This blog post will discuss more health benefits of the BioMat. Last week, we discussed pain relief, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Today, we will focus on eliminating toxins and the benefits of using heat vs. cold.

First, let’s talk about how bio-mats are helpful with toxin elimination:

• Amethyst is an important element in all BioMat products and it is long known for ridding toxins. This is one of amethyst’s key contributions to your health and why the BioMat eliminates toxins so efficiently.
• Also, if/when you do a high-temp thermo-therapy session (using the BioMat on its highest setting), you can sweat profusely and this can be powerful way to detox. It is a self-induced sweating session that is helpful for you to eliminate anything in your body that no longer serves you.
  • It is important to drink lots of water before and after using the BioMat, but especially true for a high-temp thermo-therapy session.
• With any detoxification sessions, you don’t want to boost the heat too much and/or lay on the mat too long as this may cause you to feel nauseous, queasy or dizzy. (While this probably won’t hurt you, it doesn’t feel comfortable and there’s no need.) Please consider taking a “slow and low” approach, building up time and temperature.

Next, we’ll mention using the BioMat’s heat vs. cold therapy:

• You may want to seek medical advice before using the far infrared heat of the Richway BioMat.
• Medical professionals and physical therapists will be able to assess your individual situation, as well as recommend whether or not heat is best or if ice/cold therapy would be more appropriate.
• That said, the benefits of far infrared heat are it feels great (!), plus it opens up the body’s circulation. As it opens up the blood flow, this can also be helpful with detoxification (discussed above).

We hope you find this information helpful and please let us know if you have further questions.
