RF radiation, short for radiofrequency radiation, refers to a type of non-ionizing electromagnetic energy used to transmit signals wirelessly. It’s what allows modern technologies like mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, smart meters, and cellular networks to function. RF radiation sits on the lower-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning it doesn’t damage DNA in the way ionizing radiation (such as X-rays or gamma rays) can.
From a holistic wellness perspective, the concern around RF radiation isn’t about acute harm, but chronic exposure. Our bodies evolved in a natural electromagnetic environment shaped by the Earth, the sun, and biological rhythms—not by constant man-made signals. Continuous RF exposure may act as a subtle stressor on the body’s biofield, nervous system, and overall energetic coherence, especially for people who are sensitive or already under stress.
