Health Benefits of Biomat's Far Infrared Technology

biomat benefits with far infrared rays

Increases circulation

One of the benefits of Far Infrared Rays is that the rays raise body temperature, warming the blood and expanding the blood vessels. There is an increase in peripheral blood flow and volume, resulting in improved circulation and heart function.

Improves Immune Functions

Far Infrared Ray’s (FIR) deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial and healthy fever. As the body works to combat the fever, your immune system is activated and strengthened, which in turn produces a detoxification of harmful toxins and waste products.  

Relieves Pain

The deep heat of Far Infrared helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscles and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen rich blood to oxygen depleted muscles, so they may recover faster.

Burns Calories

As you relax in the gentle heat of the Far Infrared, your body is actually hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories. According to the 8/7/81 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association report, a single 30 minute far infrared session burns as many calories as rowing or jogging for 30 minutes. This can be helpful for disabled persons who are unable to move, as well as those looking to increase metabolism and burn calories via alternative means.

Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness

Far Infrared heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many kinds of arthritis. In addition, far infrared ray therapy has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness, and many other musculo-skeletal ailments. Stiffness, aches, and soreness that come with aging can be reduced or eliminated by using Far Infrared heat therapy (FIR).

Reduces Stress and Fatigue

The gentle warmth of the Far Infrared Rays help to soothe nerves and relax tight or knotted muscles. The end result is reduced stress and improved energy. Receiving massages while on the Biomat can be especially beneficial, as the far infrared heat warms and relaxes the muscles to better receive the healing touch of your practitioner.

Improves Skin

Far Infrared and Negative Ions penetrate the skin deeply, helping to cleanse impurities from the skin and lymph. In addition, exfoliation is greatly enhanced by the far infrared, rapidly removing dead skin cells. Increased circulation draws your skin’s own natural nutrients to the surface, rejuvenating its health and appearance.

Assists in elimination

Far Infrared rays helps to cleanse the body in several important ways. Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands and lymph system, releasing built up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help cleanse your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid, cholesterol, and uric acid. In addition to sweating, far infrared is capable of mobilizing toxins and acidic waste, allowing for their removal via several other bodily systems.

Health Benefits of Direct Conduction Negative Ions

The Truth about “Negative Ions”

Negative ions have a positive effect on people. Positive ions have a negative effect on people. An atom that has one of it’s normal, orbiting electrons removed is called a positive ion. An atom with an extra electron added is called a negative ion. A bit confusing, no? It’s a misnomer that we can thank Benjamin Franklin for. Back in his time, electrons (with a “negative” charge) and atoms were not understood correctly. So we’re stuck with the 18th century terminology, and that is why the good ions are called “Negative Ions.”

Blood Alkalization and Blood Purification

When negative ions are applied to the body, the calcium and sodium circulating in the blood are ionized. This changes the blood pH into an alkaline state and has an overall alkalizing effect on the body. The normal pH of human arterial blood is approximately 7.40 (normal range is 7.35 – 7.45), a weak alkaline solution.
Blood that has a pH below 7.35 is considered acidic, while blood pH above 7.45 is alkaline. Proper blood pH is essential for optimal health. It has been noted that the negative ions applied to the body are helpful in regulating pH.

Reviving the Cell

When the amount of negative ions in the blood increases, there is an increase in inter-cellular communication. This occurs as the cell membranes are opened, and cellular metabolism is facilitated. As a result, there is an increase in cellular nutrient uptake and cellular hydration. In addition, cellular waste materials are more efficiently excreted. With the increase in cellular metabolism, optimal cell function is rapidly revived. For more information, research the Nobel Prize in Physiology (1991) for the discovery of the ionic channel.

"I had chronic aches and pains throughout my whole body and I was constantly exhausted; I was stuck in stress mode. Within three months of using the biomat, my aches and pains disappeared and I finally felt I that had caught up on the sleep that I had been craving. I had mental clarity. I was totally renewed, rejuvenated, and I could sustain my energy again. Now, when I jump on for 15 minutes, any imbalances or stresses in my body are resolved quickly. The biomat has truly saved my life."
Amber Leiv Monaghan, Maui, Hawaii
"I love my Biomat. I sleep on it all night. One hour at the top red and the rest of the night at one yellow. It has made HUGE changes in my health.My hands and feelt have always bothered me. Even with elevating them all night they would still be swollen every morning and would just get worse every day. Now- I wake up with my bones sticking out - like every other person. By the end of the day I may have some swelling but nothing like it used to be. I also have both hips replaced and a triple back fusion. The Biomat makes a HUGE difference in my pain level - pain free. LOVE IT."

"I have been suffering from chronic neck and back pain for over 3 years, after being involved in an accident with a semi. I went through 10 months of physical therapy, 3 MRI's, 4 EMG tests, 36 spinal injections, a trip to the emergency, and countless prescriptions for pain and nothing seemed to be working. I was becoming desperate and depressed until I was introduced to the Biomat. After only 2 months of using the Biomat I can now say that I am pain free. It is the only thing that has helped me not only with my pain, but with my attitude as well. I love my Biomat."
Rene McFadden
"As a researcher and promoter of quality health products, I am always searching for the most effective. Personally, I am very electro-magnetic sensitive, which limits my time and use of some wonderful products. What I found most interesting with the AMETHYST Biomat is that it seems my core resistance to electro-magnetics is becoming stronger. I can go to the grocery store, use other electrical products, sit at the computer and even on the phone much longer than before, which is a true God-send. Thank You!."
M. Arnold, MN.
I am writing this letter of testimony, to share what the Bio-Mat has done for me. Using the Bio-Mat helped to decrease body aches and other ailments like sore throat and muscle pains. I am also able to relax and sleep better at night. By sharing the Bio-Mat with my friends, it eased their body aches and pains as well. The Bio-Mat is a helpful way to relieve body ailments and I give a thoughtful thank you.
Efigenia Ventura
"My wife and I are very active an exercise regularly. I am a dentist and because of the nature of my profession, many times I have lower back or neck pain. We both look forward to the 30-40 minutes we spend on the Biomat to help alleviate aches and pains and in addition find that our energy level is rejuvenated. We highly endorse this product and recommend it to anyone who is very active or those suffering from chronic pain."
Miki & Dr. Steve Jarvie
“Until I first tried the Biomat in November 2005, I relied on physical therapy and analgesics to control the pain I endured from multiple injuries I suffered over 25 years as an ironworker. I was unable to move my head from side to side without turning my upper body. Every joint in my body ached. My sister had given me the Biomat and Alkal-Life water unit to use in September 2005, but I was skeptical. She finally convinced me to try the may for my pain for a week and report to her. Each day I seemed to be getting better. I started slow and easy as she recommended and at the end of the week I was doing an hour daily on the red setting. After a few days of this, I noticed that every injury I had suffered while working iron surfaced, then gradually disappeared. I also suffer from COPD and use oxygen tanks daily. After the first week, I decided to hook up the Alkal-Life water unit. I began with an 8.5 pH. Instantly, I felt my brain clear. I guess I was getting more oxygen. I have been using the Biomat a few times a week and drinking alkaline water daily. I am now pain free ( I no longer need physical therapy and analgesics ). I have more energy. I still require oxygen occasionally when I overexert myself. I used to feel “disabled” and useless. My life is now fuller than I imagined it could ever be at my age. The Biomat and Alkal-Life Water System have greatly improved my life.”
T. Traversie of Ridgeview, SD
“I first experienced the biomat at a health expo. After 10 minutes of laying on it I was amazed that it took away my hip and knee pain that I’d been unable to find relief from after several different treatments including chiropractic and physical therapy. As a pharmacist I was really impressed that it worked so much better than anything my traditional background had led me to. My experience stuck with me so when we opened a holistic skincare and cosmetics spa, I insisted we include the biomat. Since using the biomat regularly in conjunction with drinking alkaline ionized water, I have been pleasantly surprised at the improvement. I am so happy how much better I feel and how much more energy I now have. I look forward to sharing it with as many people as I can.”
Cynthia Cisneros, RPh

"When I developed symptoms of COVID-19, I discovered that my Biomat was an ESSENTIAL part of my self-care and recovery plan. I started having COVID-19 symptoms three days after treating a patient that turned out to be COVID-19 positive. With my underlying health conditions, I was an at-risk individual. I experienced all the symptoms, including shortness of breath and chest pain and pressure. After resting on the Biomat, my lungs would feel clearer and move more freely. I could breathe easier, as if the "stuckness" in my chest was breaking up. The warmth felt wonderful when I had chills, warming me from neck to toes, and calming my nerves. When I'd experience headaches, a rest on the Biomat would clear the pain completely. The sensations of burning chest pain and pressure would also significantly lessen, and my kidneys ached less. When I slept on the Biomat, I would sleep more deeply, and I woke with more energy. My symptoms remained mild-moderate, and I never needed to be hospitalized. I was grateful to have our Biomat."

" I am a massage therapist and my hands were beginning to hurt when I would do treatments. Sometimes they would also swell up and it would hurt to bend my fingers. The Biomat has changed that. I use the Biomat on my patient and receive healing myself. I am also overweight. The Biomat has reduced my pain, swelling and stress. Can't get much better than that!"
