Chakra magnets
Chakra magnet is a circular, two-piece magnet as the outer magnet has a hole in the center, making it ring shaped. It is painted white on one side and yellow on the other side. The standard byol magnet fits into the central hole of this ringed magnet. This type of magnet is used for tonification/sedation of 'yogic' chakras and for classical acu points requiring greater magnetic power than the byol magnets. This magnet can also be used for byol points in certain circumstances.

In all cases, the magnets should be removed immediately on appearance of any adverse symptom, i.e., discomfort, heaviness, pain or numbness in head or any body part, nausea, uneasiness, sudden change in blood pressure, body temperature, etc.
