Our PEMF products use different kinds of energy to deliver a range of benefits that improve the overall body systems and functions.
Infrared Deep Heat
Infrared deep heat reflects the regenerative powers of the sun: the strongest infrared source of all! The positive effects of infrared heat energy have been recognized and used since ancient times.
The Lumea PEMF Mats heat the body with far infrared heat. It uses FIR radiant carbon heating wire to heat the crystal materials which creates far infrared heat at the most beneficial wavelength to human health, over 90% in the 5-15 micron range.
Far infrared is often referred to as the light of life, for its importance in growth and nature. It’s similar to sunshine but without the ultraviolet.
It can provide a deep heating thermal energy to the body which can improve blood flow and the happy neurochemicals such as serotonin and dopamine.
With our infrared heating system, almost 80% of the energy reaches the body directly while only 20% is heats the ambient air.

Magnetic Field Energy (PEMF)
The Lumea PEMF Mats use 4 copper coils to produce magnetic fields at beneficial frequencies. You can choose different hz frequencies to from 0-30 hz. People often use PEMF to relieve pain, promote deep relaxation, boost endorphins, focus, improve sleep, energy and mood.
PEMF categories and associated benefits:
Delta (1-4 Hz) Frequencies in this range are associated with deep relaxation, enhance restorative sleep and support the body's regenerative abilities. They may assist in reducing stress and promoting a sense of rejuvenation.
Theta (4-8 Hz) Frequencies in this range can help induce a state of relaxation, enhance mental clarity and support creative thinking. They may aid in reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of calmness.
Alpha (8-12 Hz) Frequencies in this range can assist in promoting relaxation, improving focus and concentration, and supporting stress reduction. They may enhance mental clarity and aid achieving a state of mindfulness.

Biophotons
The Glow of the Cells: Biophotons (Greek: bio = life; photons = light) are particles that are emitted by cells and tissues in the body.
The Biophoton bio modulation on the Lumea PEMF Mats uses specific light frequencies is often associated with improving mood, boosting cellular energy, wound healing, soothing aches and pains and skin improvement through increasing collagen production.
Beta (12-30 Hz) Exposure to frequencies in this range may help increase mental alertness, promote cognitive function and support productivity. They may aid in improving mental performance, memory and overall mental acuity.
Generally, lower frequencies are more relaxing while higher frequencies can be more stimulating.

Negative Ions
When the crystal is heated with far infrared, healthy negative ions are released into the atmosphere. These are positively charged atoms which can be healthy and energising to breath. Negative ions have a fresh purifying quality and are apparent at waterfalls, near crashing ocean waves or following thunderstorms. Negative ions are reported to aid mental clarity and energy.

Schumann Resonance
This frequency, also known as the "heartbeat of the earth", is a geomagnetic oscillation that has been present on our planet since time immemorial. These are standing electromagnetic waves that continuously form at a certain constant frequency along the circumference of the earth.
When humans tune into the 7.83Hz frequency, they experience numerous benefits such as enhanced memory and learning, improved stress tolerance, emotional balance, and grounding.

Crystals
Our Lumea PEMF Mats include thick layers of crystal including amethyst, tourmaline and germanium, black quartz, onyx, marble and white crystal quartz. It’s ideal for alignment and in holistic terms “raising the bodies vibrational energy”. Simply lying on the crystals, without using the other features, can have a notable effect in itself, helping the body restore balance and providing a restorative grounding energy.
Crystal healing has become a popular holistic practice and is commonly used by therapists. The mats can also be used in conjunction with yoga postures and stretching.
