VIVOBASE Switzerland
Headaches, poor sleep, inner restlessness: some people associate such complaints with phones, Wi-Fi or mobile antennas. This is referred to as electrosensitivity or electromagnetic hypersensitivity. What is known about it?
The complaints are real
The World Health Organization and the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health take the described symptoms seriously. Those affected really do suffer, often severely. What remains open is the cause.
What research says
In so-called provocation studies, participants did not know whether a transmitter was switched on or off. They were generally unable to reliably perceive fields below the limits. A causal link between weak fields and the complaints has not been scientifically proven to date. At the same time, some studies report indications of biological reactions. Research continues.
What helps in everyday life
- Get a medical check-up. Many symptoms have several possible causes. The FOPH recommends starting with your GP.
- Make the bedroom a quiet zone. Phone out or in airplane mode, router off at night.
- Distance from devices. It reduces exposure the most and costs nothing.
- Reduce stress overall. Exercise, daylight and fixed offline times calm the nervous system.
VIVOBASE is not a medical device and not a substitute for treatment. Many customers use it as a simple basis for a calmer home, alongside the habits above.
