PEMF is an acronym for Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field. PEMF therapy consists of a mat which emits pulses of energy waves.  Dr. Armitstead explains in this episode that PEMF energy courses through the body directly to inflamed or injured areas. The energy is also drawn to areas experiencing chronic pain.  The energy waves of the PEMF mat passes through the organs and tissues and into the cells of your body, amplifying the cellular energy. The increase in energy promotes a natural reaction that regenerates and enhances the efficiency of the cell’s function. This natural process stimulates healing and helps to improve your overall well-being including your mood. 

During a PEMF session you lay on the mat that produces the PEMF and the energy goes into the body without you feeling anything.  The energy is that subtle to not disturb the body’s natural process as it goes into the cells.  Besides giving cells energy it also helps increase blood flow which is also part of the healing.  With increased blood flow it is promoting an increase in the blood’s oxygen levels.  In causing the body to have more oxygen that’s how chronic pain and stiffness is reduced among other health benefits.

Dr. Armitstead explains how with 20 minutes of PEMF therapy  once a week for 6 weeks helps with conditions like fibromyalgia, muscle pain, arthritis, depression, anxiety, tinnitus, PTSD, Lyme’s, chronic fatigue and musculoskeletal pain.  PEMF therapy is a great option for natural, chemical free pain relief and overall wellness because it functions through cell stimulation. Stimulation at a cellular level helps boost the body’s natural ability to fight back against inflammation. PEMF therapy is so effective because it is able to penetrate through skin, muscle, and even the bone. The electromagnetic field helps fight back against cellular damage and inflammation, and rejuvenate and create healthier cells.  Healthier cells equals a healthier you!

Dr. Armitstead truly believes we create our lives.  We may not have control over everything that happens in our life but we do have control with how we react and the goal is to learn to make lemonade out of lemons in any situation.  One of the tools that has helped her do that is the Sedona Method.   Listen to this episode to learn to let go of worry and anxiety.  Yes, letting go is key.  Have you ever held onto a point of view that no longer served you? Have you ever held onto an emotion from a situation that you had no control over?  Have you ever held onto anxiety or tension even after the initial event that triggered it was long over?  It is this form of holding on that the Sedona Method helps with.  The Sedona Method teaches you not just a philosophy but actual tools you can use to let go.  Holding on and letting go are natural processes that occur all the time in life and the Sedona method helps bring our awareness to where we hold on too tightly, where we want control, and helps us let go in order to be happy.

When helping people heal we make sure the nervous system is working well. The nervous system isn't only the brain, spine and nerves but also the heart.  The HeartMath Institute researches how important it is to have the heart and brain neurologically working together to have less stress on the body.  In this episode Dr. Armitstead explains the 10 easy steps of the HeartMath solution that can help you manage your emotions and feel less stressed by getting you out of your head and into the heart where your true nature lies.   Emotional healing is just as important as detoxing the body and giving the body the right nutritional support.  It’s so important mind, body, spirit.  They are all connected.

Dr. Armitstead continues to  give tools on how to help with emotions and daily stress by explaining self sabotage.  It comes from our subconscious mind that holds our hidden beliefs that affect our daily life.  To get to these subconscious beliefs Dr. Armitstead uses muscle testing and a technique called Psych-K to help her patients live the life they want.  Another tool she shares is one she developed herself called Hopetance.  Hopetance is where acceptance and hope meet in a current situation to bring about clarity, wisdom and discernment.  She then goes through the steps one needs to do in order to have hopetance. The third tool she gives is called Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping where you tap certain acupuncture points to release stuck emotion in the body.

In this episode Dr. Armitstead explains how your emotions create biochemical reactions in your body leading to unnecessary stress on the body that can cause all sorts of health concerns.  She explains how emotions really are just energy that runs through the mind and body, communicating something to for you to become aware of.  She shows how thoughts are a choice  and you can choose happiness and that one of the tools to help is meditation but not just silencing the mind.  To get the full benefits try a full cycle of communication where you share whatever is on your heart and then listen to that inner voice.  In part 2 Dr. Armitstead gives more tools you can use to put your mind and emotions at ease and explains more about the subconscious mind and what hinders us from living our healthiest, happiest lives.

At Healing Arts we believe that detoxing is a huge part in restoring your health no matter what health concern you may have.  With less toxins, your body's innate ability to heal itself can take place with the right nutrition.  Dr. Armitstead explains different detox pathways in the body and how to support them using food and herbs.  She shares a recipe for a heavy metal detox smoothie and explains how a detox foot bath works.

Water is so essential to life.  I wish I could put it in supplement form for my patients because many of them do not drink enough and when they do drink it tends not to be of quality.  If you don’t drink enough good quality water right now and you start I bet you that your overall health will increase by 10%, just by drinking water!  Trust me, staying hydrated is key to a healthy body.  In this podcast Dr. Armitstead explains the importance of drinking enough, good quality water, what water filters are best, why to stay away from plastic water bottles, how healthy water is when you add lime or lemon to it, why you want to drink water first thing in the morning and the health benefits of ozone water.  Listen to this podcast if you have bladder infections, digestion issues including constipation, blood pressure issues, joint stiffness, temperature regulating problems, or poor memory.  All those symptoms could be due not drinking enough, good quality water.

It is so important for health to detox. Healing Arts has a  podcast on heavy metals detox, heavy chemical detox, and even how to support the liver to detox.  Dr. Armitstead truly believes that health can be achieved if people give their body the right nutritional support and lifestyle changes to get rid of toxins.  Yet, the number one thing that gets in the way of the body to heal itself given the right nutrition and support is stress.  Over the years Dr. Armitstead has learned that helping patients with their stress, anxiety or depression is so important so in this podcast she explains what you can do to help your anxiety and depression by bringing your awareness to your daily choices and stressful thoughts and how stuck emotions cause us to self sabotage and go into addictions.  To help with stress surrendering is important and Dr. Armitstead shares how to do that; give life 100% and yet surrender at the same time is important for a happy life.
