Enhancing Blood Circulation with PEMF For Improved Health and Healing

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Sep 19, 2023

AMPLIFYING NITRIC OXIDE

One of the major advantages of PEMF therapy is its ability to optimize blood flow. By stimulating the production of nitric oxide1, a vital molecule that relaxes blood vessels and enhances blood circulation, PEMF therapy plays a significant role in improving overall health and promoting healing. Nitric oxide acts as a powerful vasodilator, expanding blood vessels and reducing resistance, allowing for more efficient blood flow. This increased circulation ensures that oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells are delivered effectively to various tissues and organs, ultimately supporting the body's healing process.

These scientific investigations into the effects of PEMF therapy on blood circulation have yielded consistently remarkable results. The studies have shown that PEMF therapy not only significantly increases blood flow velocity but also improves microcirculation, leading to enhanced oxygenation of tissues. One study, in particular, stands out for its findings published in the prestigious Journal of Orthopaedic Research. This study revealed that PEMF therapy can produce a remarkable increase in blood flow of up to 35% in the treated area2.

8 Health Benefits of Rooibos Tea vs Green Tea

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Jan 31, 2023

For years I have been drinking green tea based on all the researched health benefits. Recently, however, I learned that a diet high in oxalates can cause a myriad of health problems. Since black and green tea are considered to be high in oxalates, I decided to stop drinking these types of teas and instead increase my intake of rooibos tea. Truth be told, I've had Rooibos tea in my tea cupboard for years, but didn't really investigate how many health benefits it possesses. Perhaps you haven't heard of this herbal tea. Maybe it's time you checked it out too. It is very healthy, delicious and very low in oxalates. Now that's a winning combination! 

Basic Differences Between Rooibos Tea and Green Tea

Rooibos tea and green tea are both known for their numerous health benefits, but they have some key differences that make them unique. One of the main differences between the two teas is that rooibos is low in oxalates, while green tea contains high levels of oxalates. In this blog post, we will explore the health benefits of rooibos tea and green tea and discuss the importance of oxalates in relation to health.

Rooibos Tea

Rooibos, also known as red bush tea, is a well-known herbal tea, consumed for centuries by the Khoisan people of South Africa, has displayed potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, redox modulating, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, cardiometabolic support and organoprotective potential. This popular herbal tea that originated in South Africa is made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant and has a unique, slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Interestingly, rooibos tea only grows in the mountainous Cederberg region of South Africa.

One attractive feature of rooibos tea is that it is naturally caffeine-free. This makes it a great alternative to traditional tea or coffee for those who are sensitive to caffeine or for those who want to avoid caffeine for other reasons. Caffeine can cause jitteriness, anxiety, and trouble sleeping, and can also lead to dehydration.
