believe that magnets block pain signals of nerves from reaching the brain, so that neck pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia or other conditions may be eased through the use of magnetic necklaces.
Reducing Stress and Depression
Another major use of magnetic necklaces is aimed at stress reduction and treating depression. Some believe that magnets, especially used at night, may increase melatonin levels. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland which has somewhat of a calming effect on the body and controls the body's sleep cycles. Increasing melatonin results in more relaxation, which naturally increases energy.
Other Benefits Claimed
Author of Biomagnetic Therapy, Gary Null, concludes that in addition to relieving discomfort and pain, magnets may also reduce inflammation, and help with a number of ailments.
Magnets may utilize a blood cell's magnetic field by attracting and repelling charged particles within blood cells. According to Sarah Foy Moreland of Vanderbilt University, a magnet's energy works as a catalyst, speeding up the biological process of allowing the body to heal itself faster and ease pain. The catalyst stimulates blood circulation by enabling more oxygen to be distributed throughout the entire body. Alekh Gupta, also of Vanderbilt University, states that using magnetic therapy increases the movement of hemoglobin, accelerating blood flow. With this increased blood flow, fatty deposits along the blood vessels decrease and eventually vanish altogether. As a result, the blood flows even more smoothly, which may also decrease the risk for high blood pressure.
