BioMat Infrared Therapy

How the BioMat Works

The technologies underlying the BioMat are not new.  In fact, some of the underlying concepts have existed for more than a thousand years, while others have been refined or confirmed by modern science and medicine.  However, it is only recently that far infrared and negative ion technologies have been used in the development of medical products that are affordable enough for home users and independent health professionals.

Three complementary technologies deliver powerful results

The BioMat is made possible by three complementary technologies that work synergistically to deliver powerful healing treatments:  

 

1.Negative Ion Technology

The first of these technologies first came to light when two gifted scientists, Dr. Erwin Neher and Dr. Bert Sakmann, discovered that ion channels exist in our body cells that are capable of stimulating the cells and altering the cell membranes to allow cells to communicate with one another.  These ion channels essentially act like “pores” in the cells, letting external stimuli deep into the center of the cell.  They are even capable of stimulating new memory traces in the brain!  Neher and Sakmann revolutionized the field of cell biology and received the Nobel Prize in 1991 for their discovery.

2. Far Infrared Spectrum Therapy

The effectiveness of light therapy has been acknowledged by the mainstream medical profession for some time now.  Laser light has been used to tone and rejuvenate skin and reduce fine lines. The beneficial properties of far infrared light have received particular attention from the scientific community in recent years, although the first research conducted on this part of the light spectrum was undertaken by NASA decades ago.

3. Natural Superconducting Properties Deliver Deep Treatment

The third technology incorporated into the BioMat is the oldest and most valued throughout the centuries. Amethyst’s healing powers have been celebrated for thousands of years.  The ancient Greeks believed it protected against intoxication. In fact, the word originates from the Greek word, “amethustos” or “sobriety.” Leonardo da Vinci believed that amethyst had the power to protect against evil and to increase intelligence. Buddhists use the stone to enhance peace and tranquility during meditation.  Today, modern science shows us that centuries of lore surrounding the stone’s healing powers are supported by its unique physical characteristics, including its piezoelectric properties, which allow it to carry both a negative and a positive charge simultaneously.  The outermost layer of every BioMat product is covered with channels of pure amethyst through which the far infrared rays must pass.  The superconducting properties of the amethyst layer turn these rays into long wavelengths capable of safely and deeply, penetrating the body.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are far infrared rays?

Far infrared rays are part of the electro-magnetic light spectrum and are close to the light frequency of natural sunlight.  However, far infrared does not contain any of sunlight’s harmful UV/UVB radiation. The beneficial properties of far infrared light have received particular attention from the scientific community in recent years, although the first research conducted on this part of the light spectrum was undertaken by NASA decades ago.  Today, health practitioners from a wide range of disciplines agree on the beneficial properties of far infrared technology.

What are negative ions?

An ion is a particle containing an electrical charge. An ion with a negative electrical charge is called a negative ion, and this type of ion is now considered to be integral to healthy cellular function.

How does the BioMat deliver far infrared rays and negative ions to the human body?

The BioMat stimulates ion channels by producing negative ions that deliver energy to the cells of the body.  The topmost layer of the BioMat is constructed of superconducting channels of pure amethyst, which allow the far infrared rays and negative ions to penetrate the body deeply.

How does amethyst quartz enhance ionic and far infrared ray therapy?

Amethyst’s healing properties have been acknowledged and celebrated for centuries by ancient scientists, healers and others.  Now, modern science has confirmed the highly conductive properties of this remarkable mineral.  Amethyst crystals offer the most consistent and powerful delivery of far infrared light waves, and ionic effects to the human body.

What specific conditions and symptoms can the BioMat treat?

Because the BioMat’s far infrared rays penetrate deeply into the body and promotes our natural state of health and balance, it can be used to treat a wide range of health issues.

US FDA’s Medical Device 510K indications for use:

  • Relaxation of muscles,

  • Increase of local circulation where applied

 

Temporary relief of:

  • Minor muscle pain

  • Minor joint pain and stiffness

  • Joint pain associated with arthritis

  • Muscle spasms

  • Minor sprains

  • Minor strains

  • Minor muscular back pain

 

Other benefits found from the BioMat:

  • Reduces stress and fatigue

  • Soothes and relaxes

  • Supports the immune system

  • Improved sleep (if associated with pain relief)

  • Reduced inflammation (where applied)

  • Promotes relaxation by application of heat

  • Promotes restful sleep for those with occasional sleeplessness

When will I start to see results from my BioMat?

Every person’s experience with the BioMat is different.  Many people achieve immediate relief from certain pain and discomfort, right away.  For others, it will take a few weeks before the deep-penetrating treatment begins to bring relief.
