The stress of our daily lives takes a lot out of our internal organs, including our heart. Since heart disease is one of the leading causes of death, it makes sense that we do everything we can to protect our cardiovascular health. Stress causes us to stay in a state of flight or fight and causes a constant pump of adrenaline through our systems causing this wear and tear on our organs. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy can help reduce the damage caused and keep our hearts healthy by reducing the stress our bodies experience on a daily basis and energizing our cells to heal at a faster rate.
PEMF therapy sends a series of low intensity electrical charges to the cells of the body. The magnetic field is used as a carrier to carry the electricity safely into the body and quickly enough to penetrate the cell barrier. Once inside the cell, the electricity fuels the cell’s metabolism. This allows them to make quick repairs and improve overall health by removing toxins and absorbing fresh nutrients.
This is done using a control box that transmits electrical frequencies to an applicator containing copper coils. This produces an electromagnetic field around the applicator. These frequencies work in a similar function to electroacupuncture. This non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment stimulates cells to provide a healing environment for the body. However, it is not a cure in itself. It simply helps the body better utilize its own natural healing system.
It has been shown to reverse the signs of aging in the cardiovascular system. In 1999, a clinical study was carried out in Russia to determine the characteristics of the geroprotective action of magnetotherapy in 66 elderly patients with combined cardiovascular pathology. These patients suffered from hypertension and ischemic heart disease. Patients received systematic magnetotherapy that resulted in improved microcirculation, diastolic and pumping functions of the heart, myocardial reactivity, and central thermodynamics that reduced the biological age of the cardiovascular system.
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy offers very different results than the use of conventional treatments and painkillers. Traditional treatments relieve symptoms, but in the long term they worsen the condition due to suppression of the immune system which, over time, depletes essential nutrients from the body. However, this does not happen with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. The results experienced from pulsed electromagnetic field therapy will vary depending on the dose of PEMF and the severity of the cardiovascular condition.
There are few to no negative side effects with pulsed electromagnetic therapy. A tingling sensation due to increased blood circulation has been reported. Some patients have reported nausea and headaches as a result of the removal of toxins from the bloodstream. Muscles can ache as the cells are “physically exercised” by the therapy. There are no known deaths associated with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. People who use a pacemaker or other similar electrical device or who have had an organ transplant are not encouraged to seek PEMF therapy.
