ONDAMED / PEMF Research
ONDAMED-Focused PEMF and Gene-Expression Research
Panja, A., Binder, R., & Binder, S. (2021). Focused-pulsed electromagnetic field treatment reverses lipopolysaccharide-induced alterations in gene expression profile in human gastrointestinal epithelial cells. International Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 10, 55–69.
This ONDAMED-focused paper explores how focused pulsed electromagnetic field exposure was associated with changes in gene-expression patterns in human gastrointestinal epithelial cells in a laboratory setting. It is included as early-stage mechanistic research and should not be read as clinical proof or a treatment claim.
PDF versionPEMF and Inflammation-Resolution Pathway Markers
Kubat, N. J., Moffett, J., & Fray, L. M. (2015). Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment on programmed resolution of inflammation pathway markers in human cells in culture. Journal of Inflammation Research, 8, 59–69.
This peer-reviewed article explores how pulsed electromagnetic field exposure was associated with changes in gene-expression markers involved in inflammation and resolution pathways in human cells in culture. It is included as mechanistic PEMF background research, not as a clinical claim for WellBeingFem sessions.
Full articleElectromagnetic Fields and Bone Remodelling
Liu, J., Ren, W., Wang, S., Yang, J., Zhang, H., Zeng, Y., Yin, D., & Shang, P. (2025). The effects and mechanisms of electromagnetic fields on bone remodeling: From clinical to laboratory. Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 52, 14–26.
This open-access review explores research into electromagnetic fields and bone remodelling, including biological mechanisms and clinical research areas related to bone health. It is included as wider PEMF / electromagnetic-field background reading and is not ONDAMED-specific.
Full articleHealy & Frequency-Based Wellbeing Resources
Official Healy Scientific-Basis Information
Healy World. Scientific Basis of the Healy.
This official Healy resource provides background information on Healy’s frequency-based wellbeing technology and how the company explains its approach to bioenergetic wellbeing. As this is manufacturer-provided information, it is best understood as product background rather than independent clinical evidence.

Walach, H., & Marmann, P. (2021). Self-Treatment to Improve Mental and Physical Health Using Two Bioenergetic Devices: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Journal of Psychiatry and Psychiatric Disorders, 5(4), 107–119.
This randomized controlled trial explored self-treatment with Healy and Healy Coil devices in medically healthy volunteers over a short two-week period. The authors reported improvements in general wellbeing measures, while noting that the study was not blinded and that device effects cannot be clearly separated from expectation or placebo effects. It is included here as Healy-specific wellbeing research, not as proof that Healy treats medical conditions or as evidence for remote sessions.
PDF versionHealy and Wellbeing Meta-Analysis
Walach, H., & Marmann, P. (2023). Bioenergy Treatment for Improving Well-Being: A Meta-Analysis. Complementary Medicine Research, 30(3), 258–269.
This meta-analysis reviewed several studies involving the Healy device and general wellbeing in healthy individuals. The authors reported positive findings for wellbeing, while also noting that the available studies came from the producer’s research and development department, that independent confirmation would be desirable, and that the mechanism of effect remains unclear. It is included here as background reading on Healy and wellbeing, not as clinical proof or a treatment claim.
PubMedReiki & Distant Reiki Research
Reiki Therapy for Pain and Anxiety in Adults
Thrane, S., & Cohen, S. M. (2014). Effect of Reiki Therapy on Pain and Anxiety in Adults: An In-Depth Literature Review of Randomized Trials with Effect Size Calculations. Pain Management Nursing, 15(4), 897–908.
This literature review examined randomized trials of Reiki therapy in relation to pain and anxiety in adults. It is included as background reading on Reiki as a complementary support, while recognising that research quality, study design and clinical context vary.
PubMedReiki Therapy for Pain, Anxiety and Quality of Life
Billot, M., Daycard, M., Wood, C., & Tchalla, A. (2019). Reiki therapy for pain, anxiety and quality of life. BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care, 9(4), 434–438.
This review explored Reiki therapy in relation to pain, anxiety, depression and quality of life. It is included here as useful background on Reiki as a complementary approach to comfort and wellbeing, not as proof that Reiki treats or cures medical or psychological conditions.
PubMedReiki and Mental Health Symptoms Above Placebo
Zadro, S., & Stapleton, P. (2022). Does Reiki Benefit Mental Health Symptoms Above Placebo? Frontiers in Psychology, 13, 897312.
This review examined Reiki research in relation to mental health symptoms and placebo comparison. The authors reported that Reiki may offer benefits in some contexts, particularly where stress, anxiety or depression symptoms are clinically relevant, while also recognising that the evidence remains developing. It is included here as cautious background reading on Reiki and emotional wellbeing.
PubMedGuided Meditation Journeys & Inner Imagery Research
Heart Coherence, Self-Regulation and Emotional Balance
McCraty, R., & Zayas, M. A. (2014). Cardiac coherence, self-regulation, autonomic stability, and psychosocial well-being. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, 1090.
This paper explores cardiac coherence, emotional self-regulation, autonomic stability and psychosocial wellbeing. It is included as background reading on heart coherence and heart-brain communication, which are relevant to the WellBeingFem focus on breath, emotional health, self-regulation and inner balance. It should not be read as a treatment claim.
PDF versionIntensive Meditation and Mind-Body Biological Pathways
Zuniga-Hertz, J. P., Chitteti, R., Dispenza, J., Cuomo, R., Bonds, J. A., Kopp, E. L., Simpson, S., et al. (2023). Meditation-induced bloodborne factors as an adjuvant treatment to COVID-19 disease. Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health, 32, 100675.
This study explored intensive meditation practice and biological / plasma measures. It is included because it supports the wider research idea that intensive mind-body meditation may be associated with measurable biological changes across pathways linked with stress response, immune function and wellbeing. This was not a simple guided visualisation study and should be framed as emerging mind-body research, not as a treatment claim or as proof that meditation prevents or treats illness.
PubMedGuided Imagery, Stress, Brain Activity and Attention
Zemla, K., Sedek, G., Wróbel, K., Postepski, F., & Wojcik, G. M. (2023). Investigating the Impact of Guided Imagery on Stress, Brain Functions, and Attention: A Randomized Trial. Sensors, 23(13), 6210.
This randomised trial explored guided imagery in relation to stress, alpha brainwave activity and attentional control. The authors reported that guided imagery showed potential for reducing stress and supporting attentional control. It is included as research background for guided imagery as a structured mind-body practice, not as proof that guided meditation treats medical or psychological conditions.

Apostolo, J. L. A., & Kolcaba, K. (2009). The Effects of Guided Imagery on Comfort, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress of Psychiatric Inpatients with Depressive Disorders. Archives of Psychiatric Nursing, 23(6), 403–411.
This study explored guided imagery recordings in relation to comfort, depression, anxiety and stress in psychiatric inpatients. It is included because it is directly relevant to guided imagery as an accessible reflective practice. It should be read carefully and not presented as evidence that WellBeingFem guided meditation journeys treat anxiety, depression or any psychological condition.
PubMedNature-Based Guided Imagery and State Anxiety
Nguyen, J., & Brymer, E. (2018). Nature-Based Guided Imagery as an Intervention for State Anxiety. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, 1858.
This study explored nature-based guided imagery and state anxiety. It is useful background reading for WellBeingFem because many guided meditation journeys use nature, symbolic landscapes and inner imagery. It should be understood as educational background only, not as a treatment claim.
