Today, many people use alternative medicine methods that help get rid of various diseases. The most popular products from this area are products made from tourmaline, especially belts.
The tourmaline belt has many different reviews from both doctors and people who purchased this product, as well as some contraindications. Therefore, there is no consensus on whether it is worth purchasing such a belt with medicinal properties.
What is a tourmaline belt?
The tourmaline belt is rightfully considered the best home assistant for maintaining the health and tone of the whole body. The belt is made on the basis of a unique crystal – tourmaline.
This mineral is the rarest element on our planet; it is able to absorb all the benefits of solar radiation and release it as useful energy for the treatment and prevention of various diseases.
The most commonly used tourmaline belts are:
- Elements from the natural mineral tourmaline;
- Therapeutic bioactive magnets;
- Special threads, so-called “liquid crystals”, based on the same tourmaline.
The widespread use of this all-natural mineral for medicinal purposes began at the end of the 20th century and is still gaining more and more popularity every year among doctors and patients around the world.

Beneficial effects of a tourmaline belt on the human body
A tourmaline-based belt has many useful properties. The most pronounced improvement is considered to be the improvement of the body’s biofield, which has a beneficial effect on the overall health of a person.
The tourmaline belt is capable of:
- Regulate weakened energy balance in the body;
- Give away all the accumulated, useful energy necessary for health;
- They will emit a bio-magnetic field, which has a healing effect on the joints and the entire musculoskeletal system of a person;
- Improve and strengthen weakened immunity.
The beneficial effect of the belt lies in the beneficial radiation of magnets and minerals that penetrate deep into the body at the place where it is worn.
The negative ions of the crystal fight free radicals in the human body.
The belt helps well when the body is dependent on the weather, relieving all unpleasant pain and ailments, improving overall well-being.
How and what it works on
The essence of the therapeutic effect of the tourmaline belt is based on 2 types of activity of the mineral: infrared and ionizing. When the stone is heated, polarization processes are launched, it begins to emit in the IR range, emit negatively charged ions, electrical charges arise at the opposite ends of the crystals, the crystal lattice is deformed, which further increases the ability of particles to enter into electromagnetic force interactions, generate and supply thermal energy to cells.
It has been established that the microcurrent circulating on the surface of the mineral corresponds to the human current characteristic of a healthy body. The use of the belt provides a healing effect, replenishing and normalizing the biocurrents of the body.
According to sellers, belts containing tourmaline with magnetic inserts act at the cellular and molecular level:
- increase the temperature in the affected area, increase blood circulation;
- restore blood microcirculation and lymph flow, impaired as a result of the development of the pathological process, improving the transport of various substances between the blood and tissues, ensuring the delivery of nutrients and oxygen necessary for the sick organ, and promoting the rapid elimination of toxins;
- destroy compounds harmful to tissues, promote the removal of salts from joints, neutralize the activity of free radicals, protecting cells from oxidation and reducing their vulnerability;
- prevent the accumulation of fluid in the body, acting as a natural drainage of water, reduce pressure on nerve endings, relieve pain, reduce inflammation;
- relax smooth muscles, relieve spasms;
- eliminate tightness, stiffness of movements;
- reduce dependence on weather conditions - chilliness, numbness, joint pain, aching bones, help to stay longer in a cold place without serious consequences for the body;
- stimulate all synthetic processes - the production of synovial fluid, the regeneration of damaged cartilage, the restoration of other tissues;
- speed up the healing process, improve drug treatment and other traditional methods of therapy.
Patient reviews are contradictory. Many were satisfied with the purchase of the belt and noted an improvement in their well-being due to the safety of this type of treatment, simplicity and ease of use. Some people describe the tourmaline belt as a useless purchase and call it a “dummy”.
From the point of view of official medicine, there is a biological effect from the use of tourmaline products, but it is insignificant. According to doctors, there are less expensive synthetic and natural pyroelectrics and ionizers with proven effects that are not inferior to, and in some cases even superior to, tourmaline. In their opinion, the effect is clearly insufficient for medicinal purposes; it is limited only by warming up. Any positive changes are explained mainly by the placebo effect - self-hypnosis, the ability to heal practically with the power of thought.
Features of a tourmaline belt
The main distinguishing feature of this healing device is the speed of its action. You can feel the effect of the tourmaline belt 10-15 minutes after putting it on.
The use itself is very easy and practical; the belt can be worn at home, at work or while walking in the park, which will not affect its effectiveness in any way.
There is no cost to use, all you need to do is keep the belt in sunlight for four hours and wait until it charges, usually such a recharge lasts for almost a week.
A belt made of tourmaline and magnets perfectly fights all unfavorable electrical and bioimpulses that can worsen human health
It promotes better blood circulation at the site of application, which helps to cope with stagnation in muscle tissue. Created on the basis of natural ingredients, the belt carries only beneficial properties.
Which belt is best for the back with radiculitis?
To break the vicious circle of radiculitis pain, it is necessary to use a belt that not only warms the back, but also maintains the correct posture . The Intex anti-radiculitis belt is made from wool blend threads, cotton, latex and polyester fiber that strengthens the structure.
Wool threads in the belt provide the effect of a warm compress that stimulates blood circulation. As a result, intervertebral discs and muscles receive adequate nutrition and recover faster. Thanks to latex fiber, the belt acquires elasticity and compression properties. External pressure unloads the back muscles, relieving their spasm. This reduces muscle pain and gives the person the opportunity to straighten up. As a result, the vertebrae shift less and the pressure on the intervertebral nerve roots decreases. This opens the radiculitis vicious circle.
Cotton threads give the belt softness and also isolate latex from the skin, which avoids allergies to synthetics. Polyester fiber provides strength and durability , allowing the fabric from which the Intex belt is woven to be made so thin that it can be worn discreetly under clothing.
Indications for use of the belt
The tourmaline belt perfectly fights diseases of the musculoskeletal system, treats various injuries to muscle tissue (bruises, abrasions, swelling) and improves positive bioenergy in the body.

Warming belt from Hao Gan company
The way to sell is network marketing, and this network is thriving, to put it mildly. Not only tourmaline healing belts are sold there, of course, hence the success. Reading reviews about these products on the Internet is both funny and boring, since all of them were probably written by marketers who need a bloody nose for someone to “sell” this extremely useless product for some reason. They come up with so many things for this purpose: this is such a healing belt that having at least two copies will not hurt any person on earth, and there is no disease that this product cannot cure.
Marketers are clearly lacking generally accepted medical diagnoses. If you buy the belt they offer, you can get rid of intestinal pollution (!), liver sludge (!!) and even increase microcirculation (what, interesting?). You can imagine the bewilderment on the faces of doctors who suddenly read this. Their glasses will probably go up on their foreheads. There are no such diagnoses, they do not exist. And I wonder how to determine weak microcirculation? Or slagging? Since the disease is mythical, the treatment should be appropriate. This means that everyone needs to buy a tourmaline belt, because there is no person in the world whose body is not to some extent polluted.
These products are sold only as a set - four components each: you will have to buy a belt for the lower back (for sciatica?), pads for the neck and knees. It rarely costs less than four thousand rubles. Instructions for use also add weight to the purchase with their extraordinary complexity. This is not just a camel wool belt for you to buy. Here, wearing a tourmaline panacea is a whole art, and if the treatment does not help, the patient did everything, therefore, it was wrong.
First week: wear only for fifteen minutes. Second week: three times a day for twenty minutes. Then do the same three times a day for no more than half an hour for three months, while the knee pads can be left on even overnight. Buyers are warned that they have almost a weapon at their disposal: tourmaline, it turns out, gives off strong infrared radiation that threatens real burns. Previously and to this day, such cases, however, have not been observed, and physicists laugh loudly, but marketers from Hao Gan do not pay attention to this.
Reviews from experts
Marina Alekseevna, neurologist, 12 years of work experience
In my practice, the tourmaline belt works very well as an additional treatment for the sciatic nerve. This helps especially effectively if the patient has any contraindications to the use of medications.
I often recommend the use of a tourmaline belt to my patients based on personal positive experience and the opinion of doctors I know.
Dmitry Stepanovich, urologist-endocrinologist, 22 years of work experience
I have received a lot of positive feedback from doctors with whom I communicate and work in the same hospital.
Everyone has mostly only positive impressions of this device.
Of course, I cannot say that this is a panacea for all diseases, but as an additional way to fight for your health, products with tourmaline perform very well. This is evidenced by numerous reviews from doctors and patients themselves.
Oleg Yurievich, therapist, 17 years of work experience
Since the beginning of my work in the field of healthcare, I have heard a lot about miraculous tourmaline belts. For a long time I did not pay attention to them, considering them just another way to fool customers, until a man with arthrosis of the knee joint came to see me.
He treated the patient with traditional methods and drugs. At the insistence of the patient himself, he allowed him to use a tourmaline knee brace, which his relative already had.
Since I was skeptical about these products, I did not pay much attention to this. But as it turned out in practice, the patient recovered much faster and easier than those whom I treated as before using traditional medicine.
This interested me very much, and I decided to conduct research on the effectiveness of tourmaline in treating my patients. As an experiment on 14 of my patients showed, products based on tourmaline had a clear positive effect. In addition, the patients felt better and were in better mood.
Since then, I have been using such additional agents in treatment and prevention on an ongoing basis, because the actions of tourmaline have been fully confirmed, and I can speak with full responsibility about their benefits in treating patients.
Rules of application
You should wear a magnetic lumbar belt and a thoracolumbar corset only after consulting a doctor. The duration of wearing the corrector can reach several months. An orthopedic device is used according to the following scheme:
- During the first week, it is recommended to wear the magnetic belt up to 2 hours per day.
- From the second to the fifth week, the time of use is gradually increased by an hour per week. The corset should be worn for no longer than 6 hours without a break.
- The duration of the next stage is 3 months. The maximum time of continuous wearing of a corrector with magnets does not exceed 6 hours.
- At the fourth stage, the time of exposure to magnetic waves is gradually reduced to 2 hours per day. Then you should completely stop using the reclinator.
The exact scheme for using a bandage with magnetic plates is drawn up by a doctor. He will tell you how much time a day to wear it, at what intervals. In this case, absolutely all patients must remove the device before going to bed.
Attention. If, during regular use of a magnetic corset, the patient feels weak or feels worse, then it is better to stop using it for now and consult a doctor.
For the corrector to have a therapeutic effect, you need to wear it correctly.
Not all patients know how to put on a corset correctly. As a rule, the product comes with instructions that describe this process in detail. Usually it looks like this:
- Place the straps of the corset over your shoulders like a backpack, straighten it so that it touches your body as much as possible.
- Wrap the belt tightly around the body and secure the fasteners.
- Adjust the straps on your shoulders so that the corrector leans back a little.
At first, patients feel discomfort while wearing a corset, as it pulls the neck and torso back.
It is recommended to put on the corrector for the first time under the supervision of a doctor; he will help to correctly adjust and secure the straps of the device so that the patient is comfortable and the therapeutic effect is maintained.
It is recommended to wear the reclinator in the morning, while the muscles are relaxed and the spine is predisposed to forming correct posture. The corset must be fixed after the back is fully straightened. And it is also important to ensure that the straps do not twist and that their tension is moderate. If there is pain, loosen the straps a little, and if they are loose, tighten them. At first, there will be discomfort while wearing (especially if there is a curvature), since the back is not accustomed to the correct position.

Recommendations for selection
If the corrector is chosen incorrectly, it will have a therapeutic effect. Therefore, when choosing a magnetic corset, you need to pay attention to important parameters :
