Can a magnetic bracelet cure my headaches?

Maybe I'm just being naive, but I've heard that magnetic bracelets could help solving many types of aches. Did somebody try it and experiences such a good result?

Many recent researches deal with your questions about men's magnetic bracelets and headaches. The results, however, are rather mixed. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that magnetic bracelets could ease your pain a little bit, even if by a psychological placebo effect, but wouldn't count on magnetic bracelets to improve your health.

Magnetic therapy is categorized as pesudoscientific. This means, it doesn't really hold water when properly tested in the laboratory. Magnetic therapy is an alternative therapy which apparently does work for some people, although many scientists claim that the healing is due to a placebo effect. Promoters of magnetic therapy and magnetic healing jewelry claim that the magnets applied to your body can influence blood flow and attract "fresh blood" to magnetized points. Other promoters believe it stabilizes the human body's "electromagnetic energy balance", however, no such system has been medically proven. I say, go see your doctor if you want your headaches to be cured. These magnetic bracelets seem to be a bunch of easy money schemes that are not proven to do anything but cost you cash.

BioMagnets can relieve many sorts of pains and injuries, the question is do magnetic bracelets manufacturers indeed produce bracelets with enough magnetic strength to cure any ailments. The strength and size of the magnet would determine the penetration of it's field. Most likely your body won't be significantly affected by the strength field of a magnet in a magnet bracelet. Try advil instead.
