What Should I Look for in Health and Wellness Products?

Are you overwhelmed by the long list of health and wellness products that abound today? Finding your way through this maze to get the right ones for your needs can be quite baffling, considering that each promises better health and improved well-being. With so much information, how do you figure out where to start? Explore with us the key considerations in looking at health and wellness products and how The Healtheory provides answers to fit your needs.  

Safety First 

When are seeking health and wellness products and modalities, safety has to be your first priority.  Just as the Hippocratic oath for doctors begins with “First Do No Harm,” any product you use to address a health or wellness concern should not be a new cause of harm in your life.  Some considerations are that your health products meet established safety requirements and be free of toxins.  In the case of a sauna blanket or a PEMF mat, both of which may be used to detox your body, you want assurance that your sauna blanket or PEMF mat is safe enough to be in contact with your body for daily use.  Top considerations for these products include the quality of the materials they are made of and the amount of higher-level EMF that will be emitted during use.   

 

Remember that in the case of a PEMF use, a pulsed and very low level of EMF will be emitted which is desirable.  Low level EMF is present in nature, such as the earth’s natural frequency of However, higher frequency EMF can be harmful to our cells.  With both of these products from The Healtheory, the electrical wiring is designed with extra insulation so that the EMF emitted during use is mainly concentrated at the point of power source connection and is therefore farther away from your body during use.  In looking at the materials the sauna blanket and PEMF mat are made of, the sauna blanket is made of a durable type of polyvinyl that is designed to endure heating with minimal wear, but we still recommend you wear all-cotton clothing or use one of our 100% cotton sauna blanket liners so that your skin is exposed to natural fibers during your session rather than directly to a plastic product, even one carefully selected for durability from heat exposure.  You can evaluate the insulation level of our products by sliding a hand under the product after a session and noting the heat transfer level of the surface the product was on.  Our products have had extensive in-house testing to ensure heat is well retained within the product and transmitted to the user, and that any EMF generated by the device is well insulated. 

 
Know What You Want 

Defining your health goals before going out to shop is a great way to make sure you are addressing your goals. Are you looking for assistance with relaxation? Are you hoping to address chronic pain issues or improve post-workout recovery?  Do you want to improve your sleep? Health and wellness products all have their own benefits and use different approaches to address physical concerns, so knowing your individual goals will enable you to understand which product is right for you. As an example, if detoxification and relaxation are your priorities, getting a detox sauna blanket will address both of these concerns. You will need to plan to shower after the sauna, so keep this in mind when planning what time of day you might use it.  If you are looking to soothe muscle pain, boost circulation, or give yourself a mental lift on a device you can use while working at a desk a PEMF infrared mat is a great option.  Both products will reduce inflammation and improve your overall health from that perspective, but they have very different applications.  Clear understanding of what you want will make it easy to find the best product to support you so that you can see improvements right away. 

Does It Really Work? 

We all want healing and relief from pain, and fortunately there are a lot of companies developing new products to keep up with the demand for personal care alternatives.  With so many options, how do you know for sure if they are working? Research-based and highly endorsed products may be the best choice. Many health and wellness products, such as infrared light therapy and PEMF therapy, have substantial scientific research supporting their benefits. For instance, infrared therapy is known to improve circulation and reduce pain; PEMF mats help improve sleep quality and boost of energy.  PEMF technology was first tested on non-union bone fractures, so the applications of the benefits are varied and new studies are always underway.   

 

PubMed has a large repository of scientific studies, and you can search by modality on their website to see if the modalities you are interested in have been evaluated for any specific application and what kinds of results were found.  The quality of the components that go into developing a product matter as well.  For example, not all LED’s are the same quality or strength.  For The Healtheory’s Red Light Body Wrap, we use medical grade LED lights for which we are the only US distributor (they are mostly sold in Europe where LED light treatment has been in use more widely).  The wrap itself is made with high quality neoprene fabric, whereas many lower grade body wraps use uncomfortable fabrics or even clear plastic in their manufacture.  

 

Is It Easy to Use? 

It can be hard to change our daily routines, so trying new products that are easy to use and fit easily into your routine will help ensure that you use the products that you choose to invest in. Health and wellness products should make your life easier, not harder. For example, The Healtheory's detox sauna blanket is portable, durable, and easy set up anywhere in your home. It also comes with a storage & carrying tote to make it easier to take on the road.  It's designed for convenience, so you do not need to take pains over complicated setups or special storage needs. It fits easily under a bed or in a closet.  The Healtheory’s Chair Sized PEMF Mat is sized for an office chair, and can easily be used whenever sitting at your desk, or it can easily be moved to a sofa or armchair as needed, so that it is already in a place where you regularly sit.  The Heltheory’s Red Light Body Wrap rolls up cleanly for storage and can easily be kept tucked next to a favorite chair or under a bed for easy daily use.  Keep it plugged in, unroll the wrap & place it on your desired treatment area, set the timer and lights and you are good to go.  Whether watching a movie, reading a book, or just relaxing, it is an easy product to integrate into your day for healing.  When buying wellness products, first consider how easy they will be to use and maintain. If a product requires much effort or cleaning, then find something simple. 

Worth Your Money 

Investment in health and wellness is valuable for products that are effective or serve multiple purposes.  Select products designed to benefit you in the long term, even if that means an initial higher investment. For instance, an infrared therapy wrap or PEMF mat are purchased once, and by using it over time, the benefits to your body will pay off in reduced pain, more mobility, and possibly less need to rely on doctors.  Many in office treatments can have similar results, but require higher fees and travel outside of the home.  Consider your plans for long-term use and its effectiveness in the long run.
