When you are beginning to use your BioMat, we suggest the mantra – Slow and Low!
Bio-mats are a potent healing tool and one of the temptations, especially in the beginning, is to over-use it. That is why we take a conservative approach in the beginning:
- Use the professional-size BioMat for 20-30 minutes on low to medium heat. Then, build in 5-10 minute increments per day. By the end of Week 1, you will be able to use it 1-2 hours, increasing the heat, as desired.
- For the Mini BioMat, start with 30-45 minutes on medium heat and build in 10-15 minute increments.
If you over-use (and do not take this advice!), you may feel nauseous, head-achey, or dizzy, etc. While this will not hurt you, there is no need if you take the above recommended approach of slow and low.
Another important thing to remember is to drink water, specifically we suggest drinking at least one glass of water before you use the Richway BioMat and be sure to drink another glass of water after you complete your session. This does two things: 1) helps eliminate toxins from your body, and 2) avoids getting dehydrated (which can make you feel nauseous). By drinking water and using the BioMat, you may also observe bodily changes in your sweat, urination and bowel movements. Here are two examples:
- A nurse put herself through nursing school by cleaning houses. Softscrub was the chosen cleaning solution. When she started using the BioMat, her whole body reeked with the smell of Softscrub … and her cleaning jobs happened 15 years earlier! She was releasing these impurities from her body that had been stored in the cells for many years. From a health perspective, isn’t it great to get these toxins out of the body?!
- A dental hygienist commented that her bowel movements were orange when she first started using the BioMat. She was eliminating chemicals and impurities that she held in her body from her work environment in the dentists’ offices of 40 years. Releasing these toxins is so critical to overall health, vitality and wellness.
