It is FDA approved to manage joint pain, bone repair and signs of depression in a medical setting. PEMF is used by NASA to maintain the health of astronauts.
What is PEMF Pulsed Electro-magnetic Field Therapy? Aren’t EMF’s bad for you?
Not all Electro-Magnetic Fields are bad for you. In the case of PEMF, it is being used to recharge your cells. Each cell in the human body has its own small electro-magnetic field operating between 0-30Hz. The Earth also has an electromagnetic field, usually around 7.83 Hz and is referred to as the Schumann Frequency. This is the type of magnetic field our bodies have evolved to operate in but due to increasing technology we are further and further away from that frequency. The Zen bed utilizes that same Earth frequency.
If you are interested in looking at studies using PEMF technology, there are over 450 studies on pubmed. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
What are negative ions?
Negative ions are abundant in nature, especially around areas with moving water like a stream, the beach or near a waterfall. The heated gem stones in the Zen Bed provide a lot of these healthy negative ions.
We were meant to spend more time outdoors. In an office setting there may be only 200-400 negative ions per cubic square compared to 20,000 negative ions per cubic square in some areas in nature. A lack of exposure to negative ions can have you operating at a suboptimal level.
Technology dramatically disturbs negative ion exposure. Dryers, computers, TV’s etc. actually produce bad unhealthy positive ions. The result is our bodies are constantly undergoing free radical damage being exposed to the unhealthy ions.
What does the far infrared heat do to the body?
It can stimulate the circulatory system which boosts blood flow. That helps get oxygenated blood where it is needed. This in turn can help decrease pain, stiffness and inflammation. This slight increase in your heart rate can burn calories. Bonus!
How far does the far infrared heat penetrate the body’s tissue?
Approximately 4-6 inches. Deeper than any traditional heating pad or sports cream can reach.
What is a Zen bed session?
A Zen bed session utilizes crushed Jade, Amethyst and Tourmaline gem stones to create far infrared heat, healthy abundant negative ions and the option to use PEMF, Pulsed Electro-magnetic Field Therapy. All these combines to create a relaxing, warm, stress reducing cellular tune-up for your whole body.
