Titanium has been shown to attract oxygen. When held against the skin in the form of a bracelet, it is believed to pull that oxygen into the area that is inflamed or is pain. The excess oxygen is relives the pain and inflammation. This is one reason why arthritics wear the bracelets on their affected wrists close to the joints that are inflamed because of the disease.

Human Compatibility

Unlike many other metals used in medicine, titanium is compatible with the human body in that is can be used without fear of rejection by the body. If an implant is rejected, medical problems arise, the least of which being infection. The implant must be removed and replaced at immense cost to the patient. Titanium parts overcome this obstacle and can remain inside the body for many years. Titanium bracelets can therefore be worn without causing the wearer infection, rashes or increased pain and swelling.

Acid Reflux

Because of all the health benefits of titanium bracelets, modern medical researchers are using them to treat internal disorders like reflux. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is working with the use of a titanium beaded bracelet to prevent acid reflux. The bracelet is wound around the lower part of the esophagus where the sphincter lies. It is tightened to hold the sphincter closed so that the stomach acid will not leak out and cause reflux.

Pain Relief

Titanium bracelets have gained popularity as a method of pain reduction in some cases of carpal tunnel syndrome. One theory suggests that when magnets are applied to an area, the nerves are stimulated, releasing the body's own natural pain killers. Another theory states that magnets stimulate blood flow and increase ionic exchange, bringing healthy oxygenated blood and nutrients to the area

Healing

Titanium has been studied to function as a local anesthetic as well as a healing compound. The usage of negatively charged magnets in direct contact with an injured area may heighten the body's instinct to begin the healing process. The healing process involves the localizing and disposing of by-products of an injury.

Immune System Boost

Titanium has been studied to play a role in increasing white blood cells. White blood cells defend the body against infectious diseases and foreign materials, and flush toxins out of the affected areas, promoting a healthier immune system. 

Energy

Titanium has been shown to give humans more energy.  Magnetic therapy is thought to increase oxygen flow within the human body. Oxygen flow plays an important part in the metabolism of energy, or the usage of the body's energy sources and the respiration of carbon dioxide, the waste product of cellular respiration. When more oxygen is available for usage by muscles and tissues on a cellular level, this may leave you feeling more energetic.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Titanium has been studied to serve an anti-inflammatory function. This is due to the restoration of the normal electromagnetic balance in the body. A normal electromagnetic balance relaxes capillary walls, as well as surrounding muscles and connective tissues, allowing for the proper blood flow. Proper blood flow promotes the transfer of oxygen and nutrients to the injured site, leading to a decrease in pain and inflammatory agents.
