Use magnetic hematite beads to make a magnet therapy wrap.
Magnetic fields may aid circulation in the body, reducing pain and inflammation, according to Herbal Remedies.com. Increased circulation also promotes faster healing and helps relieve symptoms caused by arthritis, chronic muscle pain and migraines. You can take advantage of these potential benefits by making yourself a magnetic hematite bead wrap. They are very simple to make and easy to use, and may be worn as bracelets, anklets, necklaces and chokers.
Instructions
1. Cut a piece of flexible beading wire about 3 feet long. Slip two crimp beads an inch down onto one end of the wire. (Crimp beads are tiny metal beads easily crushed against wire to secure jewelry.) Pull the second bead away from the first and fold the wire around the first bead in a loop. Push the end of the wire through the second crimp bead and slide the second crimp bead tight against the first. Crush the second crimp bead with pliers.
2. Slide a magnetic bead onto your wire, bumping it up against the crushed crimp bead. Follow this with a spacer bead, an accent bead, another spacer bead, an accent bead, a spacer bead and another hematite bead.
3. Continue with your beading pattern until you reach the last 2 inches or so of your wire. Secure the wire with crimp beads and pliers, slipping the excess wire back through the second crimp bead and the beads behind it if necessary. Use about 30 magnetic beads and a combination of 90 of the 8 millimeter and 4 millimeter beads for a necklace. Use about half of this for a simple bracelet. Double the amount for joints like knees and elbows. Triple or quadruple the amount to make belts for back pain relief.
4. Wear the magnetic wrap around your wrists to help relieve joint pain in your wrists and hands. Wrap it around ankles for foot pain and around your neck for headaches and neck pain. Wear the wrap in the affected area for several days in a row to reduce pain.
