alphawavesThe human brain generates several types of energy waves which pulsate at different speeds. Alpha brain waves are slow, and scientific research has proven that when people are in the “alpha state”, they receive more oxygen return to the brain, allowing them to rest or sleep more peacefully and deeply.

German and Japanese scientists have discovered that Tourmaline and Germanium can radiate an energy of 8-13Hz per second, which matches exactly to the alpha wave frequency in the human brain. When exposed to this

wave frequency, the brain can more quickly enter the alpha state, thereby bringing about a calm and peaceful sleep.

Alpha brain waves are considered relaxed brainwave activity. Alpha brain waves are brain waves that cycle within the range of 8 – 13 Hz and are usually generated in the brains right hemisphere or in a synchronized pattern between both right and left hemispheres. Alpha waves kick in when our mind and body are completely relaxed and free of stress.

Alpha is generally thought of as the normal brainwave that is dominant in people who are relaxed, creative, and have a clear mind. Alpha is considered the “normal” brainwave pattern and is dominant when people close their eyes. Children tend to have much higher levels of alpha brainwaves than adults. Alpha brainwaves are considered the healthiest brainwave range and 10 Hz has widely been accepted as the “safest” brainwave frequency to train.

Studies have shown that the alpha state has many therapeutic effects on our health, including:

 

  • Brain strengthening and an increase in intellect
  • Improvement in mental clarity and focus
  • Help with falling asleep
  • Delay of the aging process
  • Improvement in the body’s ability to heal itself

 

It should be noted that the above benefits experienced may vary from individual to individual.
