FAQ

FAQs: Yin Flow Magnet Therapy

1. How often should I use the magnets?
We recommend using a magnet at least once per week or whenever you feel it’s required based on your symptoms and needs. Trust your body and use as you feel necessary.

2. What are the magnets and stickers made of, and are they safe?
Our magnets are made from high-quality materials and adhere using a hypoallergenic sticker, designed to be safe on most skin types. The materials have been carefully selected to ensure comfort and minimize irritation. If you have sensitive skin, please conduct a patch test before using.

3. How long should I leave the magnet on?
The suggested time is 4 days. They can be left on slightly longer, but please be cautious of any skin indentation or irritation. If you notice any discomfort, we recommend removing the magnet.

4. Can I use these magnets instead of acupuncture treatments?
Yin Flow Magnets are designed as an “acupuncture-on-the-go” tool, providing symptom relief and support. However, for treatment that addresses root causes, we recommend seeing a professional acupuncturist.

5. Is there research on magnet therapy and acupuncture points in Chinese Medicine?
Yes, there is ongoing research in both traditional Chinese medicine and magnet therapy, and some studies explore the benefits of magnets when used on acupuncture points. However, as with all complementary therapies, individual experiences vary.

6. Do I need to place the magnet exactly on the point?
For best results, try to place the magnet as close as possible to the recommended point or area of pain. Precision can enhance the effects, but close proximity will still be beneficial.

7. Can I use Yin Flow Magnets while pregnant?
We advise against using these magnets during pregnancy without consulting a qualified therapist to ensure safe point selection and optimal results.

8. I have sensitive skin; will the sticker cause irritation?
The stickers are hypoallergenic, but if you have sensitive skin, please do a patch test first to check for any reaction. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare provider.

9. Once the magnets are on, should I press or touch them?
No need to press or touch the magnets once they’re applied. Simply leave them on, and they will work effectively without interference.

10. Can I use the magnets if I am on HRT/MHT but still experience hot flashes or other symptoms?
Yes, you absolutely can. Many people on HRT/MHT continue to experience symptoms, and Yin Flow Magnets can provide additional relief.

11. Will the magnets work if I am active or in the shower?
Yes, the magnets are designed to withstand normal activity, and they will stay in place through most daily routines. However, they may come off if exposed to soapy water or excessive friction.

12. What should I do if a magnet falls off early?
If a magnet falls off before the recommended 4-day period, simply replace it with a new one on the same point or another needed area.

13. Can I reuse a magnet?
No, for optimal efficacy and hygiene, we recommend using a fresh magnet each time.
