For a long time, it was believed that lower energy forms of EMF like those found in cell phones, cordless and microwave ovens weren’t harmful. But now, a growing body of research shows that these EMFs increase free radical damage and can lead to oxidative stress, cellular and DNA mutation.
1. Clean Your Space
EMFs are invisible, odorless and tasteless, but they can affect our health. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation, sometimes called dirty electricity, that can penetrate into cells and disrupt their natural functioning. Exposure to high levels of EMF can cause a number of problems including cellular stress, infertility and even cancer. Fortunately, there are simple ways to minimize exposure to EMFs.
Start with a complete EMF Radiation Detox of your home. The goal of this detox is to create a space that supports your wellness goals for your body, mind and soul. You can achieve this by eliminating or reducing as many sources of EMFs in your home as possible. The process may feel a bit overwhelming at first but with some planning and a little help from your support team, it can be done in a few weeks.
Ensure that your home is free of EMF radiation by placing floor mats at the entrances of all rooms and putting vertical plants, such as the Garden Mum, Spider Plant and Peace Lily, in every room to efficiently remove toxins from the air. Use a digital EMF meter to check for readings in the walls and ceilings of your home. This will help you to determine the most and least EMF-free areas of your home and can also be helpful if you have children who may be sensitive to EMFs.
Another important factor in an EMF Radiation Detox is to reduce your contact with electric and electronic devices, particularly cell phones, cordless phone, laptops and Wi-Fi routers. It is also important to maintain a healthy distance between you and your device (even when it is off), and only allow people you trust to use your devices. Try to use speaker mode for calls and limit the number of wireless connections you have at any given time.
You can also use a specialized EMF-blocking blanket for sleep, Emf clothing for daily use, or purchase an EMF mitigation device to neutralize negative energies. Finally, if you live in an apartment or a rental property, consider using a special EMF-blocking paint that can be covered with regular wall paint to reduce your exposure to outside EMFs and prevent dirty electricity from entering your home.
2. Remove Toxins
Everyday electrical devices emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which are invisible radiation. EMF radiation consists of both electric and magnetic components and can penetrate the body, disrupting it on the atomic level and causing cells to vibrate. Some EMFs are considered ionizing, meaning they can take electrons from the DNA of cells. This can cause genetic mutations, cell damage and cancer. Other EMFs are not ionizing, but still disturb cells by moving them or making them vibrate.
All electrical devices create EMFs, including lamps, refrigerators, microwave ovens and Wi-Fi routers. But cell phones, laptops and wireless Internet connections produce the most EMFs because they emit radio waves. Long-term exposure to these devices may cause health problems, such as a foggy brain, fatigue and a poor ability to cope with stress.
Some people are more sensitive to EMFs than others, and they experience symptoms such as headaches and achy joints. These people are said to suffer from a condition called electromagnetic hypersensitivity, or EHS. However, the medical community doesn’t substantiate these symptoms and they aren’t currently considered a medical diagnosis.
A few simple steps can help you minimize your exposure to EMFs and other environmental toxins. To start, remove as many electronic devices from your home as possible, especially in your bedroom. You can also use a water filter to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals in tap water. Finally, avoid using synthetic air fresheners and candles, as they can release a host of toxins into the atmosphere.
You can also eat foods that help to balance your cellular environment and support detoxification. Some examples include dark greens and blueberries, which are rich in antioxidants that protect against EMFs and other toxins; and kombucha, a fizzy fermented drink made from green and black tea that naturally contains a species of the gut-friendly bacteria lactobacillus. Finally, a multivitamin can boost immune function and reduce the risk of oxidative stress and cell damage by providing key nutrients like selenium, omega-3s, resveratrol and vitamin C.

3. Breathe Fresh Air
The simplest way to purify your home is simply to let the fresh air inside. Open your windows and doors and allow the room to circulate with clean, fresh air each morning. This can also help with your personal health as breathing in stale, stagnant air contributes to a host of problems including allergies, asthma and hay fever.
If possible, limit your exposure to EMF radiation by staying away from sources of it. For example, make your bedroom an EMF-free zone by putting your cell phone in another room or turning it off altogether when you sleep. Try to use corded headphones when speaking on the phone instead of wireless ones, as well. You can also reduce your EMF exposure by using wired internet connections and keeping a computer in a separate room. Avoid baby monitors, smart meters and microwave ovens as much as you can.
EMFs can affect the human body in many ways, depending on how the individual responds to it. For instance, a person who is sensitive to EMFs may experience fatigue, poor sleep and an inability to handle stress. EMF sensitivity can also lead to an altered brain function, mitochondrial issues and oxidative damage.
In terms of cancer, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B — a possible human carcinogen. The IARC is part of the World Health Organization. Static electric and magnetic fields and extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields were classified as not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans.
Although some studies point to various symptoms that may come from EMF exposure, the medical field generally considers more research to be needed. Some people who are very sensitive to EMFs develop a condition called electromagnetic hypersensitivity, or electro hypersensitivity. Symptoms associated with this include headache, fatigue and depression. Some people also report difficulty concentrating and a feeling of being unable to think clearly. Those who are highly sensitive to EMFs can also suffer from an inability to communicate with others and have a tendency to become withdrawn and isolated.
4. Clean Your Body
EMF radiation is an invisible form of energy that’s produced by electronic devices such as cell phones, laptops and Wi-Fi routers. This energy can penetrate the body and cause cellular imbalances and DNA damage, as well as affect brain function.
Research has linked EMF exposure to a number of health issues, from headaches and skin rashes to fertility problems and cancerous tumors. Even low-level EMF radiation can disrupt the balance of the body’s natural energy, which can lead to stress, fatigue, and sleep disruptions.
One way to detox from EMFs is to limit the amount of time you spend using electronic devices. Try to make phone calls or use your computer and tablet only when necessary. If you must use them, position the device at least six inches away from your head and avoid putting it in your pocket or on your body. You can also reduce your exposure by using an EMF shield or a grounding sheet, mat or band.
Another way to detox from EMFs is to eat a healthy diet that contains lots of antioxidants. Antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals that are associated with EMF radiation and can help prevent cell damage. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and beans can help you achieve this goal.
If you are concerned about heavy metal toxicity, it’s a good idea to work with a naturopathic doctor or nutritionist. They can help you create a detoxification program that will support your liver, kidneys and digestive system.
While there isn’t much concrete evidence that EMFs cause cancer, some studies have shown a link between EMF radiation and increased risk of certain types of leukemia, including glioma, a type of brain tumor. Additionally, some research suggests that there is a link between EMFs and changes in melatonin production, which is an important hormone for healthy sleep.
