How to Reduce EMF in the Home

How Can You Reduce Your Home EMF Exposure?

Regardless of whether you notice it, your body is constantly exposed to radiation from numerous sources throughout the day. This exposure poses potential health risks, beginning at the cellular level. However, there are steps you can take to address it.

While it's not possible to eliminate all EMF exposure, these steps can help reduce exposure and significantly reduce it, creating a healthier living environment.

Reduce Home EMF Sources

  • Unplug devices and appliances when not in use. Minimize unnecessary exposure to electromagnetic fields, conserves energy, and potentially extend the lifespan of your devices.

  • Use wired internet connections instead of Wi-Fi. Reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and improve connection stability. Wired connections will not only emit lower levels of EMF but typically offer faster, more reliable internet speeds.

  • Reduce EMF from lighting. Use low-EMF LED or incandescent bulbs. Avoid dimmer switches, maintain a safe distance, and opt for natural lighting when possible.

  • Avoid using electric blankets. Instead, consider alternative heating methods such as using extra blankets or hot water bottles to keep warm. Try a heated mattress pad to warm the bed, but unplug it before sleeping.

  • Block EMF emissions. Consider using EMF-shielding paint, fabrics, or window films to block EMF emissions from external sources like cell towers.

Limit Use of Wireless Devices

  • Mobile Phones. Use speakerphone or wired headsets to keep the phone away from your head. Text instead of call when possible, and avoid carrying your phone close to your body.

  • Wi-Fi Routers. Place routers in less frequently occupied areas and turn them off when not in use, especially at night.

  • Bluetooth Devices. Use wired alternatives for headphones and other peripherals.

Create Distance

  • Electronics. Sit a safe distance from devices that emit EMFs. For example, don't sit too close to your TV, computer, or microwave oven while they are in use.

  • Appliances. Use electrical appliances in an area away from living spaces.

  • Home Office & Desk. Place computers, monitors, and other electronic devices at a comfortable distance from your body. Use external keyboards and mice to further increase distance from screens.

  • Power Lines. Arrange living spaces away from high-voltage power lines.

Practice Earthing

Incorporate simple grounding techniques into your daily routine to align your body's electrical state with the Earth's natural charge. This practice can offer various physical and emotional benefits.

  • Walk barefoot. Directly connect with the Earth's electrical charge on grass, soil, sand, or any natural surface. This practice can help balance your body's electrical state, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.

  • Sit or Lay on the Ground. Connecting with the Earth's natural charge will promote a sense of calm and well-being. Reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and enhance mood.

  • Swim in natural bodies of water. Enjoy lakes, rivers, or the ocean. Water, especially saltwater, conducts electricity well, allowing you to absorb the Earth's electrical charge.

  • Get your hands in the dirt. Gardening and having direct contact with soil can help ground your body by connecting you with the Earth's electricity. Handling soil and plants provides grounding benefits and can reduce stress and enhance mood.

  • Practice mindfulness. Being in nature while engaging in mindfulness can help balance your body's electrical charge and promote mental clarity and emotional balance.

TIP: "Do not stand near a microwave oven when it is on. Unplug or remove it and consider using a toaster oven instead."

My Top 5 EMF Awareness Tips

1

Reduce EMF Sources. Minimize what you are in control of. Turn off and Unplug all electronics when they are not in use.

2

Connect with the Earth. Grounding balances your body’s electromagnetic field and reduces stress, enhancing relaxation and sleep quality.

3

Connect with the Sun. First thing in the morning even if overcast. Sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm and melatonin production, crucial for sleep.

4

Ground your technology. Use grounding pads for your router and your body is making contact with including computers.

5

Turn off the Wifi. Use a physical ethernet cable to connect your computer to the internet if possible.
