In our modern world, we’re constantly being surrounded by EMFs – which are electromagnetic frequencies. These frequencies come from devices like mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers and microwaves. Although these technologies have transformed our lives, there is growing evidence suggesting that prolonged exposure to EMFs could cause serious physical and mental health risks. But many of us wouldn’t want to go without our beloved tech, so we need to try to counter the damage that’s being caused.
What are EMFs?
EMFs are invisible energy waves radiating from electronic devices and power lines. While some EMFs are natural, like those from the sun, many are man-made. The advancement and popularity of wireless technology means we're exposed to EMFs at far higher levels than ever before.
Are EMF frequencies dangerous?
Research has linked EMF exposure to several health issues, including cancer, reproduction issues, sleep disturbances, neurological disorders, anxiety and depression.
Microwaves
Microwaves are extremely convenient and, therefore, extremely popular. But they are also one of the worst culprits at emitting high levels of EMFs. I made the decision a few months ago, after our microwave seemed to break overnight, to discard of the microwave and not replace it. You might be wondering how a modern family copes without a microwave, but we’ve got used to it! Food gets cooked on the hob now and doesn’t really take much longer to cook. We’ve lost the convenience of microwave defrosting, but have gained the benefit of meal planning as we take items out of the freezer the night before we want them. We’ve just had to change our habits and it actually hasn’t been that difficult.
Protection against EMFs
There are a few other things I’ve done to reduce the impact of EMFs in the house. I bought a wired keyboard and mouse for my computer, rather than wireless, and I bought several Shungite crystals to place around the house. Shungite is believed to help mitigate the harmful effects of EMFs as it’s primarily made of carbon, including fullerenes, which can absorb and neutralise electromagnetic radiation. Placing Shungite crystals near your electronic devices or wearing it as jewellery can help reduce EMF exposure and its associated health risks.
I bought some large pieces of Shungite and put them in front of the TV, next to the WiFi router, by my laptop and I have a Shungite sticker on the back of my mobile phone. I also wear Shungite every day on a necklace. Shungite – like any crystal – should be cleansed regularly and this can be done using various methods, including briefly running it under the tap, using incense or Sage (for smoke cleansing) or using a singing bowl to cleanse it with sound.
Summary
Whilst the full impact of EMFs on health is still being studied, it’s sensible to minimise your exposure to it and put in place methods to reduce its impact. Try to tune into your body and notice how you feel when you reduce your EMF exposure or you begin using Shungite.
Other simple strategies like using wired connections instead of wireless, keeping your mobile phone switched off at night (or at least keeping it further away from your body whilst you sleep), and incorporating Shungite crystals into your home can help to protect your health.
