They are used to assist in focusing attention towards a specific ailment, based on the type of charm used. Milagro symbolism is not universal; a milagro of a body part, such as a leg, might be used as part of a prayer or vow for the improvement of a leg; or it might refer to a concept such as travel.

In addition to religious and ritual applications, milagros are often found as components in necklaces, earrings and other jewelry.
