Science Behind Our Blankets
Our SleepGift™ EMF Protection Blankets’ fabric is infused with silver particles which absorb invisible energy waves coming from cell phones, wireless devices, wifi sources, microwaves, 5G cameras. Therefore the harmful EMF waves get dissipated by silver minerals before reaching the body.
The silver particles also release positive ions to their surroundings that bind to negatively charged bacteria and viruses, stopping their reproduction. This provides protection against everyday germs and bacteria, preventing infections, and controlling foul body odour when the silver is in contact with skin.
Positively charged silver ions create a conductive field. This effect stimulates the body’s existing conductivity, improving blood circulation, temperature balance and general healing.
SleepGift™ EMF Protection Blankets are filled with eco-friendly beads which are made with natural clay and minerals. These special minerals get activated with body temperature and release far infrared rays. Natural Far Infrared Rays (FIR) have many good health effects on the body by penetrating through the skin. Far infrared expands blood vessels which stimulateblood flow, regeneration, oxygenation, and circulation. Other benefits include:
- Improving detoxification
- Boosting immune system
- Increasing serotonin level
- Relaxation and pain management
- Strengthens the cardiovascular system
- Decreasing inflammation and stiffness
- Increasing skin complexion
Far Infrared Rays are emitted by natural sunlight and not visible to the human eye. All living bodies absorb and emit FIR energy at different levels. The health benefits are shown by many researchers and the healing effect of FIR was known since ancient times. FIR is also known as “miracle light” and its healing power is proven with many scientific studies.
The bioceramic beads in SleepGift™ EMF Protection Blankets bring all these good FIR effects from nature to your body during your sleep.
SleepGift™ EMF Protection Blankets are innovated to help consumers protect themselves from EMFs adverse effects and have benefit of FIR’s healing effect during the long sleep hours to bring them healthier outcomes.
