PEMF therapy has innumerable benefits for your health, and you should definitely start using it as soon as possible.
There are many ways to do this, the best of which is buying your own home-based PEMF device.
Any PEMF device is better than none, but buying the right one first will save you money, time, and nerves down the road.
Because of that, I decided to share with you my personal experience with PEMF mats, review two that I have personally tried, and give you the bottom line.
In this article, you’ll be reading about the ORS Quantron Resonance System and the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P.
PEMF Benefits Summary
First, we should talk about why buying a PEMF device and using it regularly is so important and beneficial for you.
There have been more than 70 years of scientific work done so far on the topic of PEMF that supports this claim.
So far, the scientific proof shows that PEMF therapy can help you completely cure, prevent, or control the symptoms of hundreds of diseases.
Some of the most widespread diseases that it treats are poor blood flow, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression, insomnia, pain, migraine, and so on.
PEMF therapy can work alone its magic on your body, or it can be a powerful ally to other traditional forms of treatment.
For example, it is known to improve the positive effects of antidepressants, and reduce the risk of experiencing any side effects.
In general, PEMF therapy has no side effects.
Therefore, you can freely use it even if you are seemingly completely healthy.
The only negative effects that you might encounter are certain discomforts such as warmth, tingling, or dizziness.
However, these occur only when you first begin to use PEMF, and usually disappear after a couple of days and/or sessions.
So, these are the reasons to consider buying a PEMF device. Let’s now see which one of the two mentioned is better to buy.
QRS Quantron Resonance System Review
The QRS Quantron Resonance System has a pretty unique historical background.
It was developed by a group of scientists in order to be used at the MIR space station.
The whole process took around 20 years, during which they designed and refined the device.
If you buy the QRS Quantron, you will get three items in the package: A control unit, a therapy mat, and a pillow pad.
The pillow pad and the therapy mat have a copper mesh inside, which you can adjust using the control unit in order to target different health conditions.
The QRS Quantron is suitable for those using PEMF therapy for the first time who might be sensitive to it, because it can work on very low-intensity settings.
It uses a multi-frequency sawtooth wave, and features automatic polarity switching.
This means that your body will not get used to the waves, and you will therefore be able to experience the same degree of benefits no matter for how long you use the device.
The control unit is digital, which allows you to adjust the settings quickly and easily, and choose the most appropriate for you.
Apart from the mat and pad that you get in the standard package, you can choose to include the pen applicator and many more accessories.
The QRS Quantron Resonance System supports a wide range of intensities and frequencies, which means that it can address numerous different health conditions.
The intensity ranges from 3.5 uT to 40 uT, whereas the frequency ranges from 0.3 Hz all the way to 1000 Hz.
However, there are also some disadvantages that you need to consider.
The first is the price. If you want to own a QRS Quantron, you will need to part with $3,950.
This is one of the more expensive devices on the market.
Another downside is the pen applicator, which is not very big, and it is not so easy to keep it clean if you use it often.
We believe there are better choices to be made with your money, so you should keep reading our review to find out more about the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P.
Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P
The Healthyline is a PEMF mat that is unique.
It is one of the rare mats on the market that uses a special blend of semi-precious gemstones to boost the general PEMF benefits that it provides.
The combination of precious stones in the mat is Tourmaline, Amethyst, and black Obsidian, which is what TAO stands for.
The amethyst makes up the highest percentage of the three because of its benefits, but also because it is tiny and thus comfortable to lie on for a long period.
That said, if you do not have enough time to use PEMF therapy during the day, you can use it comfortably at night.
The dimensions of the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P are 80”x40”, so you can simply place it on your bed and sleep on it.
This is possible because the Healthyline mat has a sleep mode, so you can adjust it to turn off on its own during the night.
Another reason why the Healthyline TAO-MAT-8040P is different from its competitors is that it is not a simple PEMF mat.
It combines several different technologies to boost its health benefits.
It serves as an FIR mat as well, and it utilizes negative ions to protect you from harmful external factors.
Negative ions are naturally found near oceans, waterfalls, evaporating water, and around tourmaline.
They are important because they maintain electrical balance in the air in the room, and protect you from electrosmog.
The Healthyline TAO-MAT comes with a 45-day trial period, so you can comfortably try it out and see if you like it.
If you find that it does not meet your expectations, you can return it and ask for a refund.
However, this rarely happens.
Moreover, if you buy it, you will have peace of mind because it comes with a one-year warranty and a five-year extended warranty.
PEMF Health Benefits
The health benefits that you can achieve with PEMF therapy are very diverse.
PEMF is great for your skin, your bones, your nervous system, blood flow, treating numerous diseases, and preventing even more of them.
Read on for some insight into the science behind PEMF therapy.
Promotes Healing of Nonunion Fractures
Bones heal slowly, and sometimes not at all, because there are not many blood vessels that directly feed them with blood.
When a bone fracture does not heal properly after a certain period, it is called a nonunion fracture.
In these situations, surgery is usually necessary in order to reconnect the bones once again.
However, nonunion fractures can also be treated with PEMF therapy.
A group of scientists from the Bangladesh Medical Research Council conducted a study in 1999 that included 13 patients with nonunion fractures.
At the end of the study, after 14 weeks of treatment, 11 out of 13 patients experienced complete healing. (1)
Successfully Treats Scleroderma
Scleroderma is a skin disease that occurs due to the overproduction of collagen.
It is not yet determined what causes this overproduction.
The symptoms include thick and rough skin that easily breaks and forms wounds.
Dr. Pawluk, a renowned medical professional who has dedicated his life to PEMF research, conducted a study on PEMF and scleroderma.
He determined that PEMF therapy improved the symptoms of this disease by 95%.
These improvements were in the area of reflexes, sweating, cold sensitivity, and ulnar nerve function.
Decreases Diabetic Factors
Diabetes, in addition to being a very serious disease, causes other even more severe health consequences.
One of these is diabetic polyneuropathy, which affects the peripheral nerves of the body.
Its symptoms include pain, tingling, and weakness on both sides of the body.
Luckily for those suffering from diabetes, a study conducted in 2003 that was published in Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology showed that PEMF therapy could reduce the symptoms of diabetic polyneuropathy, and improve the function of peripheral nerves. (3)
Supports Wound Healing
Another health benefit that is in part related to diabetes has to do with wound healing.
People suffering from diabetes experience reduced wound healing capabilities, which can lead to infection and gangrene.
PEMF can help these, as well as other, wounds heal in non-diabetic patients.
A study that supported this was conducted in Hong-Kong in 2014 with rats as subjects.
Rats with induced diabetes also had identical wounds induced, and then received PEMF stimulation.
Their progress was compared to diabetic rats with the same wounds that did not receive PEMF stimulation.
At the end of the study, the PEMF group showed much higher rates of wound healing. (4)
Accelerates Nerve Repair
Another study was conducted on rats in 1993, in which scientists tried to determine whether PEMF therapy could support nerve repair.
Specifically, the study looked at sciatic nerve injuries.
A group of rats as subjects received crush lesions of the sciatic nerve in one of their legs.
The other leg was used as a control. At the end of the study, those rats that received PEMF pretreatment before the injury showed much higher rates of nerve repair. (5)
Increases Range of Motion
Range of motion suffers greatly in patients experiencing cervical osteoarthritis.
This disease affects the neck, and apart from reducing range of motion, it also causes pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms.
The symptoms are most severe in the morning and then slowly subside during the day.
Luckily, numerous studies, including one published in Clinical Rheumatology, show that PEMF therapy can be used to treat successfully these conditions.
After the study, the patients who received PEMF stimulation reported a significant reduction in their symptoms, and a high rate of improvement in their range of motion. (6)
Increases Blood Flow
An increase in blood flow is one of the most important health benefits that PEMF provides, because through this health benefit many others are also achieved.
This improvement occurs through the process of vasodilatation, which happens when PEMF stimulation is administered locally.
With this, blood rich in oxygen and nutrients reaches the affected area more easily, feeding it with key substances.
Thus, PEMF therapy not only improves poor blood flow, but stimulates wound, bone, and muscle healing, among other benefits. (7)
Relieves Pain
Are you, like many, struggling with chronic pain?
You have probably spent a lot of money and time looking for a solution that you can use long-term without adverse effects.
Painkillers offer strong relief, but can be quite harmful and even cause addiction.
By contrast, PEMF therapy is completely safe, and does not cause any side effects.
A study conducted in 1993 at the International Pain Research Institute showed that PEMF therapy could successfully relieve pelvic pain in female patients.
All of the patients in the study reported much lower levels of pain at the end of the study, which are quite encouraging results. (8)
Reduces Arthritis Symptoms
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that affects joints, and usually afflicts people above the age of 65.
However, due to very unhealthy life habits and other reasons that are not clearly known, younger generations are developing this condition as well.
It causes symptoms such as swelling, inflammation, and pain, and significantly reduces a patient’s quality of life.
In 1998, a study was published in the Journal of the Indian Medical Association that proved PEMF’s benefits for patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
All patients experienced improvements in symptoms, but seronegative patients showed the most improvement.
Therefore, PEMF therapy is a new source of hope for patients suffering from this debilitating disease. (9)
