Understanding EMFs and Their Impact on Health

What does EMF stand for and what is it? 

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible to the eye energy fields emitted by electronic devices, power lines, and wireless networks. While they are a natural part of our environment, excessive exposure to EMFs, especially man-made ones, has been linked to various health concerns, including insomnia, headaches, brain fog, a sticky cough and increased risk of certain cancers. If you are concerned you may be suffering from EMF exposure, we strongly recommend you raise this with your medical professional and take steps to reduce EMF radiation exposure straight away. 

Health risks associated with EMF exposure

Extended exposure to EMFs has been associated with disrupted sleep patterns, fatigue, and even DNA damage. Studies have shown that children, pregnant women, and individuals with certain medical conditions may be more susceptible to the negative effects of EMFs, and we should take steps to be proactive and not wait for symptoms to show. 

Importance of blocking EMFs for overall well-being

By taking proactive steps to reduce EMF exposure, you can protect your health and enhance your overall well-being. Incorporating effective ways to block EMFs into your daily routine can help become a habit and, in doing so, will create a safer and healthier environment for you and your loved ones.

Tips for minimising EMF exposure:

• Keep electronic devices at a distance when not in use. Simple right? But is this a habit of yours? Are you teaching your kids these habits? 
• Use speakerphone or wired anti-radiation earphones instead of holding your phone close to your head. Even the Apple recommend never putting thier phones closer than 5mm to your body!
• Avoid placing laptops directly on your lap. Use a desk or table instead or grab yourself a radiation proof laptop / tablet pad to place underneath.
• Turn off Wi-Fi routers at night to reduce exposure while sleeping. This is a biggy! Make it a habit, and it will become the norm. It provides you with a more restful environment that allows your body to rest.
• Consider investing in EMF-blocking products, such as Faraday bags and clothing. This can greatly reduce or eliminate the high powered EMF coming off devices like mobile, Wi-Fi, smart meters etc. 

For more information on EMF-blocking solutions, you can explore products from reputable companies like DefenderShield.

Did you know that some plants are considered 'EMF-Blocking Plants' - place these in your home

Best plants for absorbing EMFs

Certain houseplants are known for their ability to absorb electromagnetic radiation and improve indoor air quality at the same time. It can be a good idea to place these in bedrooms and living rooms. Basically the rooms that you spend the most amount of time in. 

Some of the top EMF-blocking plants include:

• Aloe vera is known for its air-purifying properties and ability to absorb EMFs. Cool!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. As a father, I love having plenty of Aloe around for burns and scrapes. Now I know that it helps protect my family from EMFs, too!
• Snake Plant: Releases oxygen at night, making it a great bedroom plant for reducing EMF exposure. A lot of plants actually take in oxygen at night, so you don't want to place those in the room. Especially when the window is shut or there isn't ventilation. 
• Spider Plant: Effective at filtering air pollutants and reducing electromagnetic radiation. Also, it's a cool name to tell the kids!
• Peace Lily: Helps remove harmful toxins from the air and can contribute to a healthier indoor environment. And they look awesome. Perhaps a cool gift for the girlfriend or wife :)

Where to place these plants for maximum effectiveness

To maximise the EMF-blocking benefits of these plants, consider placing them strategically around your home:

• Place Aloe Vera near electronic devices like computers and Smart TVs, Wi-Fi routers, etc.
• Position Snake Plants in bedrooms to promote better sleep quality.
• Spider Plants are perfect for living rooms and workspaces.
• Peace Lilies can be placed in areas with high EMF exposure, such as near Wi-Fi routers.

Utilising Shungite and Natural Crystals for EMF Protection

Crystals, known for blocking/harmonising EMFs

Crystals have long been used for their healing and protective properties, including shielding against electromagnetic frequencies. Some of the most effective crystals for EMF protection include:

• Shungite: Known for its ability to absorb and neutralise EMF radiation. Shungite is only found in one place on Earth. It has a history of being used as a natural health remedy for thousands of years. Only in recent decades has it been shown to be effective at harmonising damaging man-made effects by changing the frequency into one that is bio-compatible with our own. Check out our friends, Groundedkiwi.nz, for a great range of Shugnite.
• Black Tourmaline: Creates a protective energy barrier against harmful EMFs.
• Orgonite: A combination of resin, metals, and crystals that can harmonise and block EMFs.
• Pyrite: Reflects and deflects negative energies, including EMFs.

How to use crystals in your daily routine for protection

Incorporating these natural EMF-blocking crystals into your daily life can help create a shield against harmful electromagnetic radiation. They won't eliminate EMF but go a long way to help reduce the potential exposure and, therefore, potential damage.

• Place Shungite near electronic devices like computers and Wi-Fi routers, power meters, cordless phones, and mobile phones.
• Carry Black Tourmaline in your pocket or wear it as jewellery for personal EMF protection.
• Use Orgonite pyramids in your home or workspace to help dissipate EMFs.
• Keep Pyrite on your desk or near your phone to deflect electromagnetic radiation.

Creating a Low-EMF Sleeping Environment

Tips on how to reduce EMF exposure in the bedroom

Creating a low-EMF sleeping environment is crucial for supporting quality rest/sleep and overall well-being. Here are some effective ways to minimise EMF exposure in your bedroom:

• Limit electronic devices: Keep phones, tablets, and laptops away from the bed to reduce EMF exposure. This may be hard for you at first as it was for me. Keep it up and soon it will be a habit. If you like to use your phone as an alarm clock, why not get yourself a battery-operated one instead. 
• Unplug devices: Disconnect any unnecessary electronic devices at night to decrease ambient EMFs. Even electric blankets should be unplugged from the wall as they still will be throwing off a little voltage EMF if left plugged in even why switched off. 
• Choose low-EMF lighting: Opt for incandescent (older style) instead of LED lights, which emit higher EMFs. Even salt lamps tend to amplify EMF. They might look cool, but not good for the bedroom. 
• Use EMF-blocking accessories: Consider using Faraday canopy beds or EMF-shielding fabrics to create a protective barrier while sleeping. Grounded Kiwi also has EMF blocking blankets which has a full silver lining stopping over 99% of EMF from going through and into you. 
• Position furniture strategically: Keep the bed away from electrical outlets, power strips, and electronic devices to lower EMF exposure levels. Grab yourself an EMF tester and discover what areas of your room are hiding the unseen high levels of EMF. 

DIY EMF-Blocking Paints and Fabrics

Recipes for homemade EMF-blocking paint

Creating your own EMF-blocking paint is a cost-effective way to shield your living space from electromagnetic radiation. Here's a simple recipe to make your own EMF-blocking paint:

• Ingredients:
  • Graphite powder
  • Interior latex paint
  • Water
  • EMF Tester (Optional) 
• Instructions:
  1. Mix graphite powder with water to form a paste.
  2. Add the graphite paste to the interior latex paint and stir well.
  3. Apply the EMF-blocking paint to walls, ceilings, or other surfaces to create a protective shield against EMFs.
  4. Retest to see if you need a second layer. 

How to make EMF-shielding fabrics for clothing and bedding

Shielding yourself from EMFs can be as easy as incorporating EMF-shielding fabrics into your clothing and bedding. Here's how you can make your own EMF-shielding fabrics:

• Materials:
  • Silver-coated fabric
  • Sewing supplies
• Steps:
  1. Cut the silver-coated fabric into desired shapes for clothing or bedding.
  2. Sew the fabric into garments or sheets to create EMF-blocking clothing or bedding. Many people like to line the pockets of their clothing to create a barrier between where they keep their phones and their body. 
  3. Applying one layer will greatly reduce the amount of Radiofrequency EMF coming off devices like mobiles and into you. SCRT products have a thicker layer or even up to three layers built into our products to offer 'Blackout' or Faraday-level protection.

Practicing Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques

Importance of mindfulness in reducing EMF sensitivity

Everyone has different 'levels' of sensitivity to EMF, and it is important to note that it often has nothing to do with being 'sensitive'. It has more to do with prolonged or heightened exposure to EMF, either recently or even some time ago. We often hear from our customers that this sensitivity is 'new'. In many cases, your body is just now showing signs of this exposure, but you have more than likely been experiencing unseen issues for a while. Again, if you have any concerns with your health, please seek the assistance of your trusted medical professional. Mindfulness practices can be valuable tools in reducing EMF sensitivity and promoting overall well-being. By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can become more aware of their environment and its impact on their health, including the effects of electromagnetic radiation. We explain mindfulness below...

Grounding and mindfulness exercises to help balance EMF exposure and promote well-being

Grounding techniques involve connecting our bodies to the Earth's natural energy which helps to restore balance and counteract the negative effects of EMF exposure. Some grounding exercises that can help mitigate EMF impact include:

• Earthing: Walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil to absorb the Earth's electrons. Check out Grounded Kiwi for the best Earthing mats.
• Tree grounding: Leaning against a tree to exchange energy and restore equilibrium. Note: Depending on their bark composition, some trees are insulated. It's best to kick the shoes off at the same time. Have you heard of 'box' breathing? This practice is great to do every day at least once and is a simple technique that only takes 2-5mins.
• Mindful breathing: Focusing on deep, intentional breaths to centre oneself amidst electronic stimuli. Best to do outside in fresh air and connected to the Earth if possible. Try doing this before lunch, especially if you work in a high EMF workplace like a city office block. 
• Visualisation: Imagining roots extending from your body into the Earth to ground and shield against EMFs. Another good tool to practice as you practice mindful breathing. 

Incorporating mindfulness and grounding techniques into your daily routine can complement other EMF-blocking strategies, contributing to a holistic approach to EMF protection and overall well-being.

I hope that this Blog has inspired you to take some steps to regain control over your body, your home, and where you work from EMF exposure. Remember, we weren't ever exposed to this level of pollution at any point in the past. We don't know for sure what the eventual outcome of this 'way of life' will be, but I know that I am not willing to take a 'she'll be right' attitude on this one.
