We are happy to report there are few contraindications for the BioMat. Nevertheless, it is important that we share the contraindications that do exist (people who are recommended not to use the bio-mats).

[This blog article is only for the purpose of information. It does not replace medical advice that each individual should obtain before using a new product/healing tool such as the BioMat. This post is only a guideline and may be a partial list. Be sure to consult your medical doctor or healthcare professional to ascertain what is appropriate for your health and addresses your personal needs. While the professional-size BioMat has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this blog post has not been FDA evaluated.]

These people should not use the BioMat:

  • People who have had any organ transplant within at least two years of the date of transplantation. (The risk is the BioMat could “detox” or reject the new organ that was transplanted.)
  • Kidney or renal failure. (By opening the blood circulation and flow, the BioMat may end up pushing increased blood flow through the kidneys. This taxes the already-compromised or weak kidneys.)
  • Pacemakers that are external. (People with external pacemakers are usually hospitalized and likely would not have BioMat access.) Also note: people with internal pacemakers may use the BioMat without any issues.
  • Babies up to six months old. (Use the BioMat on negative ions only or on the lowest two temperature settings AFTER a newborn baby reaches at least six months.)
  • Multiple sclerosis (M.S.) that is heat sensitive should avoid the BioMat, however, non-heat sensitive M.S. is OK to use it.
  • We frequently get the question about the BioMat and pregnancy. If you use the BioMat before you become pregnant, your body has already adjusted to the mat and it is OK to continue usage. However, if you become pregnant and have not used it before, it is optimal to wait until after you have delivered your baby before using it.
