What is endometriosis?
Is a condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb are found elsewhere. Every month, these cells react to the menstrual cycle and also bleed like the cells in the lining of the womb. However, there is no way for this to leave the body, causing inflammation, pain and the formation of scar tissue.
This can affect a person’s life in a number ways, including:
How can PEMF help those suffering?
In a small pilot study, it suggested that Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) exposure to women with endometriosis and pelvic pain showed a dramatic relief in symptoms.
One of PEMFs well known benefits is aiding the reduction of inflammation in the body. PEMFs can help to increase circulation and blood flow, blood carries the nutrients and oxygen necessary for cellular function and repair, so enhanced blood flow makes sure that these essential elements are reaching inflamed tissues, promoting healing and supporting overall tissue health.
For those trying to treat the pelvic pain, it would be suggested to apply PEMFs with a localised applicator to the pelvic area to target the PEMFs.

]]>Sleep disturbances are very common, in a survey, Mental Health UK discovered that 79% of brits struggle to switch of a bedtime, as well as 60% waking up throughout the night with thoughts of work and other worries. With the most common knock-on effects being tiredness, becoming less productive, feeling snappy, and feeling over-emotional.
PEMF therapy has positive effects on calming the brain and on regulating circadian rhythms. Disturbed circadian rhythms have an important role in controlling our sleep patterns and cycles, and stresses, whether physiologic or emotional, can effect circadian rhythms.
When we go to sleep, we will go through specific brainwave frequency patterns including theta when we first fall asleep (4-7 Hz), and delta when in our most deep sleep (1-4 Hz).
There are many PEMF devices that can help us harness these frequencies needed to help us get a deep, restorative sleep. With many devices having pre-set night/ evening programs, or other devices allowing you to create your own programs utilising the frequencies you wish harness. As well helping to influence brainwave activity, PEMFs can help with other factors that can affect our sleep including improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and helping to reduce stress.

]]>Self love is the foundation for our overall wellness, helping to support various aspects of our wellbeing including both our physical and mental health. PEMFs can help you on your self care journey in many way...
- Stress reduction:
Self-love involves minimising stress, helping us make room for feeling relaxed. PEMF therapy has been shown to help reduce stress by promoting relaxation, and calming the nervous system. Many will use PEMF alongside more traditional relaxation techniques such as meditation to help enhance the effects.
- Enhanced sleep quality:
A key component to our self-care is making sure that we are getting plenty of rest and rejuvenation. PEMF has the potential to influence brainwave activity, particularly promoting the transition from beta waves (associated with wakefulness) to alpha and theta waves (associated with relaxation and sleep), in turn helping our body's be in the right state for a good night sleep.
- Boosted energy levels:
Loving yourself involves making sure you are taking care of your bodies vitality. PEMF therapy has been associated with increased energy levels, helping you feel more prepared to tackle your day with enthusiasm.
- Circulation and vitality:
We all need to make sure that we are showing our bodies love from the inside and out. PEMF therapy stimulates blood flow and circulation, contributing to improved oxygenation of tissues and enhancing overall vitality.
How can you incorporate PEMF into your routine you ask?
- Morning awakening:
Begin your day with a PEMF session to energise your body and mind. Set some positive intentions in your mind for the day ahead, allowing the electromagnetic fields to boost your energy levels and mental clarity.
- Midday recharge:
Allow yourself to have a break in your day for a little midday pick me up session with your PEMF device. You can provide yourself with a natural energy boost to get you through the rest of your day, with many devices allowing you to use them on the go.
- Evening wind-down:
Prepare for your evening with a PEMF session geared towards relaxation. Pair it with calming activities such as meditation or reading to create a tranquil bedtime routine.
By introducing a stress reducing, energy-boosting technique, you will really show your bod the self-love that it deserves. Make a commitment to yourself today and invest in a PEMF device here.
]]>Raynaud's phenomenon is a vascular disorder characterized by exaggerated responses to cold or stress, leading to restricted blood flow to extremities such as fingers and toes. The resulting vasospasms can cause numbness, tingling, and colour changes in the affected areas.
PEMF therapy involves the application of electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular activity. Benefits can include:
- Improved blood circulation:
PEMF therapy has been shown to enhance blood circulation, promoting better oxygenation and nutrient delivery to tissues. By addressing poor blood flow, it may contribute to reducing the severity and frequency of vasospasms associated with Raynaud's.
- Anti-inflammatory effects:
Inflammation is a contributing factor in Raynaud's symptoms. PEMF has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects, potentially alleviating the inflammatory response and offering relief to individuals.
- Stress management:
Stress and emotional factors often trigger Raynaud's episodes. PEMF has been reported to have a calming effect on the nervous system, helping individuals to manager stress.
- Smooth muscle relaxation:
PEMF therapy may help the relaxation of smooth muscles in blood vessels. This effect can help to prevent spasms and maintaining a more relaxed vascular state.
While research on PEMF therapy is ever evolving, there are already many possible benefits. You can take a look at NewMed's wide range of PEMF devices here.
]]>Localised PEMF devices are great and have their benefits, especially when travelling, however in our opinion, if you are new to PEMF’s and you want to start out, we suggest a full body PEMF device is usually the first place to start due to the huge range of benefit for the entire body and not just one area. Where you are likely to see benefits from using a localised PEMF device only, is mainly in the event of recent and acute injuries to one area, sleep & neurological issues. There are other exceptions, however we find full-body PEMF devices are the best starting point and offer the maximum benefits with one session. Having a full body and localised device is the gold standard and where you will get the most benefits, but if you can only afford one, then we suggest looking at full body devices first. You can find my review of ‘full body PEMF’s' HERE.
No. 1: CELLER8
The unique thing about the CELLER8 is that it is a controller for a full body mat as well as an applicator, as the actual controller emits PEMFs too! The CELLER8 controller and localised PEMF device is my clear winner when it comes to applying PEMFs to one area of the body, but as an added benefit, as mentioned above, you can plug in a full body mat with this device too. You don’t have to buy the full body mat to start with and it’s something you can add later on if you prefer. There is a smaller mat and travel mat in development for later in the year too. However, let’s only mention the benefits of this device as a standalone and localised PEMF device for the benefit of this review…
The CELLER8 offers a higher intensity than most other rechargeable battery-operated devices and has a lot more functionality and personalisation too. Its max intensity is 100 gauss (10,000 microtesla) and easily has a treatment range of 2 meters from the device. It has 5 easy to use and preset programs including a custom setting so, you can choose a frequency to use. In general, most users would just use the ‘Morning’ and ‘Evening’ setting for general repair and maximum effect in one area. The battery is rechargeable, so there is no need to keep buying batteries and a full charge can actually last a few days of use depending on the frequency and strength you are using during a session. It’s got the best battery I have seen in these portable units before.
The elasticated strap provided makes it super easy to just strap the device to any area of the body and use on the go. You can even apply it to the base of the spine (bottom of the back) and benefit most of the body as this is a perfect location to hit systemic benefits through the spine. A normal session is pre-set to 20 minutes but if you are only using the controller alone, I personally use it up to an hour a time as you can forget its there. The device actually lets you set it for up to 12 hours if you like, but this would mainly be used for the sleep benefits of this device. The programme called ‘Night’ is ideal to pop under your pillow to one side or on a bedside table and it will use frequencies that are present in our brain during deep sleep. I hardly sleep without mine under my pillow these days. Its especially effective when battling jetlag!
Lastly this device has a ‘Meditation’ setting, which is also rare to find on other PEMF devices. This will harness frequencies present when in deep meditation. It can help the mind find the perfect frequency to switch off and really meditate to the full potential. You can use this setting again, strapped to the bottom of your back or on the floor next to you when meditating.
For eliminating localised pain in joints or using on the go and away from the home, this device really stands out from the crowd and is so easy to use as well as looking so sleek and modern. The attention to detail that has gone into this unit is clear to see and the controller even comes with a soft carry case to keep your new best friend safe when storing. The device was only launched late 2023, so there is not a lot of reviews currently, but we are starting to get so much great initial feedback from customers using these and its great to see a product like this entering the PEMF world and easily moves to my number one spot.
No. 2: FlexPulse
The FlexPulse comes high up our tree when looking at localised PEMF devices due to a number of reasons, but mainly its multi-functionality and uses. I originally started using a FlexPulse after a sprained ankle injury. I found that it brought the inflammation down quickly and it was really easy to apply and use with the small applicators. Usually, a sprained ankle would take me months to recover from, but this time it was a matter of weeks before I was back in the sport. After this experience, I started to experiment with what else it could be used for.
I researched through the manual and explanations of the different programs that can be found. There are 10 loaded onto the device and all are unique. Program 3&9 are based around the 10Hz frequency due to a number of studies around 10Hz and its benefits. Most of the programs use a background frequency too, so that our bodies are constantly stimulated. Program 3 and 9 are the ‘go-to’ programs to start on for most things, including injuries and I find them so beneficial! Program 1 also became a quick favourite of mine! Program 1 is based on the ‘delta’ brain wave frequencies and when placing an applicator under your pillow can assist you to get a deep and restful sleep! Remember to reduce the intensity to 1or2 when using for sleep though. This is when our body recovers and prepares us for the day ahead. I rarely sleep without this little gadget close by now. Program 2 is the most natural frequency based on that of the earth’s frequencies and a top favourite between our customers looking for those natural remedies. Program 5 is for alertness and a perfect companion when traveling and resetting the body clock when suffering from jet lag. By placing a coil at the back of your neck, it will be like taking a coffee without the caffeine crash and bad breath after! Program 10 was designed with migraines in mind but these frequencies have also been linked to many positive neurological responses. Lastly the remaining programs are based on previous studies when using PEMF and customers find access to these specific frequencies useful.
The device itself is pocket-sized and the applicators are easy to put anywhere on the body. I often apply it and go shopping without anyone knowing it’s there. Its battery operated and comes with 2 applicators to use on both sides of the area if required, but to get the maximum intensity of 200-300 Gauss, one applicator is recommended at a time.
The intensity of this device is great but it does come at a cost to the user… The downsides to this device is that the applicators that come with it are wired and therefore create a bit of entanglement if not tucked away somewhere. The applicators are also disposable and last about 6-12 months with regular use. So, expect to buy these disposable parts if you intend to use it a lot. Also, all that power does make the battery last less than some other portable units.
All in all, the FlexPulse has so many uses and benefits. I never used to travel without this little guy! With the nature of my business, I am often overseas visiting manufacturers of PEMF devices often and especially when I don’t have access to a full-body unit, this device is an essential travel partner. Other than when I travel, this used to sit on my bedside table at night dragging me into a deep sleep so that I am ready to hit the next day. It’s easy to see why this device is in our top 5 localised PEMF devices. It was my number one pocked piece, although I have to admit, that was until the CELLER8 came along, as that is my go to localised device now.
No. 3: Oska Pulse
The OSKA Pulse is not far behind the FlexPulse if not on par for different reasons. Cutting to the chase the OSKA Pulse only has 1 program available and it runs at around 9 Gauss strength. Both of these feels like a disadvantage on the face of it when comparing it to the FlexPulse and CELLER8, however simplicity, battery life, ease of application and the science behind the programmed frequencies are right up there making this device easily in the top part of the recommended localised PEMF devices, if not one of the best in some aspects.
To operate the device, you only press one button and you will see some nice blue illuminations coming from inside the device. It will then run a full program changing frequencies at inputted time periods. It comes in a 90-minute and a 180-minute version. But the real unique part of this device and the reason it is a trade secret by the manufacturers, is their programmed frequencies. They call it the 4 stages of healing and we find that it does exactly what it says on the tin! Most PEMF devices will use one specific frequency or a few but they tend to focus on one ailment. For example, reducing pain or trying to reduce inflammation or specifically for bone fusion. The OSKA is unique in the fact that is runs certain frequencies throughout its program that hits all angles. It will use frequencies proved to be good for inflammation first off, then it will change to a frequency perfect for blood flow and oxygenation, then it changes frequencies to target the pain in an area and lastly it then changes to target the cells and assist the process of healing the trauma in the body as well as bone regeneration! These four stages are inputted into the program as it runs through its 90/180 minute session and as a healing journey these work very well together.
Lastly the OSKA Pulse manufacturers have put a lot of investment in getting this device fully medical registered, which a lot of the other manufacturers do not have as wellness devices. Therefore, they can make medical claims as well as use these products within the healthcare setting. A statement on their website reads: Oska Pulse is a Class IIA Medical device to be used alone or as an adjunctive therapy for improved healing of existing conditions, reduce inflammation and as an additional therapy in treating osteoarticular conditions, (i.e. arthritis).
All round, with the ease of use and application, battery life, cost, robustness, customer feedback as well as its medical accreditations; the OSKApulse is not a device to live without. If you already have a full body device with medium to high intensities and you are looking for something to accompany that and take with you during the day, then this is the device for you!
No. 4: NeoRhythm
The NeoRhythm is a relatively newly released device, but I really feel it needs a mention in this list. It is also different from the other localised devices as its main application is not pain or injury, but it has a particular focus on neurological concerns, sleep and general alertness. The device is worn on the back of the head and connected to a smartphone and app via Bluetooth. Usually, this overcomplicates PEMF devices and makes them a pain to use quickly, but this device works well with its app, and it is getting some really good feedback in the market already and I personally find it so intuitive to use. You can even replay the last program used without the need for the app by double tapping the side of the device, so once you have found your go to program, it is easy to use without connecting to the phone each time.
A few companies have tried to make head worn PEMF devices before but none of them (in my opinion) have done a great job like these guys have. We actually sold two other variants of head worn devices in the past by other manufacturers but both were blighted with design issues as well as connectivity problems. Safe to say, either were not on the market for too long. We often see the younger folk using these devices due to the compatibility with their phones, but also for concentration during exams or in the workplace office setting. As well as the useful concentration settings, these devices are often used for meditation and relaxing. However, as the popularity of PEMF increases we see all ages buying these now. The NeoRhythm also has a sleep setting, but we find customers don’t find them comfortable to sleep in and would prefer products like the FlexPulse for sleep in particular, however recently some customers are taking these off and just placing under the pillow for good effect.
Due to the success of this device the manufacturers have also launched a small and soft pad to use, which has been found the best option for sleep but also for affixing to areas like the lower back while driving or sitting on the device on an office chair. This manufacture has done a great job with their head worn device as well as the pad and if the rumours are true, they will be releasing more devices all compatible with the same app.
No. 5 Medicur Pro
The reason the low-intensity Mediur Pro makes our top 5 is simple and that’s how I am going to keep this entry… short and sweet…
It’s a well-rounded and proven PEMF device that’s been on the market for a long time and even used in the NHS in the UK healthcare system. It’s so simple and easy to use and comes with a strap to keep it in place. It comes with 3 buttons only and that’s all you need for this simple device. We generally recommend using each button depending on the time of day you are using it to keep it even simpler. 20Hz in the morning, 7.8Hz throughout the day, and 3Hz in the late evening and if needed during the night.
Its main applications are for anything related to that four-letter word… pain! We see a lot of these devices going to the older generation, due to its ease of use and simple application.
Not one to be ignored, but does lack the intensity for more chronic issues in my opinion.
Why can’t you find a PEMF device on our list of top 5, which you expected to see there?
This could be for a number of reasons but most of these are quite simple. We don’t endorse ‘multi-level marketing or selling techniques’, (MLM) which unfortunately some of the PEMF manufacturers adopt. The common result of multi-level selling is that the price of the device is commonly very high for its technical abilities. That’s not to say that the device is not good, but it could mean that you are paying more for your buck. These are very often the same manufacturers that use key selling features as a ‘must-have’ or statements like ‘unique patented waveform’ for example.
It could also be because the devices are not available in Europe and don’t have the certifications needed to sell in the UK and Europe. Therefore, we don’t have experience with them and we cannot comment.
Lastly, it could just be because the device simply didn’t make our top 5, recommended by our customers.
The devices mentioned in this review and their comments are the opinions of our own and our customers, they are not to replace any medical advice obtained by a doctor and we do not claim to be medical professionals.
Andy Smith, Managing Director – NewMed Ltd
]]>As Managing Director of a company who specialise in PEMF devices from a range of manufacturers and many years’ experience in the field, I have decided to write my own, independent review of PEMF therapy devices from listening to our customer’s feedback and experiences. Hopefully, this will help others when making decisions on investing in their own device.
When we strip back to the fundamentals of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Devices. What is important? What makes a good device? The range of FREQUENCIES offered the INTENSITY settings and the placement of the coils that generate the pulsed magnetic fields. Do we need any additional smart features? Do we need any additional gadgets? 9 times out of 10… no! You just need a tried and tested system, something which is offering you the right range of frequencies and intensity for your specific needs.
It is also narrow-minded to state that there is one device that fits all. We can get close to saying this with some of the top-rated devices, but everyone is different and everyone reacts differently to the therapy. The therapy is not condition-specific and this is why we encourage our customers to contact us in the first instance so we can do our best to point them in the right direction. This also depends on the time someone has to dedicate to sitting on one of the devices for any given time period each day.
So, let’s get to it…
No.1: Curatron XPSE (also referred to as Parmeds Pro Special in some countries)
The Curatron XPSE model is one of our most popular systems and in our opinion the ‘Gold Standard’ when it comes to PEMF therapy for the home setting. Curatronic have been in the market for many years and there is a reason for this. Their device is extremely well made and although it may appear slightly dated, there is no reason to update its look. These devices very rarely come back to us for any technical issues and the customer return rate for the satisfaction of results is nearly negligible.
Curatron devices set themselves aside from the rest as they offer some of the highest intensity in their full-body mats that you are likely to find on the homecare market and we see such quick results because of this. There are many arguments online about low vs high-intensity devices (mostly written by low-intensity manufacturers), but how can we argue when the results are right in front of us and the customer feedback of these devices are always outstanding. As well as the impressive intensities these devices offer, you have the ability to reduce the power using certain programs, which allows it to offer high and medium intensity in one.
The mat itself is comfortable to lay on, which again is important when you will be spending a lot of time on these. They can be placed on a bed, a large sofa, or therapy bed in a spare room, so you can enjoy some alone time. The coils inside are also quite unique to other systems. They are large coils using a lot of copper wire and a lot thicker than most systems as this is mainly to create those high intensities. Another result of these thicker coils is that we never see any issues with them breaking, which is a more common problem with lower intensity devices. Once a copper wire inside breaks the circuit is no longer complete and the device will need to be repaired, but this is not really an issue with the Curatron units.
The device only has 10 pre-set programs, which I see as a huge benefit. You really do not need a million different programs when it comes to PEMF devices. It’s better to make the use of the system simple and so you will use it more often. The programs themselves rarely stay on one frequency, so they still offer the body a range of frequencies to avoid becoming accustomed to one frequency. If you require the ability to design your own program, you can with their PC compatible version of the XPSE or their more expensive and even higher intensity version called the 3D.
Overall the Curatron XPSE is a very well rounded device. If you have the budget, then this is the one you should go to get the best and quickest results. As with all PEMF devices, we still encourage a healthy lifestyle and diet including vitamins to get the most out of them, plus staying hydrated. The XPSE definitely gets the results and with the intensities, it offers its great for long term chronic conditions as well as those conditions that require deeper penetration, such as bone and cartilage issues.
No.2: Hugo Intense
The Hugo Intense (and Pro) devices offer one of the highest intensities possible in a full body option. The full body applicator on the Hugo’s range from 6000-8000 Gauss, which packs a punch and for a full body option, I wouldn’t suggest going any higher than this, simply because there is no need. Most full body PEMF devices, you cannot feel the therapy but with these devices you can feel each pulse. Depending how confident you are, you can turn these up to create quite the sensation in your muscles as it stimulates the cells in the body.
The Hugo Intense variant is designed for home use and the Pro version is designed to be used multiple times per day in a professional setting. As a home user, you wouldn’t need to use the Intense more than once or twice per day on a 12minute setting. So, if you don’t have time in the day and you want to reach very high intensities then this is a good device for you.
Here’s the down side... These devices use ‘spark gap’ technology. Most modern PEMF devices now use ‘solid state’ technology, which effectively means that if you look after your device, it will never breakdown. Spark gap means that over time the device will wear out and at one point it may stop working completely. This would then require a chamber replacement. NewMed offer a complete chamber replacement including parts and return shipping for just under £900, but some suppliers may vary. To reach these intensities a lot of manufacturers will opt for spark gap technology, but you just need to factor in that with regular use you are likely to be changing the chamber every 2-3 years. Also, this device does not have the ability to set a specific frequency. There is only a dial to change the intensity from low to high as they base their results on using very high intensity rather than a specific frequency. Despite these two downsides, I still hold these devices very high up my list of favourites and it’s quickly becoming my device of choice in the office due to its intensities and little time needed to take out of my day each time I use it. The full body option and intensities of this device make it very popular with a lot of customers.
Thanks for their ‘CE certification’ we are able to now offer this device in the UK and EU, which a lot of PEMF devices in these intensity ranges do not have, making them illegal to sell here. It’s always worth asking a manufacturer if they have these certifications as all of our supplied devices have. If they cannot provide it, you will almost certainly have issues importing them and also have issues getting insurance if you intent to use them on others.
No.3: CELLER8 Full Body Package
The CELLER8 is a very new PEMF device, launched late 2023 and actually a device I designed and created myself, yes that’s right! I have been involved with PEMF devices now for over 10 years and used so many variants personally. I have done my best to create a device that ticks the most boxes when it comes to technical ability, portability, intensity, affordability and all in a sexy design. With the help of my family medical business (Bedfont Scientific Ltd), we have designed and manufactured something very special. The only reason this is not my number one on this list is because the other two devices above offer higher intensities and have been on the market longer, but they come with the obvious price difference, making the CELLER8 the perfect device for 95% of the home users that want one device that suits most needs and fits into their busy lives the most. It also helps to show that this review is un-biased as it can be.
My biggest issue with PEMF devices is that people would invest a lot of money in them but for one reason or another they wouldn’t use them and therefore they won’t get the results they deserve. Issues of time constraints or usability would prevent a user from getting the necessary sessions they need to feel a difference quickly. Therefore, I wanted CELLER8 to fit into their lives rather than having to dedicate a lot of time to it. The CELLER8 is a localised controller and applicator that you can use all the time or for short sessions. But you can strap it on and go, and that’s very important when you have a targeted issue. But a huge benefit with the full body package is that you can simply plug in the full body mat to the CELLER8 and use it anywhere too. The battery in the CELLER8 is super powerful and medically approved, therefore it will power both the localised controller (100 gauss) and the mat (50 gauss) without the need to locate yourself next to a plug socket. I want people to have the freedom to introduce PEMFs on their morning commute, during a meditation session or even whilst doing yoga. For us less supple, its just a super convenient device to sit on for full body PEMFs when using for so many different applications or just a targeted device on the move.
If you are new to PEMFs too, this is a great all-rounder device. It only has 4 preset programs and 1 additional custom program to make it as easy to use as possible. The 4 preset harness a number of different frequencies that are better through different times in the day. This includes ‘Morning’, ‘Evening’, ‘Meditation’ and ‘Night’ modes. So, whether you are trying to apply PEMFs for general health and wellbeing, to encourage deep sleep or for something more chronic, these programs have it all covered by cycling frequencies that are all beneficial. If you are old school and want to set a specific frequency and stick to it, then use the ‘Custom’ mode to enable you to do this.
Everything is adjustable on the CELLER8 including the intensity, frequency, time, sound and polarity, but to keep it simple, just stick to the preset and preloaded programs and it couldn’t be easier. The ‘Night’ mode even gives you the ability to set it to up to 12 hours to be your portable sleep buddy.
After 6 long years in development, I am glad this PEMF device is now available and I can proudly say this is one of the easiest and most portable full body mats on the market with a low to high intensity range and affordable price. Later this year the travel mat and pet mat will be released for the CELLER8 too, which is an optional extra to the standard package. So, keep an eye out for these too.
No.4: PENTON PRO
The PENTON PRO is also a newly launched device towards the early part of 2023 and new to this review and will for sure keep moving up this list over time and when we have more customer feedback.
The PENTON PRO has a really unique feature that a lot of other PEMF devices just doesn’t offer. The only program built into it, called ‘Natural Progressive’ mode, offers the ability to use up to 4 applicators and locate them around a room or the house. These applicators all offer up to 2,500 gauss strength and are designed to create a harmonised environment within that room. The frequency in this mode will automatically change every 20 minutes, with a 20-minute rest for the device in-between sessions. It’s perfect for getting your daily dose of PEMFs without having to lay still or dedicate time to a device. It’s also been used under a bed for example, so that the user can get PEMFs while they sleep. As the device offers such high intensities the range is also very beneficial and means it can be applied further way from you if that’s the best or easiest way for you to get your session each day without disrupting your busy life.
As well as this unique feature of the ‘harmony’ applicators, the PENTON PRO can also be bought with a full body mat included. This way you can really send your body to orbit with the high intensities applied directly through contact to this mat. A down side to this device is that the only other way to apply a session is by selecting one frequency at a time. Some users prefer this and they only want to apply one frequency at a time, but more of the full body mats on the market offer programs that harness multiple frequencies to hit more than one issue at a time.
Overall, the device has been designed well and looks like it would last a lifetime! The mat and applicators are quite heavy compared to other systems but mainly that is down to the intensity it offers and the raw materials of copper needed to generate these intensities. The cables to the mat can be zipped away in a handy pouch at the top of the mat when its folded and not in use. The applicators are made in a sturdy material so, there is no worry about dropping them or any wear and tear over the years of use. Because, lets face it, the cost of these PEMF devices, you want them to last a lifetime and I am sure the PENTON PRO would do just that.
No. 5: BioMag Lumina Home Package
The BioMag Lumina 3D-E is a medium to high-intensity device and is also a top favourite of ours and our customers, for so many reasons. This device is proud to hold many medical registrations in Europe. It comes with 6 pre-set and easy-to-use programs, including the ability to make your own unique program (if purchasing the clinic upgrade). As I said before it’s best to keep it simple. But if you have a number of friends/ family that want to use it or even thinking of setting up your own clinic, then you can upgrade the device by just inputting a code and then you will have easy access to more features such as intensity controls to really alter the programs that are right for you. The individual allows you to set your own frequency, intensity and time (as mentioned, clinic upgrade needed), if there is a certain program you want to design yourself. People often want to be able to do this when they have seen a successful study for their condition and they want to replicate it, but we often say that other programs are likely to work too, so this feature is not a necessity… but certainly nice to have. Usually, pre-set programs call upon the use of more than one frequency per program which we believe is much better than just setting the device to only use one frequency for the duration. It is possible for the body to become accustomed to one frequency and therefore it becomes less effective over time. Chop and changing between the 6 already pre-set programs gives the body all the tools needed to repair.
There are options to take this device with a “Full Body” mat or a “¾ length” mat. I actually prefer the 3/4 length mat as it has its own advantages, as it can easily be used on a chair as well as a sofa and bed. This mat also makes it more portable and smaller to carry around. It also makes it possible to use it wrapped around a certain limb to intensify the treatment in that area. They call it the 3D effect.
For its portability, ease of use, the price point in the market, and results, it gets a huge thumbs up from myself and the team at NewMed.
Why can’t you find a PEMF device on our list of top 5, which you expected to see there?
This could be for a number of reasons but most of these are quite simple. We don’t endorse ‘multi-level marketing or selling techniques’, (MLM) which unfortunately some on the PEMF manufacturers adopt. The common result of multi-level selling is that the price of the device is commonly very high for its technical abilities. That’s not to say that the device is not good, but it could mean that you are paying more for your buck. These are very often the same manufacturers that use key selling features as a ‘must-have’.
It could also be because the devices are not available in Europe and don’t have the certifications needed to sell in the UK and Europe. Therefore, we don’t have experience with them and we cannot comment.
Lastly, it could just be because the device simply didn’t make our top 5, recommended by our customers.
For more assistance you can find a BUYERS GUIDE on our website HERE. This has a useful table with listed conditions and the most beneficial intensity as recommended by Dr Pawluk in the USA, who is a guru when it comes to PEMF devices and probably one of the most experienced practitioners in the field of PEMF’s.

]]>For those new to the term PEMF, Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) are a non-invasive technique that utilises electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular activity within the body. Devices that emit pulsing electromagnetic waves at specific frequencies, aim to promote overall wellness. PEMF has been explored for its potential benefits in reducing inflammation, managing pain, enhancing blood flow, and supporting various aspects of health.
Now let's get into incorporating PEMF into your fitness routines...
Pre-Workout Prep:
- Increased blood flow and oxygenation: PEMF has been shown to enhance blood flow, promoting better circulation and oxygen delivery to the muscles. This in turn prepares the body for the demands of intense physical activity, optimising energy levels and performance.
- Improved flexibility and range of motion: PEMF therapy may contribute to increased flexibility and improved joint mobility, reducing the risk of injuries during workouts.
During Exercise:
- Optimising cellular function: PEMF can potentially enhance cellular metabolism, this may translate to increased endurance and sustained energy levels during workouts.
Post-Workout Recovery:
- Faster muscle recovery: PEMF has been associated with accelerated muscles recovery by promoting repair and reducing inflammation. This is crucial for minimising downtime between workouts and preventing overtraining.
PEMF therapy is continuing to become a very popular method for fitness enthusiasts and athletes, offering a natural, holistic approach to enhancing pre and post workout routines.
]]>Are your goals to help kickstart your wellbeing journey or to enhance your current wellness routine? Let us introduce you to PEMF therapy...
PEMF therapy involves the use of electromagnetic fields to improve overall health and wellbeing, these electromagnetic pulses simulate the Earth's natural magnetic fields, promoting balance and optimal functioning within our cells.
PEMF devices emit electromagnetic pulses that penetrate the body, targeting our cells and tissues. Stimulation at a cellular level has shown to enhance cellular repair, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness. Other benefits of PEMF can include: enhanced sleep quality, improved energy levels, faster wound healing, more effective recovery, and more...
PEMF therapy stands out as a versatile and effective approach to promoting overall well-being. From cellular repair and inflammation reduction to pain management and enhanced sleep quality, the benefits of PEMF therapy are so diverse!
Think that PEMF could be the answer to your health and wellbeing goals but you're not sure where to start? NewMed have a range of different aids to help you start your PEMF journey, including free consultations, a range of PEMF online courses, as well as being able to directly contact our PEMF experts.
]]>What is PEMF?
PEMF involves the use of electromagnetic fields to improve health and well-being. This technology has been used for various therapeutic purposes, including pain management, tissue repair, and now, sleep enhancement. PEMF devices generate pulsing electromagnetic fields that penetrate the body to stimulate cellular activity.
PEMF can impact sleep in many different ways such as:
Melatonin Production – PEMF therapy has been linked to increased melatonin production. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, and higher levels of melatonin are associated with better sleep quality.
Stress Reduction – PEMF may help reduce stress and anxiety, both of which are common contributors to sleep disturbances. By calming the nervous system, PEMF can create an environment conducive to restless sleep.
Brainwave Activity - PEMF has the potential to influence brainwave activity, particularly promoting the transition from beta waves (associated with wakefulness) to alpha and theta waves (associated with relaxation and sleep).
You can learn more about PEMFs by enrolling on the NewMed Education Hub where you can find a range of PEMF courses for those no matter the stage of their PEMF journey.

With the popular rise of podcasts, NewMed Ltd created the PEMF Podcast to share knowledge, as well as allowing listeners to hear from other PEMF users’ experiences. NewMed have also created the NewMed Education Hub, which includes a variety of PEMF courses to help gain knowledge no matter what stage of the customers PEMF journey.
In recent days, NewMed Ltd have also used their knowledge to create an innovative and modern PEMF device on the market, CELLER8®. NewMed have created and launched CELLER8® to help take the confusion away from PEMF, while ticking all the boxes such as intensities, portability, and ease of use. Having attended various different biohacking exhibitions, being in the hands of many people trying to improve their health and wellness, CELLER8® is already changing the PEMF market.
Andy Smith, NewMed Managing Director commented “Myself and the team are thrilled to have been recognised as the Most Innovative Family Business Kent, it shows the dedication and hard work from the entire team, and shows our commitment to driving innovation in the PEMF world! This award is a reflection of our passion for PEMF and we are looking forward to continuing to push the boundaries to help implement PEMF into the lives of many.”
]]>One of the most well-known benefits of PEMF therapy is pain management. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, PEMF can provide relief for various types of pain, including chronic pain, arthritis, and musculoskeletal health.
PEMFs help to accelerate the body’s natural healing mechanisms by increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to cells. This can result in faster recovery from injuries, surgeries, and other medical conditions.
PEMF has been found to promote better sleep by reducing insomnia, anxiety, and stress. It helps to balance the body’s natural rhythms and can lead to improved sleep quality and duration.
PEMF aids in improving cellular function and efficiency. By optimising cellular processes, it can enhance the overall functioning of the body and support various systems, such as the immune, cardiovascular, and nervous system.
Inflammation is a common factor in many chronic diseases. PEMF has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which can leas to better overall health and a decreased risk of chronic conditions.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy offers a wide range of benefits for both physical and mental health. Whether you’re seeking pain relief, better sleep, reduced inflammation, or to improve your general wellness, PEMF therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free approach which is worth exploring.
]]>One emerging and promising approach to helping relieve arthritis's symptoms is PEMF therapy. How does PEMF therapy work you ask? PEMF involves the use of electromagnetic fields to stimulate the body's natural healing process.
Benefits of PEMF therapy for arthritis include:
Cellular Rejuvenation: PEMF therapy delivers electromagnetic pulses to the affected area. These pulses penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting cellular repair and regenerations
Inflammation Reduction: Inflammation is a significant contributor to arthritis pain. PEMF therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation by affecting cellular processes involved in the inflammatory response.
Improved Range of Motion: With regular use, PEMF therapy can enhance joint mobility, making it easier for individuals with arthritis to move comfortably.
Non-Invasive: PEMF therapy is a non-invasive approach, meaning that it doesn't require surgery or the use of medication with potential side effects.
Pain Management: By improving blood flow and reducing inflammation, PEMF therapy can alleviate pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Complementary Approach: PEMF therapy an be used alongside other treatments and therapies, and has often been seen to help enhance the effects of the modalities.

How can PEMF help with employee well-being?
- Stress Reduction: Therapeutic PEMFs have been shown to improve a person’s mental well-being and concentration, in turn, will help promote a calmer, more focused workplace
- Improved Sleep: Better sleep is crucial for overall well-being, and PEMFs can help aid in achieving more restful nights.
- Enhanced Mood: PEMF therapy has been shown to improve mood, creating a more happy environment for employees to work in.
So now you know a few ways PEMF can help your employees, but how do you implement PEMF into your workspace?
- Designate a relaxation space: Create a designated area where employees can access a PEMF device during their breaks. Make sure it's a quiet, and comfortable place for relaxation.
- Training and Education: Provide training sessions on how to use PEMF devices safely and effectively. Educate your employees on the benefits of PEMF therapy for their well-being.
- Flexible Scheduling: Allow your employees to schedule PEMF sessions during work hours or make breaks to make it convenient for them.
- Offering Choices: If possible, consider offering a variety of PEMF devices to cater to employee preferences, such as full-body mats, or localised devices.
Integrating PEMF into your workplace wellness program can become a game-changer for employee well-being. You'll not only have a healthier and happier workforce but potentially see gains in productivity and job satisfaction. Prioritising well-being is an investment that pays off in the long run, benefiting both your employees and the organisation as a whole.

This is why the team took to this years Biohacker Summit x London, to discuss the powers of PEMF with biohackers from all over the globe.
PEMF therapy involves the application of electromagnetic fields to the body, typically in the form of pulsed waves. These fields mimic the Earth's natural magnetic frequencies, which our bodies have evolved with over millions of years. The key concept is resonance: when our cells are exposed to the right frequencies, they respond in ways that promote healing and vitality.
Biohacking with PEMF:
Enhanced Recovery and Performance: Athletes have long used PEMF therapy to accelerate recovery after intense workouts and enhance their overall performance. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting cellular repair, PEMF can help biohackers push their physical limits.
Optimized Sleep: Quality sleep is a cornerstone of biohacking, and PEMF can play a significant role here. Regular PEMF sessions have been reported to improve sleep patterns, making it an invaluable tool for those seeking to optimize their rest and recovery.
Stress Reduction: Biohackers understand the importance of managing stress for overall well-being. PEMF therapy can help by calming the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels, and promoting relaxation.
Cognitive Enhancement: The brain is a prime target for biohacking, and PEMF isn't limited to the body. Transcranial PEMF, for example, has shown promise in enhancing cognitive functions, memory, and mood.
PEMF therapy is rapidly gaining recognition as a powerful biohacking tool that can unlock new levels of health and performance. By harnessing the natural forces of electromagnetic fields, biohackers are finding innovative ways to optimize their bodies and minds. Whether you're an athlete seeking peak performance, a sleep enthusiast, or simply someone looking to improve your overall well-being, PEMF therapy is a promising addition to your biohacking routine.
]]>PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It's a non-invasive technique that uses electromagnetic fields to improve health at the cellular level. When exposed to healthy electromagnetic frequencies, cells can repair and regenerate more effectively. Benefits of PEMF can include pain relief, improved sleep, enhanced recovery and stress reduction.
Grounding, also known as Earthing, involves connecting directly with the Earth's natural surface charge by walking barefoot on soil, grass, sand, or even swimming in natural bodies of water. Benefits of grounding can include reduced inflammation, improved sleep, stress reduction, and increased energy.
While both PEMF therapy and grounding offer remarkable health benefits on their own, combining the two can enhance their effects. PEMF therapy can help optimize cellular functioning, making cells more receptive to the healing energies absorbed during grounding sessions.
In conclusion, PEMF therapy and grounding are two complementary practices that can help you reconnect with the Earth's natural energies and promote holistic health. Whether you're seeking pain relief, better sleep, reduced stress, or enhanced vitality, these practices offer valuable tools to support your well-being in our modern, tech-filled world.
]]>As PEMFs work on a basic level, their effects can be enhanced with the use of other modalities. We wanted to discuss some of the other therapies that can be used alongside PEMF.
Firstly, massage therapy. PEMF and massage can significantly complement each other. PEMF therapy has been shown to help relax muscles, being able to use PEMF prior to a massage will allow the therapist to get deeper into the tissues much easier. Using both massage therapy and PEMF can help not only prevent problems from worsening but from them developing in the first place.
Acupuncture is another therapy that is recommended for use alongside PEMF. As pulsed electromagnetic fields act directly on tissues and cells in the area, which will be a much larger area in which the acupuncture will be applied. However, people often feel immediate relief when having acupuncture treatment, but keep in mind this will only be a quick fix. This is why both therapies will work well in conjunction with each other.
Another therapy that can be used simultaneously with PEMF, is laser therapy. Due to their beam being narrow and focused, and their high intensities & frequencies, they are able to penetrate the body deeper, however using PEMF before, after or during a laser therapy session, you can target a wider area, with lower frequencies.

As Managing Director of a company who specialise in PEMF devices from a range of manufacturers and many years’ experience in the field, I have decided to write my own, independent review of PEMF therapy devices from listening to our customer’s feedback and experiences. Hopefully, this will help others when making decisions on investing in their own device.
When we strip back to the fundamentals of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Devices. What is important? What makes a good device? The range of FREQUENCIES offered the INTENSITY settings and the placement of the coils that generate the pulsed magnetic fields. Do we need any additional smart features? Do we need any additional gadgets? 9 times out of 10… no! You just need a tried and tested system, something which is offering you the right range of frequencies and intensity for your specific needs.
It is also narrow-minded to state that there is one device that fits all. We can get close to saying this with some of the top-rated devices, but everyone is different and everyone reacts differently to the therapy. The therapy is not condition-specific and this is why we encourage our customers to contact us in the first instance so we can do our best to point them in the right direction. This also depends on the time someone has to dedicate to sitting on one of the devices for any given time period each day.
So, let’s get to it…
No.1: Curatron XPSE (also referred to as Parmeds Pro Special in some countries)
The Curatron XPSE model is one of our most popular systems and in our opinion the ‘Gold Standard’ when it comes to PEMF therapy for the home setting. Curatronic have been in the market for many years and there is a reason for this. Their device is extremely well made and although it may appear slightly dated, there is no reason to update its look. These devices very rarely come back to us for any technical issues and the customer return rate for the satisfaction of results is nearly negligible.
Curatron devices set themselves aside from the rest as they offer some of the highest intensity in their full-body mats that you are likely to find on the homecare market and we see such quick results because of this. There are many arguments online about low vs high-intensity devices (mostly written by low-intensity manufacturers), but how can we argue when the results are right in front of us and the customer feedback of these devices are always outstanding. As well as the impressive intensities these devices offer, you have the ability to reduce the power using certain programs, which allows it to offer high and medium intensity in one.
The mat itself is comfortable to lay on, which again is important when you will be spending a lot of time on these. They can be placed on a bed, a large sofa, or therapy bed in a spare room, so you can enjoy some alone time. The coils inside are also quite unique to other systems. They are large coils using a lot of copper wire and a lot thicker than most systems as this is mainly to create those high intensities. Another result of these thicker coils is that we never see any issues with them breaking, which is a more common problem with lower intensity devices. Once a copper wire inside breaks the circuit is no longer complete and the device will need to be repaired, but this is not really an issue with the Curatron units.
The device only has 10 pre-set programs, which I see as a huge benefit. You really do not need a million different programs when it comes to PEMF devices. It’s better to make the use of the system simple and so you will use it more often. The programs themselves rarely stay on one frequency, so they still offer the body a range of frequencies to avoid becoming accustomed to one frequency. If you require the ability to design your own program, you can with their PC compatible version of the XPSE or their more expensive and even higher intensity version called the 3D.
Overall the Curatron XPSE is a very well rounded device. If you have the budget, then this is the one you should go to get the best and quickest results. As with all PEMF devices, we still encourage a healthy lifestyle and diet including vitamins to get the most out of them, plus staying hydrated. The XPSE definitely gets the results and with the intensities, it offers its great for long term chronic conditions as well as those conditions that require deeper penetration, such as bone and cartilage issues.
The Hugo Intense (and Pro) devices offer one of the highest intensities possible in a full body option. The full body applicator on the Hugo’s range from 6000-8000 Gauss, which packs a punch and for a full body option, I wouldn’t suggest going any higher than this, simply because there is no need. Most full body PEMF devices, you cannot feel the therapy but with these devices you can feel each pulse. Depending how confident you are, you can turn these up to create quite the sensation in your muscles as it stimulates the cells in the body.
The Hugo Intense variant is designed for home use and the Pro version is designed to be used multiple times per day in a professional setting. As a home user, you wouldn’t need to use the Intense more than once or twice per day on a 12minute setting. So, if you don’t have time in the day and you want to reach very high intensities then this is a good device for you.
Here’s the down side... These devices use ‘spark gap’ technology. Most modern PEMF devices now use ‘solid state’ technology, which effectively means that if you look after your device, it will never breakdown. Spark gap means that over time the device will wear out and at one point it may stop working completely. This would then require a chamber replacement. NewMed offer a complete chamber replacement including parts and return shipping for just under £1000, but some suppliers may vary. To reach these intensities a lot of manufacturers will opt for spark gap technology, but you just need to factor in that with regular use you are likely to be changing the chamber every 2-3 years. Also, this device does not have the ability to set a specific frequency. There is only a dial to change the intensity from low to high as they base their results on using very high intensity rather than a specific frequency. Despite these two downsides, I still hold these devices very high up my list of favourites and it’s quickly becoming my device of choice in the office due to its intensities and little time needed to take out of my day each time I use it. The full body option and intensities of this device make it very popular with a lot of customers.
Thanks for their ‘CE certification’ we are able to now offer this device in the UK and EU, which a lot of PEMF devices in these intensity ranges do not have, making them illegal to sell here. It’s always worth asking a manufacturer if they have these certifications as all of our supplied devices have. If they cannot provide it, you will almost certainly have issues importing them and also have issues getting insurance if you intent to use them on others.
No.3: CELLER8 Full Body Package
The CELLER8 is a very new PEMF device to 2023 and actually a device I designed and created myself, yes that’s right! I have been involved with PEMF devices now for over 10 years and used so many variants personally. I have done my best to create a device that ticks the most boxes when it comes to technical ability, portability, intensity, affordability and all in a sexy design. With the help of my family medical business (Bedfont Scientific Ltd), we have designed and manufactured something very special. The only reason this is not my number one on this list is because the other two devices above offer higher intensities and have been on the market longer, but they come with the obvious price difference, making the CELLER8 the perfect device for 95% of the home users that want one device that suits most needs and fits into their busy lives the most. It also helps to show that this review is un-biased as it can be.
My biggest issue with PEMF devices is that people would invest a lot of money in them but for one reason or another they wouldn’t use them and therefore they won’t get the results they deserve. Issues of time constraints or usability would prevent a user from getting the necessary sessions they need to feel a difference quickly. Therefore, I wanted CELLER8 to fit into their lives rather than having to dedicate a lot of time to it. The CELLER8 is a localised controller and applicator that you can use all the time or for short sessions. But you can strap it on and go, and that’s very important when you have a targeted issue. But a huge benefit with the full body package is that you can simply plug in the full body mat to the CELLER8 and use it anywhere too. The battery in the CELLER8 is super powerful and medically approved, therefore it will power both the localised controller (100 gauss) and the mat (50 gauss) without the need to locate yourself next to a plug socket. I want people to have the freedom to introduce PEMFs on their morning commute, during a meditation session or even whilst doing yoga. For us less supple, its just a super convenient device to sit on for full body PEMFs when using for so many different applications or just a targeted device on the move.
If you are new to PEMFs too, this is a great device. It only has 4 preset programs and 1 additional custom program to make it as easy to use as possible. The 4 preset harness a number of different frequencies that are better through different times in the day. This includes ‘Morning’, ‘Evening’, ‘Meditation’ and ‘Night’ modes. So, whether you are trying to apply PEMFs for general health and wellbeing, to encourage deep sleep or for something more chronic, these programs have it all covered by cycling frequencies that are all beneficial. If you are old school and want to set a specific frequency and stick to it, then use the ‘Custom’ mode to enable you to do this.
Everything is adjustable on the CELLER8 including the intensity, frequency, time, sound and polarity, but to keep it simple, just stick to the preset and preloaded programs and it couldn’t be easier. The ‘Night’ mode even gives you the ability to set it to up to 12 hours to be your portable sleep buddy.
After 6 long years in development, I am glad this EPMF device is now available and I can proudly say this is one of the easiest and most portable full body mats on the market with a low to high intensity range and affordable price. Later in the year the travel mat and pet mat will be released for the CELLER8 too, which is an optional extra to the standard package. So, keep an eye out for these too.
No.4: BioMag Lumina Home Package
The BioMag Lumina 3D-E is a medium to high-intensity device and is also a top favourite of ours and our customers, for so many reasons. This device is proud to hold many medical registrations in Europe. It comes with 6 pre-set and easy-to-use programs, including the ability to make your own unique program (if purchasing the clinic upgrade). As I said before it’s best to keep it simple. But if you have a number of friends/ family that want to use it or even thinking of setting up your own clinic, then you can upgrade the device by just inputting a code and then you will have easy access to more features such as intensity controls to really alter the programs that are right for you. The individual allows you to set your own frequency, intensity and time (as mentioned, clinic upgrade needed), if there is a certain program you want to design yourself. People often want to be able to do this when they have seen a successful study for their condition and they want to replicate it, but we often say that other programs are likely to work too, so this feature is not a necessity… but certainly nice to have. Usually, pre-set programs call upon the use of more than one frequency per program which we believe is much better than just setting the device to only use one frequency for the duration. It is possible for the body to become accustomed to one frequency and therefore it becomes less effective over time. Chop and changing between the 6 already pre-set programs gives the body all the tools needed to repair.
There are options to take this device with a “Full Body” mat or a “¾ length” mat. I actually prefer the 3/4 length mat as it has its own advantages, as it can easily be used on a chair as well as a sofa and bed. This mat also makes it more portable and smaller to carry around. It also makes it possible to use it wrapped around a certain limb to intensify the treatment in that area. They call it the 3D effect.
For its portability, ease of use, the price point in the market, and results, it gets a huge thumbs up from myself and the team at NewMed.
The BioBalance is a great full-body device set at a medium to low intensity. So we generally recommend this device for general health and wellbeing but its stand out feature is its sleep options. The BioBalance gives you the option to set it for longer periods of time than most devices, giving you the ability to sleep on the device. This not only assists that your sleep is restful and deep but also so that you can manage your time well during the day and get your PEMF session while you are dreaming away.
The device only comes with 6 pre-set programs, which as I said before is not something to be seen as a negative. This makes it simple to use the device and a quick plug and play unit. No messing around but just straight into a PEMF session.
If you have little time on your hands in the day, then this is a good unit that can be used during sleep and delivers a PEMF session for a number of reasons (not just for sleep disorders) but maintaining a healthy body for repair. With its internal battery too, this is also a nice potable device, but maybe lacks the intensity for the price.
Why can’t you find a PEMF device on our list of top 5, which you expected to see there?
This could be for a number of reasons but most of these are quite simple. We don’t endorse ‘multi-level selling techniques’, which unfortunately some on the PEMF manufacturers adopt. The common result of multi-level selling is that the price of the device is commonly very high for its technical abilities. That’s not to say that the device is not good, but it could mean that you are paying more for your buck. These are very often the same manufacturers that use key selling features as a ‘must-have’.
It could also be because the devices are not available in Europe and don’t have the certifications needed to sell in the UK and Europe. Therefore we don’t have experience with them and we cannot comment.
Lastly, it could just be because the device simply didn’t make our top 5, recommended by our customers.
The devices mentioned in this review and their comments are the opinions of our own and our customers, they are not to replace any medical advice obtained by a doctor and we do not claim to be medical professionals.

]]>Teamed with Bedfont Scientific Ltd, manufacturer of the latest PEMF device on the market, they celebrated CELLER8 in true PEMF style, with some of the core elements that help to make the most of our PEMF sessions…
Starting off with the nutrition station, which included a number of delicious and healthy snacks for everyone to enjoy. Good nutrition is key to contributing to a healthy lifestyle, poor eating habits will diminish your body’s ability to maintain optimum health while reducing the degree of benefit that your PEMF session will have.
What is nutrition without hydration? Our hydration station included a number of different fruit smoothies alongside flavoured water to keep guests hydrated. We should all be aware that staying hydrated is important, and it’s especially crucial when using PEMF as energy transfers more easily when the body is well hydrated.
Outside in the sun was the exercise station! Where a number of activities were found to get everyone’s bodies moving. General physical exercise is important, with the NHS recommending that adults aged 19 – 64 should aim to do at least 150 minutes of exercise each week.
The relaxation station couldn’t be missed, with two opportunities to rest the mind, with the full-body CELLER8 station set up so people can relax and treat themselves to a PEMF session. As well as the colouring station, where people could take their minds somewhere else and colour in a special PEMF mural wall.
Being able to share the efforts that have gone into the brand-new PEMF device over the years, and to be able to spread the word about the benefits that PEMF therapy has was a great opportunity.
]]>PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy is the use of electromagnetic fields to help with a variety of different applications. By introducing complimentary electromagnetic fields into the body, you can re-establish healthy electromagnetic exchanges.
CELLER8® was designed with powerful and innovative PEMF technology, and offers both low to high intensity ranges allowing users to make the most of their PEMF sessions. Users can optimise their cell health using easy-to-use, pre-set settings, as well as having the option to create their own custom PEMF program where they can alter intensity, frequency, and length of program.
The CELLER8® devices are manufactured in the UK, by Med-tech manufacturer, Bedfont® Scientific Ltd, who have over 40 years of manufacturing experience.
Andy Smith, Managing Director at NewMed, commented, “After 6 years of development, we are excited for everyone to finally experience CELLER8® and the benefits of PEMF therapy. The device is perfect for individuals who are looking for non-invasive and natural ways to help boost their overall health and well-being.”

]]>What is biohacking? Biohacking is a term which describes 'do-it-yourself' biology and involves alternative techniques that can help contribute to improving your overall health and well-being. Biohackers often try new biohacking techniques to explore new and unusual ideas, gain control over their health, extend their lives, and many other reasons.
Some may think that it sounds like a confusing term, but biohacks can be as simple as sleeping, moving your body and being active, eating healthy, and spending time out in nature!
Our favourite biohacking tool here at NewMed is obviously PEMF!
PEMF therapy can help with a wide range of applications, as well as contribute to important factors such as sleep, recovery and mental health, all of which are needed for us to be feeling a better version of ourselves, the overall goal for biohackers.
People believe that PEMF therapy is difficult to implement into everyday life, but it can be the total opposite! Localised PEMF therapy devices can be used while on the go going about your usual day. And we recommend sessions as little as 30 minutes a day on full-body PEMF therapy mats, so it's not as time-consuming as people think!
]]>But firstly, what is meditation?
It is a set of techniques that are used to help reduce stressful or distracting thoughts and feelings, and to help clear the mind. Many people implement meditation into their lives to help improve their focus and to reduce stress.
If you're starting to think about implementing meditation, or are new to doing so, you'll want to make sure that you find a quiet place where you are able to relax and get comfortable enough to sit still for a period of time. You will also want to find a position that you are happy to sit still in, and this doesn't have to be a position that is traditionally associated with meditating!
Then as we mentioned, make sure you have your PEMF device to hand! One of the most popular applications of PEMF is for deep relaxation, and some devices have programs that can help to induce an alpha state. An alpha state is where the mind is awakened, yet relaxed at the same time, and also ready to focus and learn. PEMFs that are between 14 - 30 Hz can also help to heighten the brain's beta waves, these can help to aid the brain's ability to process information more efficiently.
You could use your full-body PEMF therapy mat as a yoga mat, or simply meditate with your localised PEMF device attached to a part of the body.
]]>We know that when researching about PEMFs, there can be a lot of different information that can become confusing, we are hoping that the PEMF podcast will help to take away some of that confusion. You can expect to listen to the science behind PEMFs, hear NewMed's honest reviews on a variety of different PEMF therapy devices, as well as the opinions and reviews from other PEMF professionals and those using PEMF therapy at home.

]]>All athletes know the risk of injury that comes when playing sports, and will more than likely sustain an injury at some point or another in their career. Which is what happened to Jessica Clarke.
After struggling with pain in her right knee, Jessica was looking for ways to help her on her road to recovery. “I started with the Oska Pulse, initially this made a huge difference day to day, more so when I was training consecutively. It reduced pain and swelling. This was very fitting with my lifestyle also, as I was working a full-time job plus playing part-time football, my weekends were taking up traveling to games and playing, therefore, my recovery was very much compromised, but the Oska provided a lightweight and portable way of combating my busy lifestyle. I did some further research into the benefits of increased strength in gauss and frequencies with the help of the NewMed team. And opted to purchase the Biomag device, which I now use at home for my knee and also further health benefits”.
PEMF therapy is a non-invasive, alternative therapy that helps the body to heal faster and reduce pain by changing the local tissue environment from which the pain starts, it has many applications but it is most widely used for pain management.
After using both a localised and full-body PEMF therapy mat from NewMed, Jessica remarked that PEMF “has been instrumental in my return to the pitch” and she had noticed a significant difference in regards to her pain. “I can straight away feel the device getting to work on the damaged areas of my knee, I feel instant relief once I use the device. To sum up I will be forever grateful. I feel the devices have helped me to avoid further operations to my knee and ultimately helped me lead a pain-free active lifestyle once again.”
Jessica also commented “I cannot thank you enough you really have changed my life”.
If you are interested in PEMF therapy, NewMed has years of experience in PEMFs and can advice you on the right PEMF device for your body. They were recently awarded ‘Best PEMF therapy mats and devices company’.

Firstly, what are seasonal blues? When the seasonals change to the autumn and winter months, and the daylights become more scarce, many often find themselves experiencing symptoms of fatigue, low energy, and irritability. Reduced sunlight exposure can play a significant role in triggering these symptoms.
PEMF is a ground breaking approach to address mood-related issues, including seasonal blues. Here's how PEMF could help you...
Enhancing sleep patterns: Seasonal blues can often disrupt sleep, PEMF therapy can help promote a good nights sleep. With many PEMF devices having specific programs which utilise the frequencies that help our brains rest.
Increasing circulation: PEMFs can help to improve blood circulation, ensuring that your brain is receiving all the nutrients and oxygen it needs to function properly.
Reducing inflammation: Inflammation is linked to mood disorders, PEMFs can help to reduce inflammation in the body. This in turn will help to proved relief from these symptoms.
