Hematite beads are a simulated material virtually identical to real hematite, the metallic-looking mineral which is an iron oxide. Hematite subjected to a specialized heating process, becomes strongly magnetized. Many studies have shown that magnets are an effective way to improve circulation and reduce pain from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sore joints and muscles, along with reducing high blood pressure. Beside its therapeutic properties, many people wear hematite simply for its striking shine and simplistic beauty.
