They are labeled as therapeutic grade, but that does not affect you in customs as they are not considered a medical device in the US or Canada. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur magnetic blankets come with a detachable hood. The hood has magnets in the poll and cranial area, the body has magnets throughout.   While I am sure our line will be copied, we are currently the only blanket sold with a detachable hood with magnets at the poll.  Keep in mind, the material and the magnets cannot be duplicated, only imitated.  The magnets in both the sheet and hood are placed according to acupressure points through the body. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost magnets perform better in cold conditions than hot.

The oldest magnetic brand therapy  blankets utilizes south seeking, as do we, while some others have north seeking polarity. Some therapists say one direction is more beneficial than the other, but scientifically speaking, there is no research to show how there could be any difference between the two poles of the magnet in terms of the effect upon body tissue. We did our research, and overall with blood tests measuring CRP, SAA, and lactate levels in horses using OUR specific magnetic sheet, we found this direction to be most beneficial for our line. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength of Treatment:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome research scientists and practitioners suspect that the body may accommodate to the magnetic field over time, thus reducing the therapeutic effect. In order to prevent both the irritation and the accommodation, practitioners usually recommend intermittent use 12 hours on, 12 hours off.
