Strength of magnets required

Therapeutic magnets are available in a vast array of strengths, from 500 – 3500 gauss/50-300 m tesla. You may not always require the highest strength magnet, but there is a minimum requirement for healing purposes. The minimum strength per magnet for an adult should be 800 gauss/ 80 m tesla. Magnets with gauss/tesla ratings below this will have difficulty in penetrating through the skin and into the tissues. The strength of magnet required for each individual is dependent on the type of ailment/injury, the severity and the length of time the ailment/injury has been there.The table below shows approximate ratio of strength of magnet to ailment.

The table below shows approximate ratio of strength of magnet to ailment.

CONDITION	LENGTH OF TIME WITH CONDITION	STRENGTH, NUMBER OF MAGNETS REQUIRED AND PLACEMENT
Sprains, strains, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI, muscle strains, bruising, tennis elbow, minor sports injuries.	Less than 1 year	800 gauss/80 m tesla. Between 4 and 6 magnets encircling the injury
Joint pain (not arthritis pain), mild back pain, swollen joints (not from arthritis or osteoporosis), frozen shoulder	Less than 2 years	1,200-m 1,700 gauss/120-170 m tesla. Between 6-12 magnets encircling the injury
Spondylosis, sciatica, arthritis, osteoporosis, migraine, insomnia	Less than 4 years	2000-2500 gauss /200-250 m tesla. Between 10-25 magnets encircling the injury
Chronic arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, MS, ME	Over 5 years	3000-3500 gauss/300-350 m tesla. Between 12 - 125 magnets (depending on the amount different pain points) encircling the injury.
Bowel disorders, chronic fatigue, skin disorders.	Over 6 months	2,000-2,500 gauss/200-250 m tesla magnet to magnetise water. Drinking at least 4 glasses per day (a min of 6 glasses for bowel disease)
High blood pressure, stress, poor circulation	Over 6 months	2,500-3,000 gauss/ 250-300 m tesla. Between 7-14 magnets worn around the wrist, plus drinking magnetised water (at least 4 glasses a day.)
Diabetes (all types)	Over 6 months	Drinking magnetised water plus using shoe insoles with a minimum of 25,000 gauss/2.5 tesla.
