Learning about their unique features can help you determine which products are the right choice for you. The Healtheory offers an effective far infrared sauna blanket and PEMF mat. Both of these products can contribute overall physical health benefits as well as improving your body’s sleep conditions and mental wellness. In this blog, we’ll delve into the depths of these products to learn how each one of them works and which is the right choice for you.
What Does PEMF Mean?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. It is a form of wellness and therapy that utilizes electromagnetic fields at a low frequency with a low pulse rate. This therapy includes low-frequency electromagnetic pulses that are applied to the body. An infrared electromagnetic mat is an innovative product recently introduced to the market in more portable and affordable forms. However, the concept of using electromagnetic pulses as a form of therapy has been present for hundreds of years. Starting with an understanding that exposing the human body to Earth’s magnetic field, all the way up to the application of magnetic objects to the body, humans have understood the benefits of types of magnetic exposure.
Generally, PEMF devices consist of electrodes and coils that generate electromagnetic fields. This, in turn, is used for effective stimulation of cells, healing for acute and chronic pain, and supporting overall wellbeing. The Healtheory infrared PEMF mat offers a series of benefits that make it an efficient choice for physical and mental wellness. Our PEMF mat pulses at your chosen, selected frequency for 10 minutes upon initial use while infrared heats to your desired temperature, then PEMF cycles off for 100 minutes before cycling back on again for another 10 minutes. The mat may be used throughout your workday, during meditation, or during rest.
You can select your operating mode based on desired results. Our bodies and brains are affected by the wavelengths around us. For example, WiFi operates at 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz. When you are exposed to WiFi, these wavelengths are passing through your body, which is why it is now recommended that you deactivate WiFi in your home while resting whenever possible. Other wavelengths people are commonly exposed to include kitchen microwaves at around 300THz, 2-4G mobile phones 0.7-2.7GHz with 5G mobile phones expected to use frequencies up to 80GHz. We are exposed to electromagnetic frequencies throughout our day, some from natural sources like the sun and the Earth, and others from daily technology including cell phones, modern personal vehicles, televisions, and refrigerators. Our bodies generate electrical impulses in our nervous system, so our surrounding electromagnetic exposure can affect us in a variety of ways, some positive and some stressful to our cells. By utilizing a controlled very low electromagnetic frequency, you can expose your body to a therapy allowing your electrical systems to recalibrate from all the variety of frequencies you are exposed to in a day.
In addition to the benefits of the PEMF therapy, you can also gain benefits from the infrared heat exposure. Infrared heat can penetrate deeply into muscle tissue to provide pain relief as well as a deeply relaxing sensation. It will also improve circulation and can contribute to weight loss with regular use by improving your resting metabolic rate.
The Benefits Of PEMF Mats
- They provide relaxation to your whole body
- These mats help boost energy levels in the body
- An electromagnetic mat is useful for improving sleep, which ultimately helps increase focus and concentration levels.
- The pulsed electromagnetic field induced in the infrared PEMF mats helps in soothing the muscles and acts as a pain reliever. Mainly, athletes use these mats for a faster recovery.
- By exposing yourself to a controlled, very low electromagnetic frequency, you can reset and calm your nervous system
- Infrared Heat contributes to your overall health
- The entire session can be completed fully clothed while working, reading, meditating or relaxing
You can use a PEMF Mat to deepen your concentration levels, which helps with deep meditation, reduction of anxiety, and the practice of yoga. The Healtheory infrared PEMF mat consists of Amethyst and Tourmaline gemstones improve distribution of the PEMF and the Infrared Heat on the body.
The Healtheory’s PEMF Wavelength Frequencies
The Healtheory’s personal PEMF mat has several settings for pulsed frequencies to choose from. 3Hz (mode 1) - Delta brain waves, for deep relaxation which can help with falling asleep and staying asleep. Delta brain waves are often present during our deepest sleep of the night, allowing the brain to slow down dramatically and give the body time to catch up on recovering itself while the brain rests.
7.8Hz (mode 2) - Theta brain waves or the Schumann Resonance is the frequency we experience when we try grounding. “Grounding” is the act of walking barefoot on natural terrain such as grass. The frequency of the Earth which is the Schumann Resonance pulses through the body during this exposure and your body’s frequency harmonizes with the Earth’s frequency. Body scans of inflammation before and after a 10 minute session of being exposed to the Schumann Resonance show greatly reduced inflammation that sustains. Theta waves are also the waves present during dream state of sleep. During Theta wave sessions, our brains can be inspired and creative, enhancing memory and improving tolerance to stress.
10Hz (mode 3) - Alpha brain waves fall in the middle of the brain wavelength spectrum and are predominantly present during meditation sessions or wakeful relaxation. Exposure to 10Hz can improve mindfulness, creativity, and open mindedness. This therapy can also reduce the physical effects of stress and promote tissue regeneration.
23Hz (mode 4) - Beta brain waves are present during our waking hours when we are the most alert, focused, and involved in daily living and decision making. Treating yourself with 23Hz frequency pulsed therapy can promote improved mental function, increased concentration, and improved memory. This is a great way to boost yourself out of a mid-day slump!
How Does An Infrared Sauna Blanket Work?
An infrared sauna blanket is a compact and portable device designed to provide advantages similar to traditional sauna therapy in a more convenient package for individual home use. This device helps to deliver the benefits in a more convenient and accessible manner. There is one key difference as well, in that traditional saunas are usually full body style that include exposing the head and face to sauna heat. In a sauna blanket, you are able to experience heat benefits and treatment without heating your head. This allows greater tolerance to the heat exposure and allows you to experience heat more comfortably for a longer period of time, increasing your benefit. It is generally a large blanket styled like a “sleeping bag” and equipped with infrared heating elements as well as insulation against uneven electrical currents that may be emitted during use to ensure you are exposed to an even and sustained heating level throughout treatment, without exposure to harmful EMFs (different from the controlled very low level Pulsed EMFs of the PEMF mat due to their strength and type of sustained rather than pulsing wavelength). The sauna blankets work effectively by utilizing heat to stimulate a health response in tissues and cells in your body. One way to understand the purpose of exposure to heat is that your body naturally creates a fever, heating itself when needing to expel illness. By inducing the fever experience through a controlled sauna setting, your body will reflexively begin to clean the cellular pathways.
Researchers have studied that infrared sauna blankets are more efficient than saunas and provide numerous health benefits. The personal sauna blanket effectively improves blood circulation in the body. It improves metabolism and also accelerates detoxification. Due to the thermal therapy, it is also effective in fat-burning and activating calorie consumption. In 2014, a clinical trial suggested that sauna blankets can provide benefits to people suffering from heart problems by providing thermal therapy. Regular use of sauna can also clear up acne or other common skin conditions.
Key Characteristics of Infrared Sauna Blankets
Unlike infrared mats or pads, an infrared sauna blanket covers the entire body. It provides an overall sauna-like experience by covering your body from head to toe. This full coverage helps penetrate the heat in various areas of your body simultaneously. This, in turn, acts like thermal therapy. You will get very sweaty! Plan to shower afterwards and wipe down your sauna blanket with a damp cloth before storing. This is a key difference from the PEMF mat which does not induce sweating unless you choose to use a high setting for your infrared heat.
One of the main advantages of using a personal sauna blanket is the ease of access and its flexibility in being portable, just like our PEMF mats. It is lightweight and easy to store, making room in minimal space. This makes them effective for carrying your blanket with you anywhere you travel.
The infrared heat that is generated from these blankets creates a soothing and relaxing experience. It further helps in soothing muscle tension, reduces stress levels, and provides an effective sense of calmness. Because you are fully wrapped in the blanket, your body will heat more quickly than it will on a PEMF mat where you are exposed to open air in your environment.
Sauna blankets are like traditional walk-in saunas that induce sweating. In the body’s purification process, sweating plays a crucial role. It helps in removing toxins in the body and promotes comprehensive wellness with skin health enhancement. Your body will begin to detox cellular pathways, looking to eliminate cell fragments and mis-formations.
The infrared sauna blanket consists of infrared heat, which creates a heating sensation from the inside of the body, not just the surface of the skin. This process induces sweating; this, in turn, can contribute to temporary weight loss. Along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, using a personal sauna blanket can help you achieve weight management goals in time. Moreover, studies have shown that there is also the possibility of reducing the appearance of cellulite in your body.
The nights after using a sauna blanket can be some of the best nights of rest of your life! Many of our customers will complete their regular exercise routine, then utilize sauna for 20-45 minutes as desired, shower and go about their day. Later that night, whether right after completing sauna treatment or at the end of the day, our customers report their highest quality of sleep! It brings on increased concentration during the day, and a body ready to rest well at night.
Which is better, an Infrared PEMF Mat or an Infrared Sauna Blanket?
The choice of choosing from a PEMF mar or a sauna blanket completely depends upon what you want and what your expectations are as well as how you can integrate these modalities into your day. While many of the benefits are similar, each one works in different ways, so you can also add both to your regular self-care health routine and see increased benefit.
An infrared personal sauna blanket is the perfect option if you want to relax, increase your metabolism, work towards your weight management goals, boost your immune system and improve your sleep quality. An infrared sauna blanket uses infrared heat to induce sweating, which helps detoxify the body and reduces stress by elevating relaxation. The full coverage of your body from head to toe provides a uniform penetration of heat throughout your body. You will need to plan to shower after sauna to rinse the expelled toxins from your skin and help you cool back down.
Whereas, if you are looking to boost concentration levels, improve focus and mental clarity, and get better sleep by deep penetration infrared heat from a product you can use while sleeping, sitting, or working at a desk with no need to shower afterwards, then an infrared PEMF mat will be the best option for you. A PEMF mat uses electromagnetic fields to promote the stimulation of cells and enhance blood circulation in the body. It is effective for relieving pain and helping to provide effective recovery options for injury.
Choosing between these two wellness products can enhance your wellness journey. If you're looking for therapeutic and healing improvements to help regulate internal biological systems, experts recommend opting for PEMF mats. However, if you are looking for detoxification, weight loss, relaxation, or other health benefits, then an infrared sauna blanket is the best option for you.
