Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. The Earth has a magnetic field, and PEMF is a technology which replicates the Earth's pulsing electromagnetic field into a convenient method of delivery, which is therapeutic to all living tissue.
A non-invasive treatment involving the use of electromagnetic fields to improve overall health and well-being.
Who shouldn't use it?
The intensities and frequencies we use in our systems are mimicking the earth's magnetic field, and are recognized by our biology therefore extremely safe, however, contraindications include; pregnancy, babies under 2 weeks, history of epilepsy, electronic implants such as pacemakers or insulin pumps. Those suffering with cancer, cardiac arrhythmia, hyperthyroidism or sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation treatment - these situations should be approved by a doctor or under their supervision.
You will feel relaxed, benefiting the physical body, mind, emotional state and spiritual health. The mind and body will feel more connected, less blocked with healing energy flowing through. Many fall asleep and some release emotion. You may experience light tingling or gently feel the waves penetrating through your body, but not everyone does, depends how sensitive you are and in tune with your being. You may feel thirsty as your blood and cells release toxins and detoxify. If you have pain you may feel instant relief, or a temporary surge of more pain or pressure as circulation is increased to the site of injury enabling inflammation to decrease. Overall, we are yet to meet someone who didn't enjoy the therapy.
How should I dress/prepare for the session?
Most like to wear loose, comfortable clothing or yoga wear. You can come before or after work however, and wear whatever you like. It is best to turn off and remove any smart watches and cellphones, to avoid emf interruption and exposure, as well as distractions. Coming hydrated is recommended and using the restroom prior so you don't have a full bladder during the session.
Will I feel anything during my treatment and will it hurt?
Depending on what system you are using. The Prime Hybrid has FIR (far infrared technology) integrated within the PEMF full body mat and gives a gentle warming. This may make you sweat, which is good as we release toxins and increases circulation and brings the healing even deeper. Some people experience 'hypnic jerks' as they release energy from their bodies, or as they enter meditative states when they are transitioning from wakefullness and sleep. Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields within the low-frequency and low-intensity range can usually not be sensed by the user. However, many people may feel a slight tingling in their fingers, arms, toes or legs. Additionally, due to the increase of blood circulation, people feel a pleasant warmth inside their body. The warmth is hereby not generated by the applicator (when not using the FIR) itself but by the body's reaction on it (= resonance effect). People with a very high sympathetic level (stress) tend to fall asleep quickly during a PEMF application due to its balancing, relaxing and calming properties. Be aware to slowly stand up after an application to avoid positional vertigo.
A full session is approximately an hour. You will be lying down on a massage table on top of the PEMF MAT the entire time. The first 25 mins will be using the triple sawtooth wave full body applicator (with far-infrared if you are using the Prime model). At this time, if you are also receiving the Brain Entrainment, the goggles will be on as well as binaural beats using headphones. The second part will be a localized application of the PEMF therapy using square wave applicators for vital organ health, and isolated areas of pain and/or injury using the PAD and/or SPOT. At this point you can have an eye pillow on and enjoy therapeutic music and various other tools if you are being treated at PEMF PURA VIDA, such as tuning forks, aromatherapy, sound bowls and instruments. Energized water is offered as well as medicines to purchase to support you during your sessions and along your healing journey.
How often can I use PEMF therapy?
The number of sessions needed and treatment time varies for each individual depending on how long you've been dealing with the issue, acute or chronic, what other underlying health issues you may have which your body may decide to work on first before the issue which is showing symptoms, and how quickly your body responds to energy medicine. PEMF helps every single individual on a cellular level, it's not a matter of if, but when. We believe it should be a part of everyone's lifestyle for optimal health, performance and preventative maintenance!
How long is a PEMF session or protocol?
A full session last about an hour, 24 mins on the full body MAT, 24 mins with square wave PAD applicator and 8 mins with SPOT. This can vary slightly depending on the ailment and recommended protocol, as well as intensities and frequencies used at different times of day following the built in bio-rythm clock. When renting or owning your own system, sessions can be done up to 4 times a day with 3 hours in between when really working through a problem or dealing with something chronic. This is following the suggested protocols using the iguide created by SwissBionic. 8 mins minimum is needed with each applicator to receive a cellular detoxification and recharge and up to 24 mins for each applicator if you have the time to go long, this will of course be more beneficial.
Is PEMF FDA approved?
The food and drug association first approved PEMF in 1979 for Orthopaedic surgeons to use for nonunion bone healing. Now certain systems are registered by the FDA for safety and efficacy. SwissBionic is registered with FDA and please always check this before using or receiving PEMF therapy as the systems are not treated equal. There are many cheap and poorly made systems on the market which can do more harm than good and you should not receive this therapy without first looking into certain safety and efficacy parameters which are discussed in this website, very important!
How would you get the most out a PEMF treatment?
Physiologically your body will respond in a positive way to PEMF therapy as our biology is designed to heal from the frequencies and intensities of planet earth, whether you believe in it or not. Coming with an open mind and trust in your body, and it's ability to heal itself with the empowerment PEMF provides, will get you into a better frequency of receiving rather than being stuck, skeptical or blocked. Hydrated, relaxed and comfortable will get you healed faster, but not necessary.
How does PEMF therapy work?
By delivering electromagnetic pulses to the body, which can help penetrate the tissues. These pulses stimulate the cells in the body, helping to promote healing and cellular regeneration.
Why is PEMF therapy effective against pain?
It is effective against pain in different ways! It helps to stimulate endorphin production, which is your body's natural pain killer, helps to generate micro currents within neural pathways decreasing the "pain signal" transmission to your nervous system and many other countless ways including decreasing inflammation at the site of injury.
What are the main effects of PEMF therapy?
Helps to restore the body to its original optimal condition at the cellular level, creating optimal conditions for cellular repair and restoration. This cellular detox allows the body to treat a variety of ailments through it's own therapeutic pathways of healing.
Are there any side effects?
There are no side effects of PEMF therapy, but some clients report symptoms of something called a "healing crisis". A healing crisis is a period of time where a condition can get worse as toxins are being released and your body is working something out. Form example, a patient suffering from excess could get worse for a temporary period of time as toxins are exiting through various detoxification pathways. Secondly, if toxins are not being flushed out properly due to a lack of water, the toxins may reattach elsewhere in the body and cause symptoms such as headache, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, in rare cases temporary blurred vision. This is all temporary and it's very important to understand the importance of hydration while receiving the therapy.
Is there anything I should do after my treatment?
Yes, drink plenty of water to flush out all the toxins that were released during your session at the cellular level. Some people chose to take a binder, especially when they first begin the therapy to help draw toxins out. Have self awareness as emotions may rise, giving your self grace and compassion as you heal and let go of what no longer serves you. Healing is not always an easy process, but will be greatly rewarded as you get through it.
How will I know if PEMF therapy will work for me?
At the cellular level, human beings are energetic beings. We are more energy than matter, and our body's respond positively to the healing frequencies of the Earth since we evolved on this planet. It's not if it will work, but a matter of how many sessions it will take to see results, depending on what you have going on, how deeply rooted the ailment is and how many layers of issues your body has to work through.
How many TREATMENTS until I see results?
Usually, basic success with a PEMF therapy depends on the severity of the condition itself and on the age, general condition and lifestyle of the user/patient. Acute conditions = faster results, chronic conditions = results may take longer and are usually insidious. If used with consistency according to the proposed application protocol, results become present within a time frame of 2-4 weeks, with some acute conditions in even shorter time. Hydrating is very important while utilizing PEMF applications. Please make sure to always drink a glass of purified or activated water prior to a PEMF application, this will greatly improve efficiency! Our bodies are extremely intelligent and will chose to work on the issue which is more imperative to our healing first.
What type of frequencies are used?
SwissBionic Solutions PEMF systems only use earth based frequencies in the 0.1-30 Hz range, since these are the frequencies human and animal life evolved in. The frequencies and intensities will change based on the type of treatment you are receiving and due to the built in bio-rhythmic clock. This results in the frequencies and intensities changing according to what time of day you are receiving your therapy. Our systems also have a polarity shift, so every time you receive therapy with a SwissBionic system, it is always a new experience for your body, avoiding the potential for the cells to acclimate.
Can I still have treatments if I have metal implants?
Yes you can (with the systems we use)! During a PEMF treatment you are subjected to low intensity electromagnetic fields (with SwissBionic systems, remember, not all are low intensity and with PEMF less intensity is deeper healing) and low frequencies, just like you would receive from spending time outdoors, away from cell towers, phones, computers, microwaves, MRI machines, etc (which are high intensities and frequencies). By comparison, during an MRI the human body is subjected to an electromagnetic field that is upwards of 10 000 times more intense than a PEMF treatment. Not every PEMF device can be used in case a patient carries a metal implant. High-intensity devices create interactions which may lead to a heating-up of the metal inside the body! iMRS prime and Omnium1 systems from Swiss Bionic Solutions can be used without any restrictions as their applied intensity levels are too low to create interactions with the metal.
Magnet therapy, or "static magnet" therapy has been used to thousands of years. PEMF differs by introducing the magnetic field to the tissue at a predetermined frequency. Magnet therapy could be compared to PEMF therapy if the magnets were applied close to the tissue then pulling them away, repeating this process over a certain time, creating a type of pulse. PEMF is an advanced form of magnetic therapy with multiple frequencies and intensities applied; with intention to the living tissue and tailored accordingly to the targeted ailment or problem.
How will I feel after a treatment?
Most report feeling relaxed, more balanced, a sense of inner peace. Some feel hungry or thirsty due to increased metabolism and detoxification. You may feel more pressure or temporary tingling or increased pain at the site of injury as the energy moves through the body and attention is brought to where the healing needs to occur; by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation. Better focus, sleep and clarity are often reported even after the first session.
Is all PEMF therapy the same?
No, not at all! Just like when you are purchasing a car, a watch, phone or computer, the quality and technology has a broad range. Different manufactures use different quality components. We have yet to see any systems which can confidently be compared to SwissBionic, therefore these are the only ones we use and refer. Not only the quality is far superior than others; the frequencies, intensities and complex wave forms are what make SwissBionic Solutions shine above and beyond the rest. See the SwissBionic BUYERS GUIDE for more information.
How does Swiss Bionic differ from Bemer?
Although SwissBionic and Bemer have been producing PEMF devices the longest in the industry, that is where the similarities end. SwissBionic uses 3 different complex wave forms including the Square Wave (which the NASA study used and Bemer uses in their marketing but doesn't actually use this complex wave form in their systems) and the Triple Sawtooth Wave (as well as basic Sine Wave in certain fast start programs). The Triple Sawtooth and Square Wave are both complex and extremely effective wave forms, with a rapid rise and fall enabling the voltage gated channels to open, allow waste to be removed from the cell, and nutrients in. Because of the complex wave forms offered in SwissBionic Systems, our bodies don't recognize the therapy where it could potentially lead to a plateau in the healing, offering an ever changing experience in each session. SwissBionic Systems can offer us therapy for years and years to come because of this uniqueness. SwissBionic offers unique features like far infrared integration, bio-feedback SPO2 with Kubios HRV monitoring which offers tailor made sessions unique to the client according to how their heart rate variablility responds to the intensity of the field. Built in bio-rhythm clock, polarity shift, 350+ protocols for morning, noon, evening and night plus incredible fast start programs. The company has Research and Development at the front of their business over celebrity endorsement or name attached to studies, which shows in the quality of the coils, Mat and overall system. Brain Entrainment is such an important factor in the body + mind connection and the affects this has on our body's ability to heal and our mental and emotional health. We don't believe this should ever be left out of a healing modality, so this was a 'no brainer' when choosing a PEMF system. See more details HERE before choosing which system is best for you, if you are torn between the top 2 in the world.
Is the waveform important when choosing a PEMF system?
Very! When selecting a PEMF system for your own healing or practice, the waveform is extremely important. An effective therapeutic waveform keeps the cell interested and keeps habituation from occurring.
What should I know before buying a PEMF system?
There are many variables that come into purchasing a high quality PEMF device. Do your research well, and check the quality of the components ensuring they are medical grade, quality, material and size of coils and what the coils are incased in (not plastic!) wave forms used, varied intensity settings, signal generator built in (otherwise 'dirty electricity' from the wall could be going into your body!) how long the company has been in business (majority disappear after a few years and your money is wasted with no after care service or support), various applicators including full body mat and localized applicators and brain health support. Bonuses are bio-feedback, bio-rhythm clock, polarity shift and far-infrared technology integration as options. SwissBionic is on top of the latest technologies and updates, offering unique upgrades to the systems for free every 2-3 months! Ensure the company you are buying from has been around for at least 10 years and doesn't charge you monthly or yearly fees to update your system and/or do the business.
With every SwissBionic purchase and registration, the purchaser/practitioner receives their own SwissBionic Website and Back Office access where they can get 'certified' as a PEMF expert and practitioner. There are many resources in the back office to support your learning and the business if you chose to. Whoever referred the system to you is who you are meant to purchase your system from. This would be your support up line who you will primarily be going to for questions and support while learning everything there is to know about PEMF! If you purchased your system from Amanda at PEMF PURA VIDA, you get free lifetime access to the VIP section of this website with lots of organized resources and support, in which you can also share with your downline, and be a strong leader yourself!

Can I use PEMF on my pets?
What is brain entrainment?
Brainwave entrainment or 'brainwave synchronization' refers to the scientific observation that brainwaves will naturally synchronize with a rhythm of an external stimulus such as lights and colour, language and speech, music and sounds. SwissBionic systems offer Brainwave Entrainment to stimulate the brainwaves by using visual and acoustic signals. This treatment can be used alone or in conjuntion with a PEMF treatment. Users have reported the brainwave entrainment has lead to increased concentration, reduced stress, anxiety ADHD, spiritual awakenings and so much more. Chromotherapy has positive effects on the physical healing of the body as well, connecting the mind getting your brainwaves out of the Beta and into the deeper meditative states of Alpha, Theta, Delta; to send healing signals to the body for pain, inflammation, skin, increased circulation, enhanced mood, and so on.
Application of Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields has a vast history within the scope of science and medicine and is scientifically researched for more than a century. Basically, there are thousands of studies and scientific articles published and available, however, most of them with the limitation of lacking comparable classification. Please be aware, that a study which contains the term "PEMF" may not and cannot be claimed for every system or device on the market! The decisive factor of whether a clinical study can be related to a certain system or device is solely depending on the applied properties the study has been performed with. These properties are: waveform, intensity levels, applied frequency spectrum, applicator design and -technology, duration of applications, environment of the study, number and age group of probands, duration of the study. As of today, competitive manufacturers and suppliers of PEMF devices are claiming their "own" research and create the impression, that only their devices or systems are "medically" approved or deliver certain results. Industry-friendly studies with dependent and "paid" individuals are only good for marketing, but do not, in any way, reflect scientifically and independently proven effects. The same applies to often called "patented signals": Under no circumstances can a patented signal or patented waveform claim a clinically proven health-benefiting effect. A patent is nothing else than a legal form of protection of intellectual property. This approach is not only misleading but also illegal and against applicable law. The applied PEMF properties of iMRS prime and Omnium1 systems are based on fundamental and basic research (Biology, Physics) with Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields and their effects on living organisms - all concentrated on the crucial constituents: waveform, intensity levels, frequency spectrum, applicator layout and technology, resonance and coherence! The efficiency and performance of a PEMF system or device is by no means depending on the brand name but solely on the applied properties! 10 000 studies and 2000+ double blind studies have been done proving low intensity PEMF therapy's safety and efficacy for 1000's of ailments and dis-eases. 150 studies on PEMF with PubMed.
How do healthy people benefit from PEMF?
In order to create and maintain a healthy organism, the smallest intelligent building block, the human or animal cell, needs to perform on the highest level possible. Metabolism serves as the mechanism to transform all applied nutrients, oxygen and other vital substances into ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate and at the same time to efficiently release the produced "waste". ATP is predominantly responsible for initiating and maintaining all vital functions within a living organism. In addition, proper microcirculation enables the organism to supply vital information via hormones and neurotransmitter, to effectively remove waste and to sustain immune defense. The performance and functions of all tissues, organs, glands, muscles and joints are subject to impeccable microcirculation and cellular functionality.
The number 1 success factor of PEMF is based on the willingness to use the application on a consistent basis. Number 2 success factor is to follow the individual protocol, provided by the Swiss Bionic Solutions Certified LifeStyle Consultant. Number 3 success factor represents the personal lifestyle. Hydration, diet, exercise and avoiding prevalent vices will contribute greatly to a faster and considerable success. If all three above mentioned rules will be followed accordingly, improvement usually appears within a time frame of 4-8 weeks. Nevertheless, if absolutely no change can be observed, please contact your assigned Swiss Bionic Solutions LifeStyle Consultant and ask for a protocol amendment. Sometimes, certain users suffer from a so-called regulation blockage. By adjusting the application parameters and eventual additional measures, the blockage can be released and the effect kicks in. It's not a matter of it, but when.
Basically, and if assigned because of a particular situation, apply as long as the healing period has been accomplished and you are free of any symptoms. However, PEMF application is also designed and effective as a preventive modality. Apart from a healthy lifestyle (proper diet, hydration, exercise, avoid alcohol and nicotine), implement PEMF application into your daily routine! The use of iMRS prime or Omnium1 is very beneficial in terms of keeping your entire organism healthy, PEMF supports relaxation, stress relief and improves your quality of sleep! We believe this should be in everyone's home.
