In our hyper-connected world, we are exposed to a new form of pollution: electrosmog. This term refers to the increasing density of electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by our electronic devices. Although this radiation is considered to be weak, its potential impact on health remains debated. The human body, with its own natural electromagnetic field, could be affected by these much higher artificial frequencies. Some studies suggest effects on the central nervous system and point to a possible correlation between intensive use of mobile phones and certain brain tumours.
Natural solutions to counter electrosmog
Earthing
Earthing is the practice of connecting directly with the Earth’s electromagnetic field. This field resonates in the same frequency range as the human body, which may explain its beneficial effects. To practise earthing, you simply need to be in direct contact with natural conductors such as the ground, trees or even concrete. Preliminary research has shown that this practice can help to :
- Reducing stress
- Relieving chronic pain
- Reducing anxiety and depression
- Improving sleep quality
Ionic foot bath
Regular use of an ionic footbath, such as the IonCleanse system by AMD, can complement the effects of earthing. This device is designed to:
- Eliminate toxins from the body
- Promoting relaxation
- Create an environment rich in negative ions, similar to that found in nature
Reducing exposure to EMFs
Here are a few simple steps you can take to limit your exposure to electromagnetic fields:
- Move your mobile phone away from your body and use the loudspeaker or headphones.
- Create an EMF-free zone in your bedroom.
- Choose wired Internet connections rather than Wi-Fi.
- Limit the use of wireless devices in the home.
- Reduce your use of the microwave or opt for alternatives.
Although electrosmog is ubiquitous in our modern environment, these practices can help reduce its potential impact on our health. By combining earthing, the use of detoxification technologies such as ionic footbaths, and reducing exposure to EMFs, we can take proactive steps to protect our well-being in an increasingly connected world.
