We receive lots of questions about the BioMat and different health issues, including using the BioMat if you have M.S. (Multiple Sclerosis).

What we suggest is first to determine the type of M.S. you have and specifically, is it the heat sensitive type of multiple sclerosis? If it is the non-heat sensitive type of M.S., you can enjoy all that the bio-mat offers! But, as a precautionary, we suggest even if you are not showing any M.S. signs or symptoms, use the BioMat on a low temperature setting and slow (meaning short durations), building up both time and temperature. Further, keeping the BioMat on a low setting prevents “flare ups.” Also, napping or resting on the BioMat during and throughout the day will assist in calming and repairing the nervous system, since that is the body system being affected by multiple sclerosis. Sleep on a professional-size BioMat plus use of a Mini in a chair at work or at home on a couch provides continual reinforcement towards healing.

If you do have the heat-sensitive type of M.S., use the BioMat with only the negative ions (no heat), which can be very beneficial for nerves and cellular activity. You may also want to experiment with using only the very lowest heat setting for a very short time period.

Regardless if you have heat-sensitive M.S. or not, be sure to stay hydrated. This is very important as the body releases toxins and the extra fluids will promote proper elimination. Otherwise, you may feel worse.
