Aztecs and Mayans used magnets in medicine as early as 2000 BC. Paracelsus, a 14th century alchemist, believed that magnets could attract disease and pull it from the body. Modern science has shown that magnets work to benefit the body—but not by pulling illness directly from the body!
All living things generate electricity. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) mats use magnets to work with electric energy in the body. The low pulses pass deep into muscle, tendons, tissue, and bone.
According to Dr. Gary Ryan, Yale research shows that most illness start with a “drop” in charge at the cellular level. Scientists believe that PEMF increases nitric oxide in the brain, a natural chemical the brain uses to open blood vessels and promote circulation. Oxygen and minerals transported by blood then flow to the body helping cells, tissue, and bone to heal. Veterinarians have similarly applied PEMF to animals for the same benefits that humans receive.
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) mat therapy is a non-invasive practice that harnesses the power of low-frequency magnetic fields to promote natural healing and recovery. Aside from improving physical symptoms, long-term use of a PEMF mat can also provide inner benefits such as improved mood, reduced stress levels, and enhanced energy. Here are some of the ways using a PEMF mat for an extended period can benefit your mind:
