Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy is a great way to improve your cognitive performance or mood from the comfort of your own home. Entrainment is a key component of this therapy, as it allows the brain’s naturally occurring electromagnetic fields to be amplified at specific wavelengths.
The brain has been known to produce weak electromagnetic fields, called PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy, which have yet to be understood by the scientific community. These natural electromagnetic fields are directly associated with one's state of consciousness [27][28], and are classified into Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma waves, each with a different range of frequencies.
PEMF at home is becoming an increasingly popular form of therapy due to its ability to regulate and balance the body’s electromagnetic fields, allowing for an improved level of consciousness.
BRAIN WAVES
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) is a revolutionary therapy that can change your brainwaves to a more desired state. By amplifying the brainwaves you would like to amplify, you can use PEMF at home to achieve your desired state of mind. Brainwaves are generally divided into five categories - Delta (up to 4Hz), Theta (4 to 8Hz), Alpha (8 to 14Hz), Beta 14 to 38Hz), Gamma (38 to 42Hz). EEG (Electroencephalography) can be used to measure brain activity using highly sensitive electrodes placed on the head. PEMF therapy is an effective way to achieve your desired brainwave state to reach your desired level of mental performance, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.

DELTA WAVES
Delta waves are brain waves with the slowest frequency, from 0 to 4Hz. They are associated with deep sleep, where no dreaming occurs, and are believed to be linked to neurogenesis or the formation of new neural connections - a process related to the formation of long term memory and brain repair. Delta waves are found most often in infants and young children and can also be linked to the unconscious mind, playing a role in unconscious bodily functions [33][34]. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF Therapy) is a form of therapy that has been found to produce Delta waves, allowing individuals to experience many of these benefits at home. PEMF at home has been found to have a variety of health benefits and can be a great tool for overall wellness.
THETA WAVES
Theta waves, which range from 4Hz to 8Hz, are associated with deep relaxation and REM sleep, as well as with powerful emotions [33][34]. PEMF at home, or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, is a way to access these theta waves and experience their calming, healing effects. PEMF therapy is a natural way to reduce stress, improve sleep, and promote overall wellbeing.
ALPHA WAVES
Alpha waves, which range from 8Hz up to 12 Hz, are the first conscious brain waves to appear after the unconscious Delta and Theta states. When we're looking to relax and reduce stress, Alpha waves become extremely beneficial - however when there is a lot of stress, these waves are overwhelmed by the higher energy Beta waves. Alpha waves can be found when we're 'zoning out' and going into autopilot, like when driving or watching TV. PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy is an effective at-home treatment which can increase Alpha waves, helping to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Research has shown that PEMF Therapy can be beneficial in treating a variety of conditions, including chronic pain and depression, making it a popular choice for those looking to reduce stress and improve their overall wellbeing.
BETA WAVES
Beta waves, which range from 12Hz to 40Hz, are the active conscious state that we experience when we are focusing our attention and engaging in conscious thought, logic, and problem solving [33][34]. Drinking a cup of coffee can even increase your beta waves to access this stimulating effect. PEMF therapy can be used to access this state further, breaking it down into three separate categories, with increasing levels of awareness, focus, and energy in each [33]. PEMF therapy is a great way to access this stimulating state of consciousness at home.
GAMMA WAVES
Gamma waves, found from 40Hz to 100Hz, are associated with higher levels of cognitive processing and meditative states. Studies have shown a correlation between gamma waves and inspiration, sense perception, and enlightenment [33][34]. With PEMF at home, you can experience the same effects of PEMF therapy in the comfort of your own home, allowing you to reap the full benefits of this type of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.
