PEMF THERAPY
What is PEMF Therapy?
Over time the cells in your body degenerate and PEMF therapy is a natural way to recharge your body. Like a cell phone needs to be recharged every night, so does your body.
PEMF therapy uses low-level electromagnetic frequencies to stimulate the bodies natural healing power.
Wait, Are EMF’s Dangerous?
You may have heard that electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) that are produced by things such as computers, power lines, wireless routers, ect.. are harmful to the human body. This is true.
Chronic disease and illness associated with non-specific symptoms are on the rise and are shown to be directly correlated with bad EMF’s. You can see in this PubMed study here, the negative health effect from over exposure of high frequency EMF waves.
Additionally, The World Health Organization states that high frequency EMF’s are health hazard. However, they have affirmed that low frequency EMF’s are beneficial because they cause our cells to stimulate and promote cellular repair.
What EMF’s Are Safe?
As you might know, frequency and duration of the EMF makes all the difference. The Earth produces natural magnetic frequencies that range from 1-30 hertz. There are 3 main frequencies that the Earth generates: 7.83 hertz (Schumann Resonance), 11.75 hertz (at the equator) and 11.79 hertz (at each pole).
Using a PEMF mat or device that mimic the type of EMF frequency that the Earth produces is safe and beneficial for your health. It is difficult to pin point exact what frequency is most beneficial for the human body as everyone is different.
What Does Bi-Phasic Mean?
The term bi-phasic means having two phases. This means that the wave will pulse in one direction and then in the opposite direction. This is common in most PEMF devices it is the most effective way to make sure the waves reach all of your cells.
What kind of EMF’s Does the 5 Therapy Mat produce?
The Heathy Wave 5 Therapy Mat produces a frequency range of 1-30 hertz. This includes the Schumann Resonance at 7.83 hertz. This wave form is the closest to the Earth’s natural magnetic field, and is know by researchers world wide to be the most effective frequency for healing. Thus, being the most compatible frequency to the human body.
The 5 Therapy mat produces an intensity of 3000 milligauss or 3 gauss. This intensity separates it from other mats because it allows the PEMF waves to enter your body in a short amount of time, vs other competitors that produce higher intensities.
The 5 Therapy Mat produces a bi-phasic sine wave form. Currently there is no research that indicates what wave form is most beneficial, however, the sine wave is the most extensively researched wave form.
Far Infrared Therapy
What is Far Infrared Therapy?
Have you ever relaxed in the sun on a hot summer day? By soaking up the suns rays you are already experiencing the benefits of far infrared therapy!
Far infrared is a subdivision of the electromagnetic energy spectrum that is not visible to human eyes. It is a form of thermal therapy that has been investigated for its natural positive effects on the human body.
Far infrared waves penetrate deep into your body (about 1.5 inches), and is able to stimulate cells and increase blood circulation, among many other healing benefits. (Click here to learn more about the benefits of far infrared therapy)
How Do I Use Far Infrared Therapy Safely?
When using a far infrared device, it is important to consider the following:
- Internal Temperature
- External Temperature
- Exposure time
Internal temperature is what the far infrared mat will heat up to inside. This temperature is typically hotter than the external temperature.
External temperature is the heat that is produced on the surface of the mat and that will be transferred to your body. In order for safe use, the external temperature should not exceed 70 degrees Celsius or 158 degrees Fahrenheit.
Exposure time is relevant to the external temperature of the mat. For instance, 50 degrees Celsius is suitable for most 30-60 minute sessions. However, 70 degrees Celsius would be too hot for this length of time.
Moreover, if you are to use a far infrared mat at a lower temperature (30 degrees Celsius) it is suitable for longer periods of time, like sleeping.
What Happens If I Get Too Much Exposure?
Over exposure to far infrared heat can cause thermal damage to your body. This can result in a wide range of consequences from sun burns, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration.
5 Therapy Mat’s Far Infrared Features
The far infrared heat in the Classic 5 Therapy Mat goes up to 55 degrees Celsius externally and is adjustable for personal preference.
Combining PEMF therapy and far infrared therapy has been proven to produce the best results because they work synergistically to improve your overall health.
The 5 Therapy Mats far infrared therapy is generated when the crystals in the mat are heated. Consequently, the crystals generate negative ions that help protect/repair damage that positive ions have caused.
Crystals
What Type of Crystals are in the 5 Therapy Mat?
The far infrared heat is generated by a unique collection of natural crystals. Using a combination of amethyst, jade and tourmaline, this mat is able to hit 3 slightly different spectrums of far infrared therapy.
In addition to having these three crystals that power the far infrared and negative ions, the Healthy Wave 5 therapy mat contains a crystal called obsidian. Obsidian is not known for generating far infrared heat or negative ions, but rather it is known for its physical and mental healing ability.
What Crystal Generates the Most Negative Ions?
Amethyst, Jade and Tourmaline all generate negative ions. The crystal that generates the most is Tourmaline. Tourmaline can generate negative ions even when not heated and it typically produces 1500+ negative ions per square inch.
Amethyst
Emits a strong and steady flow of far infrared and negative ions. Promotes better wellness and a better quality of life.
Tourmaline
Produces the highest amount of negative ions. Improves the body’s ability to recover energy and detoxify itself.
Jade
Helps the body function more efficiently by stabilizing your energy levels. Emits a low heat that produces a calming sensation good for meditation.
Obsidian
Metaphysical properties shield against internal and external negativity. Helps the body better cleanse itself.
Negative Ion Therapy
What is a Negative Ion?
Far infrared therapy combined with healing crystals result in the production of negative ions. Negative ions are negatively charged atoms/molecules and are used to neutralize positive ions within the human body. (Click here to learn more about the benefits of negative ions)
Why are Negative Ions Important?
We need negative ions to neutralize positive ions, also know as free radicals. Positive ions are missing an electron so they need to find another one to become balanced.
As the saying goes opposites attract. If there is an imbalance between positive and negative ions, a positive ion will pull an electron off its neighbouring molecule which causes a chain reaction to radicals being ripped off other molecules. Therefor damaging cells, which increases risk for diseases and degeneration of organs.
Where are Negative Ions Naturally Found?
Depending on where you live you can be surrounded by more positive ions than negative ions. The more waterfalls, lightening storms and green space you are surrounded by the more negative ions you are subjected to. However, if you are like us and live in a city you are constantly surrounded by positive ions and bad EMF waves.
How Many Negative Ions Does the Healthy Wave 5 Therapy Classic Mat Produce?
The Healthy Wave 5 Therapy Pro Mat utilizes 3/4 crystals to generate negative ions. Tourmaline crystal generates the most of negative ions out of them all. It generates 1500+ negative ions per square inch per minute.
Over all, the Healthy Wave Classic 5 Therapy Mat generates 3000+ cc/minute.
How Long Do I Have to Lay on the Mat to Get The Benefits?
Lying on the mat for 20 minutes a day provides you with all of the negative ions you need, plus more to spare! During this time, your body is recharged with hundreds of thousands of negative ions that help neutralize positive ions and combat oxidative stress.
Photon Therapy (Red Light)
What is Photon Therapy?
Photon therapy is a type of light therapy that we can see with our eyes. Similar to PEMF and Far Infrared therapy, it is based on electromagnetic energy waves.
It has been acknowledged by the FDA as an effective, non-invasive pain relief method.
How Does It Work?
Photon therapy works similar to photosynthesis in plants. It is based on the principle of delivering light energy to the cells of your body. When the light particles touch the skin, your cells absorb it and use it to rejuvenate and repair. 
Different light wave lengths penetrate into different depths of the skin. Research has proven that the most effective range of photon therapy is between 630 and 680 nanometers (Red Light).
You can see in this study published by PubMed, patients with skin wounds recovered faster with red light (penetrates 600-650nm) than with blue light (penetrates 450-495nm). (PubMed: Investigation of Red and Blue Light Therapy)
Differences and Similarities Between Energy Therapies
Healthy Wave Classic Mat’s Photon Therapy
The Healthy Wave 5 Therapy Pro mat is equipped with 12 red photon lights that is in the range of 660 nanometers which allows your body to rejuvenate and repair. Additionally, the controller has the ability to turn off the therapy and has an automation 1 hour time to ensure safe use of the mat.
In order to get the most out of photon therapy, you must use your device directly against your skin as it is a shorter wave form than far infrared and does not penetrate as deep into your body.
How Long Can I Safely Apply Red Light Therapy?
Red Light therapy is a safe and effective way to relieve pain and rejuvenate the body. With that being said, there is no recommended time frame that is for safe use, but we do recommend keeping your time to an hour per session.
Warranty and Guarantee
What is the Purpose of a Warranty?
The main purpose of a warranty is to provide assurance to the customer that what they are investing in is worth their dime and that it will last. And it shows confidence that the seller believes in their products abilities. (Please click here to for FDA written warranty guidelines)
Does Healthy Wave Provide a Good Warranty For Its Products?
The Healthy Wave 5 Therapy Mat warranty checks off all of the boxes when evaluating a warranty. It is backed with a 2 year full replacement warranty for the mat, as well as a 5 year extended warranty for the controller.
Having a full warranty means that if you have any issues with your mat, you will be sent a new replacement mat. This avoids fixing a problem with a bandaid and having problems with it down the road.
The controller is the highest wear and tear part of a mat and is usually the most expensive part to fix. Having a 5 year warranty on the controller reassures you as the consumer that you are choosing the right device.
