In the office, we have a Biomat on the adjusting table for relaxation during treatments. This mat combines far infrared rays (FIR) and negative ions along with the healing benefits of amethyst and tourmaline crystals.
FIR are closely related to the rays of sunshine without the UVA/UVB radiation. They increase circulation within the lymph and blood vessels. This can help relieve pain and stiffness in all areas of the body.
Negative ions are another health benefit from the biomat. They are found in nature from moving water and air along with sunlight. Negative ions are what makes being near a waterfall or taking a walk in nature so energizing. The biomat emits these healthy negative ions with or without the heat portion turned on.
Amethyst crystals are found in alternating rows along with tourmaline in the mini biomat. Amethyst is a highly conductive crystal and can help penetrate the far-infrared rays approximately 6 inches into the body. Amethyst crystals have numerous healing benefits including quieting the mind, helping sleep and promoting a more open grounded feeling within.
The tourmaline crystals have a strong calming and protective effect on the nervous system. The alternating rows of tourmaline with amethyst have shown to keep the heat equally distributed throughout the entire area of the mat.
The biomat directly affects the body’s ability to unwind deep stress in the musculoskeletal system by increasing overall microcirculation at a cellular level. This increases detoxification which decreases inflammation as it also increases the nutrients into the tissue. Because of these benefits, the biomat integrates well with chiropractic care to bring the body into a greater state of balance.
Many patients have decided to purchase a biomat for themselves at home. Individuals have reported better sleep, deeper relaxation, less anxiety, decreased pain and increased mobility after resting sessions on the mat. Some people even use them for deeper meditation sessions.
