Exposing an entire human organism (ideally, all 75 trillion body cells) to an electromagnetic field through a whole-body mat application guarantees the best holistic effect. For this reason, a whole-body mat offering pairs of conducting coils, capable of gradually increasing the magnetic field intensity from head towards feet, is the best choice. This means that the device needs to have 3 pairs of coils mimicking the flow of the earth’s magnetic field, ideally covering head/neck, hips/torso, legs/feet and each side of the body. To be even more detailed, the coils covering the upper body need to expose a lower intensity (achieved by fewer windings in the coils), while the coils toward the feet should have greater intensity (more windings in the coils). This is of utmost importance because in comparison to our head and neck, our most sensitive body parts towards electromagnetic fields, our legs and feet can tolerate much higher intensity levels. Lower intensity levels in the upper portion of a whole-body applicator are crucial for people who are chemically or magnetic field sensitive. In addition, higher intensity levels could overstimulate or irritate the thyroid. BE AWARE: Manufacturers with mesh wire mats claim to offer a more uniform field (and they do) but at the expense of exposing both feet and head to the same intensity. This in turn may lead to unpleasant reactions, especially with people, who are hypersensitive to electromagnetic exposure!
