Home » PEMF
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. PEMF therapy uses low-level electromagnetic fields to interact with the body’s naturally occurring electrical activity. The waveform, intensity, and frequency used in treatment are gentle, specific, and aligned with what is found in nature and within the human body.
Every cell in the body carries an electrical charge, and essential systems—such as the nervous and cardiovascular systems—function through electrical signaling. In fact, all living organisms emit an electromagnetic field.
Over time, factors such as injury, illness, aging, stress, and environmental exposures can disrupt or weaken this cellular electrical balance. PEMF therapy is often compared to recharging a depleted battery, helping to restore balance at the cellular level, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
Research suggests that PEMF therapy may improve microcirculation, enhance tissue oxygenation and perfusion, and support cellular repair. By improving circulation at the tissue level, PEMF may also assist the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Individual responses to PEMF therapy vary, and while some people experience noticeable improvements, others may see more subtle benefits. Consistent use over time—rather than a single session—is typically recommended.
Studies support the use of PEMF for potential benefits such as:
PEMF can be especially beneficial for individuals who do not feel well enough to exercise, as it may help increase blood flow without physical exertion. Athletes also use PEMF technology to support recovery between training sessions.
There are several high-quality PEMF devices available on the market.
At Sparkle Health, we use the BEMER® (Bio-Electro-Magnetic Energy Regulation) device. We selected this device due to its FDA clearance as a medical device for muscle stimulation, as well as the body of research supporting its effectiveness.

The best way to determine whether PEMF therapy is right for you is to experience it. Consistent use—ideally several times per week—is recommended for optimal results. While daily use is ideal, we understand this may not be feasible unless you own a personal device.
We offer series packages that allow PEMF therapy to be incorporated into your wellness plan. PEMF sessions may also be combined with massage therapy or far infrared sauna treatments to help maximize overall benefits.
Your session will take place in a warm, comfortable room. You will lie flat on a massage bed, remaining fully clothed (shoes removed). The PEMF device is placed beneath the table.
Most people do not feel any strong sensations during treatment and often find the experience deeply relaxing—some even fall asleep. Occasionally, mild sensations such as warmth or gentle vibrations in the hands or feet are reported.
PEMF therapy is well tolerated, and side effects are uncommon. It is not recommended for individuals to undergo active chemotherapy, and caution should be used for those with implanted electrical devices such as pacemakers.
In some cases, people may initially experience mild fatigue or a temporary increase in pain, followed by gradual improvement. Starting with shorter or less frequent sessions can help minimize these effects.

Are you getting all of the nutrients essential for good health?
If you aren’t, you’re not alone. The Standard American Diet makes it very difficult to get, and correctly absorb, all of the essential vitamins and minerals we need for our bodies to run optimally. While taking a multivitamin is a good first step, if you have certain deficiencies you may need additional supplements.
Fermented or cultured foods have been a traditional source of nourishment for people worldwide for what appears to be most of human history. Think sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, idli, miso, preserved lemons, sour pickles – even chocolate is fermented. The process of fermenting foods has been used for centuries both as a way to preserve and store them for later consumption, but also as a method to make them more digestible and nutritious. Fermentation can help to acidify the intestinal tract, providing a less than ideal environment for pathogens and yeasts.
