FAR INFARED CONTRAINDICATIONS:
- Cardiovascular Conditions: Individuals with unstable Angina, Aortic Stenosis, or Recent Heart Attack should avoid use. Those with Low or High Blood Pressure, or Impaired Circulation, must exercise caution due to heat-induced stress.
- Pregnancy: Pregnant individuals should avoid using infrared.

- Acute Injuries & Inflammation: Avoid heating joints for the first 48 hours after an injury or if they are Hot and Swollen.
- Medical Implants: While Metal Pins, Rods, or Artificial Joints often reflect infrared waves, individuals with Silicone or other Surgical Implants should consult their physician.
- Medication Interaction: Medications that affect Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, or Perspiration may become less effective or cause adverse reactions.
- Skin Conditions: Open Wounds or Severe Skin Conditions (e.g., Severe Eczema) may be exacerbated.
PEMF CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Primary Contraindications (Absolute):
- Pacemakers and Electronic Implants: Electromagnetic fields can interfere with Pacemakers, Cochlear Implants, or Intrathecal Pumps.
- Pregnancy: Insufficient research exists on the safety of PEMF during pregnancy.
- Active Cancer/Tumors: Generally advised against, as it should not be applied directly over known cancers.
Secondary Contraindications (Consult Doctor):
- Bleeding/Hemophilia: Increased blood flow may worsen active bleeding or hemorrhage.
- Epilepsy/Seizure Disorders: Potential to trigger Seizures.
- Infections/Fever: Acute Infections or High Fever are contraindicated.
- Organ Transplants: Those on Immunosuppressants should avoid.
- Myasthenia Gravis: A contraindication mentioned in some device protocols.

BINUARAL BEAT CONSTAINDICATIONS
- Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders: People with epilepsy or a history of seizures should avoid binaural beats, as the brainwave modulation (particularly frequencies under 10 Hz) may trigger seizures.
- Heart Conditions and Pacemakers: Because brain waves are linked to heart rhythms, changing them via audio stimulation could potentially affect individuals with heart conditions or those with pacemakers.
- Mental or Psychiatric Disorders: Individuals with schizophrenia or other severe psychological disorders should exercise caution and seek medical advice, as the change in brainwaves might adversely affect their condition.
- Pregnant Women: It is advised that pregnant women avoid brainwave entertainment, as it has been cautioned that it could potentially stimulate labor.
- Sensory Disorders: Those sensitive to sound, such as individuals with hyperacusis or severe anxiety disorders, may find the beats overwhelming, uncomfortable, or capable of increasing anxiety.
