BioMat
The BioMat produces soothing infrared rays and negative ions, delivering a wealth of health benefits. The temperatures can be adjusted for different conditions as can the length of time of use. The BioMat stimulates ion channels by producing negative ions that deliver energy to the cells of the body.
The BioMat is an FDA licensed medical device that combines state of the art far infrared light and negative ion technology with the healing powers of amethyst crystals.
Unlike an electric blanket, the pad does not get hot when it is turned on. However, if you lie down on it, it warms the inside of the body and the part of the pad making contact with your skin gets warm. The far infrared rays penetrate up to 6 inches into the body. Therefore, these rays not only benefit muscles on the surface of the body but all cells, including blood vessels, lymph glands and nerves in the deepest parts of the body.
Key Health Benefits
Supports Core Body Temperature
Enzymes are responsible for nearly every chemical and biological process in the body, and they are very sensitive to temperature. A small decrease in temperature can cause a large decrease in the activity of an enzyme. Many people have low body temperatures without considering if this could be related to other health problems.
Relieves Stress, Improves Mood, Promotes Relaxation
The BioMat is more relaxing than most other infrared therapy modalities because you can lay down. We also recommend using headphones with ambient music to further the relaxing effects.

Heals Soft Tissue
For existing injuries, such as strains or sprains, or other soft tissue injuries, heat is the best treatment. The BioMat allows you to deliver heat deeply to the injury site, rather than just on the skin. It produces far infrared light without becoming hot to the touch, so you can use it very near to the injury as well.

Relieves Pain
Infrared therapy is known to relieve chronic pain. Click here for one interesting study, focusing on back pain. However, many infrared devices offer no way to easily target that therapy on the affected area for long spans of time. The BioMat produces a significant amount of far infrared light, without being hot to the touch. So it can be used close to the body, and can be used in a variety of ways. Infrared light offers a powerful and natural form of pain relief, with no unpleasant side effects.
Improves Circulation
Whole-body infrared therapy, also called waon therapy, can increase the temperature of the body, and improve circulation greatly. The capillaries expand, and the hands and feet become warm in the effort to shed excess heat. This extra blood flow allows more nutrients and oxygen to reach the cells, allows wastes to be rapidly exported, and allows rapid drainage of accumulated lymph.
