PEMF FAR INFRARED MATS: Higher Dose vs Ereada Purple vs Healthy Multi Wave 5 Therapy
Looking for the best PEMF treatment that fits your needs can be a challenge, especially when full-body mats come with a hefty price tag. So the smartest thing to do is to explore multiple therapies to not only dramatically improve your well-being but also to get the most out of your investment. Keep in mind that PEMF-specific mats can be over twice as expensive as the 5 Healing Therapy mats from Healthy Wave and Ereada. So, choose wisely and treat yourself to the ultimate PEMF experience!
Here’s a breakdown of the 5 healing therapies the Multi Wave and the Ereada purple mats offer:
1. PEMF works in sync with the Earth’s magnetic field, restoring our own magnetic field to its natural state. Studies reveal that low intensity PEMF is the most effective and safe, compared to high intensity. The right intensity is crucial – too low won’t penetrate enough, and too high can have negative effects.
2. Infrared Therapy is a type of therapy that uses invisible heat to penetrate the body and promote healing. The heat is absorbed by the body, increasing blood flow and circulation to reduce inflammation and promote relaxation. This therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of health conditions, including chronic pain, arthritis, high blood pressure and chronic kidney disorders.
3. Negative Ion Therapy involves surrounding ourselves with molecules found in natural environments that can enhance our mood, relieve stress, and increase energy levels. Negative ions work by counteracting the positive ions that can cluster and cause health problems. By neutralizing our atoms, negative ions promote harmony within our cells and body functions, leading to increased energy and vitality.
4. Photon Light Therapy or Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers light energy to your cells. When exposed to red light, your cells absorb the light and produce more energy, similar to how plants absorb light through photosynthesis. This energy kick-starts cellular respiration and regeneration, allowing your cells to repair and heal faster. This therapy has been shown to be effective in treating skin conditions, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall well-being.
5. Crystal Therapy is a type of therapy that involves using crystals to create far infrared rays and negative ions when heated. Crystals are not just ordinary rocks as they possess energetic properties. For instance, amethyst generates a magnetic field and tourmaline produces piezoelectricity when agitated or heated. These properties of crystals can promote healing and relaxation, and this therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain.
Now let’s dive into a concise comparison:
