As a huge fan of PEMF devices and their benefits, I have tested many of them in recent years, looking for the one that would suit me best.
Some of them I didn’t like at all, and some of them completely blew me away.
The trick is to find the device that suits your needs best.
I have thus decided to review two quite different PEMF devices today, and share with you my experience with them.
The first one is the Magnopro, and the second one is my favorite, the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P.
Let’s see which one you should choose.
PEMF Benefits Summary
Our bodies have always tended to live in harmony with nature, because we ourselves are part of it.
Planet Earth has a magnetic field that protects us from harmful cosmic radiation.
This magnetic field also has a strong impact on our cells and the function of our organs.
The frequency at which the Earth’s magnetic field works is not random, but measures 7.83 Hz.
The idea of PEMF therapy is to mimic the effects of the Earth’s magnetic field, and recharge our cells with the energy necessary for them to function properly.
Ever since the electrical revolution, the space around us is filled with electrosmog.
These are harmful electromagnetic frequencies that are emitted by all the electronic appliances and gadgets around us.
PEMF devices help us to neutralize the effects of these harmful frequencies.
Moreover, because our cells also function as batteries and store energy that we can use to complete our daily tasks and stay healthy, we need to make sure that they are always charged.
There are more than 70 trillion cells in our body, and all of them need to be in balance and working properly in order for us to be healthy.
If one cell is out of balance, it will start a chain reaction that might lead to serious health issues.
Some of the most common health conditions for which PEMF therapy can help us treat and relieve symptoms are:
- Arthritis
- Nerve damage
- Pain
- Depression
- Scleroderma
- Glaucoma
- Multiple sclerosis
- Migraines
- Poor blood flow
Magnopro Review
The Magnopro is a PEMF device first designed and produced in Australia eight years ago.
During that time, it has not undergone any major upgrades, so it is essentially still the same machine.
It is intended for home use because of how gentle it is, and how simple it is to use it.
If you order the Magnopro system, you will receive a treatment mat, a control unit, a treatment pillow, and a carrying bag.
The treatment mat is specifically designed to be placed on a bed or a chair so that you can receive your treatment comfortably.
The treatment pillow can be used to treat specific parts of the body, and can be easily taken on trips and used in a car.
It is not possible to overdose on the Magnopro because of how gentle it is.
However, it is advisable not to use it for longer than 30 minutes two to three times a day.
This is because its effects last for 6-8 hours after each session.
With the control panel, you can choose five programs.
They are designed to be used for specific health conditions.
- Heart and blood flow
- Sleep and relaxation
- Energy
- Discomfort
- General prevention and recovery
The Magnopro uses a high-frequency signal to achieve its health benefits, which ranges between 2-32 Hz. Other features include:
- Dimensions: 5.3 x 1.7 ft.
- Weight: 5 lbs.
- Electromagnetic field intensities: 1-136 microtesla
- Six induction coils
- Six levels of electromagnetic field intensities
- Average pulse length: 0.001 to 0.1 second
Some downsides of this device of which you should be aware are that it does not use the NASA square wave, it has no biorhythm clock, it uses high frequencies, and it cannot be upgraded.
Moreover, the device itself has not been changed or improved since it was created.
The Magnopro company itself recommends other PEMF devices for more complicated health conditions.
They recommend using the Magnopro for some simple health problems, while they advise using the QRS for more serious issues.
Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P Review
Another PEMF device that you can use instead of the Magnopro for both simple and more complicated health conditions, and from which you can expect great results, is the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P.
This device is my personal favorite, and I have tried many so far.
There are numerous reasons why it is my PEMF mat of choice; the most significant one is versatility.
Healthyline is a relatively new company to the market, but they have not tried to pump out multiple devices and make a name for themselves that way.
Instead, they have decided to focus on only one device and make it multifunctional.
What I mean by this is that the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P is both a PEMF mat and an FIR device, and it also produces negative ions.
Moreover, this mat also contains semiprecious gemstones, so it provides health benefits that way, as well.
The gemstones used are tourmaline, amethyst, and obsidian.
They are warmed up by the copper coils inside the mat, which further increases their health benefits.
When these stones are heated, they emit FIR radiation, which mimics the effects sunrays have on our health.
This is known to boost our immune system, and support other vital functions.
The negative ions that are also produced have a protective role, and neutralize the negative electromagnetic radiation that is everywhere around us.
However, this device is necessarily a bit more expensive than the average one on the market because of the 30 lbs. of gemstones that you get with it.
Even so, I believe that it is a good deal, and I did not feel like I was wasting my money when I bought it. You basically get three devices for the price of one.
In case you feel differently, it is good to know that the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P has a 45-day trial period.
Therefore, if you’re not impressed by it, you can simply return it and ask for a refund.
Main specifications:
- Frequency: 7.83 Hz
- Intensity: 1500/cc for negative ions and 5-14 um for FIR
- Cost: $1500
- 45-day trial period
- 1-year warranty (5-year optional warranty)
PEMF Health Benefits
Choosing the right PEMF device will maximize the health benefits that you can expect to get from your treatments.
That is why it is important not to rush, and to choose wisely.
The PEMF benefits that you can expect are diverse, and affect different areas of health.
PEMF can treat different parts of your body as well, including your bones, skin, muscles, and various organs, including the vital ones.
Let’s take a closer look at the scientifically-proven health benefits of PEMF therapy.
Promotes Bone Recovery
Bone fractures do not always heal easily.
Sometimes they need much more time than expected before they can heal successfully.
We call these fractures nonunion fractures.
It was thought that surgery is necessary to reconnect the bones again, but today we have different knowledge.
PEMF therapy can successfully heal nonunion fractures, according to a study conducted in 1999 in Bangladesh.
In total, 13 patients participated in the study that lasted for 14 weeks.
During this time, the patients received regular PEMF stimulation; at the end of the study 11 out of those 13 experienced complete healing. (1)
Treats Migraines
Due to the stress that we all feel on a daily basis, migraines are becoming more and more common in both young and old.
Other factors, like lack of exercise and poor diet, also play a role.
There isn’t a cure for migraines yet, apart from taking potentially-harmful painkillers.
However, in 1999, a study proved that PEMF therapy could substitute for painkillers and provide lasting relief from migraines.
At the end of the study, which was conducted in the United States, the subjects reported much lower levels of both intensity and frequency of migraines. (2)
Offers Depression Relief
Another health condition that arises in part because of our stressful lifestyle is depression.
It is one of the most prevalent causes of work disability in the world, according to the World Health Organization.
However, around one-third of patients do not respond well to antidepressant medication.
Because of that, scientists from Denmark tried to discover how to boost the effects of antidepressants.
They concluded that PEMF therapy can help.
In their study, it was determined that when antidepressant therapy was coupled with PEMF therapy, its effects were much increased and the incidence of side effects was much lower. (3)
Alleviates Muscle and Joint Pain
Another health condition for which medication is not doing us justice is pain.
The first solution to which doctors resort is painkillers.
However, sometimes these do more harm than good, because they have many negative effects, and can lead to addiction.
That is why we need a different approach.
One solution is PEMF therapy. In 1993, its beneficial effects were proven in a study conducted at the International Pain Research Institute.
The results showed that PEMF therapy successfully decreased levels of pain, and did not cause any adverse effects. (4)
Increases Local Blood Circulation
Do you often have cold feet or hands? Chances are you have poor blood flow.
If these are your only symptoms, your condition is not that severe, so you should start treatment right away in order to prevent it from developing further.
One therapy that can help you is PEMF, which was proven to improve blood flow when administered locally.
Scientists at Wake Forest University conducted a study that showed that PEMF therapy causes vasodilatation, thus bringing more blood locally to the affected area. (5)
Helps with Arthritis
Arthritis is a debilitating and a progressive disease which causes joint pain, swelling, and inflammation.
It can manifest in different parts of our body, and usually worsens with time.
Unfortunately, we cannot yet cure it, but we can effectively prevent it or stop its progression.
In 1998, scientists from India proved just that.
PEMF therapy can successfully alleviate the symptoms related to rheumatoid arthritis, and prevent the disease from developing further.
If you fall into any of the RA risk groups, you should also use PEMF therapy as a form of prevention before the illness even develops. (6)
Improves Range of Motion
Does your neck hurt every morning, and it is difficult to move it around and start your day normally?
If yes, you are probably dealing with cervical osteoarthritis.
Apart from reduced range of motion, this disease also causes pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms.
In order to relieve these symptoms, you should consider using PEMF therapy.
A study published in Clinical Rheumatology showed that PEMF can easily treat these symptoms, and in that way improve the quality of life of most people struggling with cervical osteoarthritis. (7)
Helps with Nerve Repair
Nerves are very complicated system in our body and, once damaged, it is very difficult to heal them.
The most common nerve injury today is that of the sciatic nerve.
Many people injure it because of lack of exercise and poor posture, and struggle with the pain for the rest of their lives.
In 1993, a study was conducted on mice which investigated whether PEMF therapy could help with sciatic nerve injury.
The answer was yes. There were two groups of mice in the study, both with sciatic nerve injury.
One group received PEMF therapy, and the other didn’t. The group that received PEMF stimulation showed much higher levels of sciatic nerve repair than the control group.
Therefore, those struggling with sciatic pain can now find relief in PEMF therapy. (8)
