We are sharing more about the BioMat and contraindications. (If this important topic interests you, you will also want to read the past three weeks of blog posts, besides this one.)

We recommend anyone with a brain tumor to use the BioMat on low heat only (95-113F).

If you have had heart by-pass surgery, we recommend you use the bio-mat on low heat only (95-113F). As BioMat usage increases blood circulation, this can cause normal blood vessels to expand.

• Some people who have gone through by-pass surgery experience discomfort since their blood vessels can’t expand. Therefore, you need to discern for yourself and with your health provider about BioMat usage.

For newborn babies and infants/toddlers:

• We encourage parents of newborn babies to wait until their baby is at least six months old before using the BioMat. Then, use on low heat only (95-113F) or with only negative ions with adult supervision.
• For infants, use the bio-mat on low heat only (95-113F) with adult supervision. (The most important thing is children may not be aware of something that is too hot for their small, sensitive bodies and/or can’t articulate for the heat to be reduced.)
• Parents of both newborn babies and infants/toddlers should use the BioMat with caution.

So, from this blog post and the previous three posts, you can see the list of health challenges is fairly thorough, however it is not an exhaustive list. Also, from these numerous posts, you can likely ascertain that a “standard” recommendation is to take a conservative approach using low heat and/or only negative ions. The old adage holds true:  a little goes a long ways!

We are always happy to help you discern purchasing and/or usage, but we are not medical professionals and you may wish to consult with your health care provider to determine if the Richway BioMat is right for you and if so, how to use it.
