Manufactured by Richway, the Original Bio-Mat, made with 17 layers of space-age materials, combines state-of-the-art far infrared (FIR) light and negative iontechnology with the healing power of amethyst. Many insurance companies consider the Bio-Mat a viable treatment option for pain as well as other musculoskeletal problems. The Bio-Mat is a revolutionary healing tool, ideal for health care professionals or anyone interested in improving their overall health and well-being. As an FDA-registered medical device, the Bio-Mat:
- Improves Circulation and Cardiovascular Function
- Improves Immune System Function
- Relieves Pain
- Burns Calories and Controls Weight
- Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness
- Reduces Stress and Fatigue
- Improves Skin
- Removes Bodily Toxins and Assists in Detoxification
Far Infrared
The Bio-Mat is different from any other infrared or negative ion generating device on the market and is the original FIR mat of its kind. The Bio-Mat uses NASA technology to generate FIR waves, using special compounds of alumina and silica, which can convert any normal energy into infrared rays very efficiently at room temperatures. Japanese kurare's super fiber is used in the construction to generate FIR.
8.8 Micron Infrared
The Bio-Mat is a unique medical device producing both far infrared (FIR) as well as generating medium (8.8 micron wavelength) 'Human' infrared. According to NASA research, Human infrared normalized a variety of important physiological functions, especially glandular functions. This Human infrared feature of the Bio-Mat makes it different from any other infrared device on the market. The Bio-Mat generates this special spectrum of 8.8 micron infrared through a special sensor which amplifies the amount of 8.8 micron infrared exposure.
10 Hz Infrared
The Bio-Mat includes another sensor which generates 10 Hz infrared. World renowned scientist Dr. Chian, of China, demonstrated that 10 Hz infrared acts as an information carrier when passed through various materials, including human and animal DNA, pheromones, as well as gemstones such as Amethyst. Bio-Mat's with 10 Hz sensors were tested along with a control group of Bio-Mat's without the 10 Hz sensor. The most potent healing effects occurred only under the group with the 10 Hz sensors. This means that infrared alone was not as effective for the healing, but rather the addition of information being released from the Amethyst provided the greater effect, as hypothesized by researchers. As one Korean Research scientist said, 'It appears that with infrared we are talking about energy, but with the addition of amethyst, the 10 Hz infrared, we are now talking about energy plus healing information. This is the critical difference between the uses of infrared saunas, infrared mats (without 10 Hz infrared or amethyst) and the Bio-Mat. This may explain why so many reports of healing have occurred over the history of the Bio-Mat.
Negative Ions
The Bio-Mat also delivers Negative Ions, energizing the body for optimal health. The negative ions delivered through the Bio-Mat are delivered directly to the body through the skin's surface via conduction. This greatly differs from ambient air ions delivered through the popular negative ion generators used for air cleaning, which NASA reported only positively affecting 26% of people. The direct conduction of negative ions allows for an immediate response and change in the body's electrical field for all people, assisting them to achieve an optimal physiological state.
When negative ions are applied to the body, the Calcium and Sodium circulating in the blood are ionized. This increases the blood's pH and has an overall alkalizing effect on the body. Proper blood pH is essential for optimal health. It has been noted that the negative Ions applied to the body are helpful at regulating blood pH.
When the amount of negative ions in the blood increases, there is an increase in inter-cellular communication. Cellular metabolism is facilitated, and as a result there is an increase in cellular nutrient uptake and cellular hydration. In addition, cellular waste materials are efficiently excreted. With the increase in cellular metabolism, an optimal cell function is rapidly revived.
Indoor environment, city living, automobiles, exposure to electronic devices, EMF's (electro-magnetic fields), and environmental pollution all result in increased positive ions in one's body, tilting the ratio of ions towards the positive. This results in a physiological imbalance, which may have detrimental health consequences. Too few negative ions in our body can cause a number of diseases. Some of the health problems associated with an imbalance of ions in the body include: anemia, allergies, shoulder pain, lumbago, rheumatism, neuralgia, headaches, kidney problems, imbalanced autonomic nervous system function, insomnia, and fatigue.
Amethyst Crystals
The Bio-Mat is further enhanced with gemstone-quality Amethyst Crystals, known for their calming and healing effects since ancient times. The "Amethyst Effect" is a change in infrared light when refracted through amethyst crystals. Scientists experimented passing far infrared (FIR) light through a variety of substances, including various gems, glasses, and plastics. Amethyst was found to be the only substance which clearly changed the spectrum of infrared light. Waveforms mimicked patterns similar to the human voice according to scientists. Crystallography shows FIR refracted through amethyst crystals organizes FIR into geometrical patters with higher bio-compatibility. Korean researchers propose that addition of the amethyst allows for greater increase in the utilization of the light by the human organism.
Far infrared Rays penetrate 6-8 inches into the human body. These rays not only benefit the skin and muscle tissue on the surface of the body, but penetrate into the deeper tissues. The FIR penetrates into the lymph glands, blood vessels, nerves, as well as key organs. The rays optimize the health of these tissues in a number of ways. Scientists propose that among the energy spectrum coming from the sun, far infrared ray waves are by far the safest and most beneficial electromagnetic energy available for the human body, directly affecting all metabolic and cellular functions.
