I find the idea of magnetic clasps and titanium magnetic bracelets very intriguing. Prior to very recently, I had never heard of the concept of magnetic healing or magnetic therapy before, so for those of you like me, the quick definition of magnetic therapy is an alternative medicine practice that uses static magnetic fields in order to promote positive health benefits. It's kind of ambiguous, since none of the claims of magnetic therapy can be substantiated. Much like acupuncture, magnetic therapy relies on the testimony and experience of the people who take it in order to prove that a positive result is in fact happening.

What we do know is that magnetic fields in general are helpful to life. The earth's core emits a very large magnetic field that helps shield its inhabitants from harmful radiation emitted by the sun and other stellar objects. The magnetic field also helps many animals orient themselves directionally to the earth so that they can tell which direction they're headed. So in general, magnetic fields are very essential and helpful to life. But the question is, does having a static magnetic field around you benefit your overall health and wellness? That's a question that no one can really answer.

In the past, many magnetic bracelets were made of bulky hematite, pieced together to form a magnetic chain. But most people found these to be unsightly and unfashionable, so sleeker models were invented that were less bulky. The idea behind the magnetic clasp is being able to have a magnetic field constantly around you without ever having to think about it. Other accessories with similar aims were also created, things like magnetic earrings.

In modern days, sleeker, more fashionable magnetic clasps have hit the market. Titanium seems to be the most popular new material for magnetic clasps, because of its lightness and beauty, though many different kinds of metals can be magnetized to make magnetic bracelets. Materials such as tungsten, copper, stainless steel, and more, have been used to fashion magnetic clasps. Until studying it, I hadn't realized that magnetic therapy had gotten so popular. Many different thriving business sell hundreds of different magnetic clasps, and a number of public figures have been spotted wearing them. In fact, it's likely that you've been around magnetic clasps and haven't even known it. Most of them look just like regular bracelets.

Like we discussed earlier, magnetic therapy hasn't been either proven or disproven to be effective at enhancing overall health and wellness. Many people who wear magnetic clasps claim that it gives them an edge, either in sports competition, or just a slight boost in vitality. Because of the fact that the earth's magnetic field has been shown to be so essential to life and many different animal processes, proponents of magnetic therapy argue that a slight increase in magnetic fields can only be healthy. Other reports have been done on the iron content in the blood, to see if it responds to the magnetism in magnetic clasps. But the static magnetic fields emitted by magnetic clasps are very weak, and not enough to help increase blood flow in the body directly.

Thanks for stopping by and reading about magnetic clasps. For more about magnetism, check out my article on the uses of magnets.
