Episode notes
PEMF Polarity Basics
- PEMF devices have only two polarities: North and South, similar to simple science class magnets.
- These polarities mirror Earth's magnetic field, with magnetic flow from North to South poles.
Polarity Effects Are Similar
- North and South polarities in PEMF therapy have very similar effects on the body.
- Intensity and frequency of the device matter more than polarity for effectiveness.
Sandwich Effect Polarity Alignment
- For sandwich-effect PEMF treatments, align mats with the same polarity facing the body.
- If the device doesn't allow polarity switching, physically flipping the mat can achieve correct polarity alignment.
