Short answer: "the wave of life" is a nickname from the wellness world, not an official scientific term.[7]
- Where it comes from: the nickname is usually explained by the idea that water and many large molecules in the body move at frequencies in or near this range. We haven't verified that claim here, so treat it as an explanation people give, not a finding.
- What science says: terahertz is non-ionizing and lies between microwave and infrared, and the authors of a 2014 review say research into its biological effects has only just begun.[3]
- What we say: the nickname is poetry, not proof. We don't promise results, and a session is a wellness experience, not a treatment.[7]
When to see a doctor
See a doctor for any pain or symptom that is severe, getting worse or doesn't settle.
