Oprah’s favorite Dr. Oz has some good news for folks struggling with everything from swollen joints to chronic pain, and it goes by the quirky title of PEMF.
PEMF–stands for pulsed electromagnetic field – has been approved by even the stringent FDA to fuse bones, and in some devices, to reduce swelling and join paint.
PEMF therapy is based on radio frequency diathermy, which generates a constant electromagnetic field to generate heat in soft tissue. This heat directly and favorably alters cellular signalling connected to tissue, blood, muscle, ligaments and bone. Plus, new research suggests that PEMF therapy may help address disease, improve cartilage homeostasis, and increase nitric oxide activity.
Dr. Oz also looks at three ways that PEMF therapy and technology is making its way out of the lab or the doctor’s office, and into people’s homes – where they can conveniently and privately boost their health in wellness: PEMF Mat Devices, PEMF Knee Devices and PEMF Patch Devices.
PEMF Mat Devices produce a therapeutic pulsed electromagnetic field, which surrounds the entire body. World renowned pain specialist, Dr. James Dillard, shared his insights on PEMF technology on Dr. Oz’s widely-watched TV show, which massively boosted interest in the devices.
PEMF Knee Devices are FDA-approved, and combine both thermal therapy and PEMF energy to send heat and magnetic pulses to the injured or afflicted knee. The result is a better circulation, increased mobility, and a reduction in swelling and pain.
PEMF Patch Devices are small, disposable patches that are currently sold over-the-counter in Canada. They’re also approved by Health Canada for relieving musculoskeletal pain. The jury is still out on whether PEMF Patch Devices deliver measurable and lasting relief, and they are not yet FDA approved. However, that doesn’t mean that savvy consumers in the US and elsewhere shouldn’t pay attention as it’s probably just a matter of time before PEFM Patch Devices are FDA-approved and/or made by FDA-registered companies.
Now, with this all said, you should know there is an alternative device that delivers the same health benefits and more… it is called the BioMat.
Although PEMF mats and the BioMat share some of the same health benefits, they are actually quite different... a PEMF device uses an electromagnetic pulse to administer healing. The BioMat combines Far Infrared light, Negative Ion technology and the healing properties of Amethyst crystal to deliver its. The list of health benefit bullets above all apply to BioMat use, but there is a key feature that the PEMF device cannot list:
Amethyst Crystals which actually elongate and amplify the natural wavelength of a key component to the treatments, the Far Infrared rays, allowing them to penetrate up to 7 inches deep into the body. By comparison, other Far Infrared technologies may only penetrate less than half that depth. Amethyst’s healing properties have been acknowledged and celebrated for centuries by ancient scientists and healers. Now, modern science has confirmed the highly conductive properties of this remarkable mineral. Amethyst crystals offer the most consistent and powerful delivery of Far Infrared light waves, and ionic effects to the human body.
Another factor to be aware of is expense. PEMF devices cost at least twice what the BioMat professional does and four times more than the BioMat mini. If you are in the market for such a healing device, it is a good idea to understand all your options before making a decision.
