Do you ever feel drained after working on the computer for a few hours? Or just kinda “beat” when you’re in the office? Or a little scattered after a long cell phone call?
Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) may be the culprit.
Fortunately, there are things you can do to neutralize EMF radiation in your office and home.
About EMFs
EMFs are invisible electric fields that are generated by charged particles in motion. EMFs can be found in power lines, cell phones, computers, microwaves, TVs, answering machines, blow dryers, cordless telephones, etc.
EMFs are known to “disrupt” our body’s composition. Recent studies link EMFs to increased risks of leukemia, lymphoma, brain and breast cancer, melanoma, miscarriages, birth defects, immune dysfunctions and most recently, Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have also found that EMFs can decrease our pineal gland’s secretion of melatonin, an important hormone that regulates our wake and sleep cycle, moods and basic task functioning. Depressed melatonin levels are associated with mood changes, depression, cancers and other psychiatric disorders.
In offices, EMF exposures can be up to 10,000 times greater than levels elsewhere.
Yikes! So what can we do?
In today’s ever-connected world, avoiding EMFs is all but impossible. The key is to reduce exposure when and where we can.
Behold the beauty and power of salt lamps
They’re beautiful… natural… healthy… glowing… and great additions to your healing arsenal.
Salt mineral lamps contain negative ions that are activated with heat (hence the lamp). These negative ions are the chemical opposites of the EMF and pollution ions that bombard our environment. Think of these lamps as little vacuum cleaners that suck up or neutralize the bad guys.
The salt in these lamps is typically mined in the Himalaya, Poland, or Persia. Be sure you buy from a reputable source, as there are imitations out there. The key is to look for a deep, rich color, as this indicates more minerals.
I’ve always loved rock formations and geodes, so I was delighted to find these beautiful rock lamps that come in all shapes, sizes and colors. I’ve got one at work and one at home.
I love how the earth has healing elements that contribute to our well being. How generous and abundant our world is! As one famous gemology book states, “love is all around us.”
Other things you can do to reduce EMF exposure
- Unplug all electronics that aren’t in use. Some devices omit EMF particles even when they’re turned off! This is especially important when you sleep. Find a battery operated alarm clock or set it far away from your bedside.
- Seek out low EMF electronics. My hubby bought me an awesome low EMF blow dryer for Valentine’s Day called the Farouk CHI GF 2100 Rocket Professional Hair Dryer Low EMF. It’s expensive but well worth it and dries my hair faster than any other blow dryer I’ve ever used.
- Use a head piece with your phone. I’ve used a ferrite bead contraption from mercola.com because it reduces the EMFs from cell phones
- Try out a pendant. My mom uses a Qlink EMF Protection Pendant which supposedly helps reduce EMF exposure. She believes it works.
How about you? How do you neutralize or avoid EMFs?

I use a BIOPRO cell phone chip on my cell phone and a home harmonizer in the main living areas of my house. I’m sure my bunnies appreciate it! I do also have a Himalayan salt candle holder at home which I should probably take to my office at work, since I spend more time sitting there! Thanks for the reminder to use it!

Hi Erica!
I’ll have to check out the BIOPRO chip. I literally get headaches if I’m on my cell phone too long :). I bought a headset from Mercola.com that was supposed to block EMFs but can’t find an adapter for it with my new Blackberry.
The mineral salt candle holders are so pretty!
Thanks too for posting some more ideas (I’ll have to look into a home harmonizer… love the name! Who doesn’t want a harmonous home
?)
Take care.

That’s fascinating! I always liked them for their beauty, this is so cool!

I know! I literally bumped into one at my health club and was fascinated by their beauty. The club manager said that he’s noticed a difference with the club’s “energy” and he’s found work to be more refreshing.
I was sold right there :)>.

Hi Kady!
Thanks for your message.
I bought mine from Solay Wellness (http://www.natural-salt-lamps.com/). I have no affiliation with them and was introduced to their website through my health club.
I’ve been really pleased. In fact, I ordered one that I didn’t like the shape (I can be picky
and they returned and replaced it with no hassles.
Enjoy!
