PEMF THERAPY
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a naturopathic treatment that can achieve a therapeutic effect through the use of a low-frequency pulsating magnetic field. This therapy is often used to supplement traditional medicine and can bring improvement not only to the horse's physical health but to its mental health as well. Many riders use magnetic therapy to promote regeneration, support the natural healing process, and improve their horses' well-being.
Although the medicinal effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy have yet to be fully researched, it has long been used in naturopathy with success.
Magnetic field therapy increases general transport capacity of cell membranes. resulting in improved cell energetics and thus clear improvement in the transport of oxygen to tissue.
This leads to activation of the cell metabolism which, according to the international literature, can bring analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antineuralgic, vasodilatory and sedative effects.

How does pulsed magnetic field therapy work?
Cells are the origin of life. They are the basic building blocks of all life, consisting of billions of molecules. In the cells, growth and function are controlled through electromagnetic oscillations.
We are exposed to the earth's geomagnetic fields every day. Through technically generated magnetic fields, i.e., fields that are generated by machines or systems, we can positively influence cell activity in our organisms or those of our horses.
This is precisely where magnetic field therapy comes into play. The magnetic field and its charge-changing effect causes cell activity to repolarise and normalises charge capacity. The cells are no longer exposed to stimuli or excitation and return to a "resting state". This resting state is part of these highly complex chemical and physical processes; see
Therapeutic approaches in naturopathy purport that diseased cells have a lower magnetic potency than healthy cells. The use of magnetic field therapy provides the cells with a boost of energy and revitalises them, which, according to naturopathy, can lead to relief of ailments or the attainment of general well-being.
"Since the processes of life and metabolism are controlled by electromagnetic impulses, the selective application of electromagnetic energy is of fundamental importance for the diseased organism". (Dr F. Popp et al).
Disturbances in the natural interaction of electromagnetic oscillations in the cell can lead to diseases. These are often triggered by a deficiency of magnetic energy.
A precondition for the healing of a diseased organism is a well-functioning metabolism. The strengthening of the immune system and associated activation of the body's own natural healing powers play an important role in helping the body to overcome disease on its own.
