How PEMF Therapy Reduces Symptoms of SAD Year Round

Have you been struggling with symptoms of SAD?

SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder plagues many during the holiday season.

You may be feeling the “winter blues”, recalling the loss of a loved one, or perhaps you live in an area where daylight is short.

The symptoms associated with SAD may be present throughout the year, and not just during the holidays.

While this is considered chronic or clinical depression, it is important that you research your options.

PEMF therapy has proven to be helpful for those who suffer from SAD as well as clinical depression.

This article is going to share a more in-depth look at how PEMF therapy, when used consistently, can help you overcome SAD year around.

The Nagging Symptoms of SAD

SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, can be complex.

Many refer to the symptoms as depression. While this may be true, there is a distinct marker of SAD.

This disorder, referred to as a seasonal disorder, is generally associated with the winter season and the holidays.

There are various aspects of SAD, including the following:

1. Winter blues. This means shorter periods of daylight. People who live in certain parts of Alaska are subjected to periods of continuous darkness for about two months. Light therapy, acquired through the use of SAD lamps is an important part of life for those who live in these parts of the country. The SAD lamps are intended to duplicate the sunlight, and to give individuals the ability to use these lamps for additional time even when sunlight is available, but the periods of daylight are shorter. These lamps can be helpful, but there are still some individuals that use them that don’t find adequate relief. PEMF therapy can help in two ways regarding the winter season, and we’ll get to that shortly. 
2. Reflecting on memories of loved ones lost. Every family faces death at some point, but it can be difficult to go through the holidays without loved ones. This may be true especially in the first year when the holidays roll around soon after the death of a parent, child, sibling, and pets as well. Creating memories can be a lot of fun, but when the holidays come and go without the ones you create memories with, those traditions can change leaving you with an empty feeling. Everyone deals with the loss of loved ones differently, but holidays certainly bring that constant reminder that they are no longer around. Family dynamics, including other holidays outside of Thanksgiving and Christmas can mean this is extends throughout the year. Regardless of the time of year, the season that is felt in the heart can bring on the symptoms of SAD for many individuals. PEMF therapy cannot replace your loved ones, but it can aid in reducing the symptoms of depression at the first sign of depression.
3. When symptoms of SAD are not addressed it may get worse. Every individual is different, and as a result, everyone handles their depression differently as well. You may have friends that say keeping busy helps them get through it all. Should the symptoms of SAD continue for long periods of time without counseling or a positive attempt at therapy the symptoms may worsen. The longer the period of depression the more likely it is that an individual may experience suicidal thoughts. Feelings of loneliness, continual grief, and ultimately the feeling of hopelessness can cause a person to feel trapped. The feeling of depression with no end in sight has plagued many, leading to a final act of ending their lives too soon. The sooner PEMF therapy is used the better the outcome. 

Now that these points have been made, let’s discuss how PEMF therapy can help in each aspect regarding these symptoms and how to improve your quality of life during these difficult times.

How PEMF Therapy Works Against the Symptoms of SAD

Overcoming depression is not easy.

It is extremely difficult to navigate depression on your own.

This is when it’s wise to call on the wise counsel of therapists, psychologists, and research natural therapies that you can use in the meantime.

The FDA approved PEMF therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression, but it gets no attention.

Instead, prescriptions are written for medications and suggestions given for counseling.

Counseling is certainly a great idea.

Talking through things with someone that is not vested in your personal life can help offer a fresh perspective on what you are struggling with.

Not getting enough sunlight can certainly play a role in depression, or SAD. In parts of Alaska, sunlight may not be seen for a period of about two months.

How can PEMF therapy help in this case?

PEMF, or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been shown to correct the circadian rhythm when out of balance.

Those who suffer from poor sleep habits or those who fall asleep but cannot stay asleep may have an imbalance that they cannot pinpoint.

The natural cycle of the sunset and the sunrise is the same cycle our sleep schedule should follow naturally. PEMF devices aid in duplicating the natural electromagnetic fields of the earth, thus having the same effect.

This improves sleep and offers renewed energy when used properly.

This means that for the depressed individual, fatigue may dissipate and help them to sleep better which may help reduce the symptoms.

While PEMF therapy is NOT a cure, it is a wonderful complementary therapy that can be used alongside conventional therapies and other holistic therapies.

PEMF therapy works on a cellular level, meaning that neurons that may be misfiring and having a negative impact on the brain, can come to a state of balance and rest.

Many who have used PEMF therapy say that they have an improved sense of overall well-being, and that they also seem to think more clearly.

Depression can cause frustration, negative thoughts, and it can disturb the natural processes of the body.

This is why it is so important to research how PEMF therapy works, and WHY it is so effective for those suffering from depression and anxiety.

These symptoms of depression can strike any time of the year, and if you purchase your very own PEMF device, you can use it in your own home, on your terms.

Be well in your body, but it is equally important that you are well in your mind too.

Consider giving PEMF therapy a try this season, and conquer the “symptoms of SAD” in the comfort of your own home.
