FIR is considered "Nature's Miracle Light" and has been shown to:

• Reduce pain, stiffness, swelling and inflammation
• Improving lymph flow and the endocrine system.
• Increase blood circulation and strengthens the cardiovascular system.
• Activate healthy molecular vibration with long-lasting, life-sustaining activity by initiating enzyme activity.
• Found to penetrate deeply into the innermost parts of the body, stimulating healing and regenerating of cells, nerves and meridians hidden beneath surface, adipose (fat) and muscle tissue layers.
• Balance pH by decreasing acidity.
• Help remove toxins and detoxifying the body.
• Improve the Immune System
• Reduce Stress and Fatigue
• Improve Skin and Muscle Tone
• Help control Weight & Burns Calories
  
• Reduce Cholesterol
• Normalize Blood Pressure
• To attain a Deep Delta State of Relaxation
  
  

Negative Ions are a major natural element that provides energy to the human body and has been shown to:

• Naturally create a fast-moving electrical particle, which cleanse and purify the air we breathe. They are found in highest amounts in lush nature such as beaches, waterfalls and forests. Negative ions are found in lowest amounts indoors, in polluted areas and traffic areas.
• Deliver a molecular level massage that accelerates and deepens all healing and cleansing processes.
• To be the "Master Power Switch" which activates the body's entire cellular communication system and makes every single body function work better. (Nobel Prize in Medicine 1991 - Reviving the Cell - When the amount of Negative Ions in the blood increases, the function of the cell is activated. Thus increasing nutrient absorption, waste elimination, metabolism and cell function. ) The reverse holds true if there is a lack of negative Ions, and too many positive Ions within a cell. Thus, absorption of nutrition and elimination of waste material cannot be done effectively. As a result diseases happens.
• Alleviate allergies, migraines, and sinus problems.
• Purification of our Blood - Through research done by Dr. Tanaka in Japan, it was discovered that when Negative Ionization is introduced, the Ions in calcium and natruim (salt) in the blood increases, and the blood is purified by increasing blood alkaline.
• Increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy, (Pierce J. Howard, PhD, author of "The Owners Manual for the Brain : Everyday Applications from Mind Brain Research" and director of research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C.)
• To produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy

Far- Infrared Contraindications and Cautions

If you have a disease, be sure to consult with a primary-care physician concerning it.

Prescription Drugs: If you are using prescription drugs, check with your physician or pharmacist for possible changes in the drug's effect due to an interaction with infrared energy. If you are taking corticosteroids, you may experience some redness of the skin. Should you experience redness, we recommend that you discontinue the use until you have completed your medication. Should your redness continue, contact your Health Care Professional.

Certain Ailments: According to some authorities, it is considered inadvisable to raise the core temperature of someone with adrenal suppression, systemic lupus erythematosus, or multiple sclerosis.

Joint Problems: If a person has a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the hot and swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind. Vigorous heating is strictly contraindicated in cases of enclosed infections be they dental, in joints, or in any other tissues.

Pregnancy: In pregnancy or the suspicion of pregnancy, discontinuation of far infrared use is recommended.

Surgical Implants: Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared rays and are not heated by an infrared heat system. Nevertheless, a person should consult his or her surgeon before receiving such therapy. Certainly infrared therapy must be discontinued if a person experiences pain near any implants.

Silicone: Silicone does absorb infrared energy. Implanted silicone or silicone prostheses for nose or ear replacement may be warmed by infrared rays. Since silicone melts at over 200 degrees Celsius, it should not be adversely affected by an infrared heat system, however. It is still advised that a person checks with his or her surgeon to be certain.

Menstruation: Heating of the low-back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. Once a woman is aware that this is occurring, she can choose to allow herself to experience this short-term effect without worry. Or she may simply avoid using an infrared heat source at that time in her cycle. For the majority of women, Far Infrared Energy massage helps to relieve and minimize the physical and emotional discomfort experienced during the pre-menstrual and menstrual period.

Haemorrhage: Haemophiliacs and anyone predisposed to haemorrhage should avoid infrared usage or any type of heating that would induce vasodilatation that can lead to the tendency to bleed. Worsened Condition: Should any condition worsen with the use of an infrared heat system, the use of the system should be discontinued.

Pain: Pain should not be experienced when using an infrared heat system. If one does, the use of radiant heat is clearly inappropriate for the person at that time.

BioMat™ Amethyst is a unique innovation in biotechnology containing 17 different layers and is available in 4 different sizes. (Click Image for Detail)

The BioMat™ uses remote computer freauencies that generate far infrared lightwaves and negative ions. Heat is created through these natural, beneficial lightwaves from vibratory signals, and conducted into the amethyst crystal bed via its high-tech messaging system. This advanced technology works without electric coils, and functions through a state-of-the-art Electromagnetic Wave Interceptor.

Studies have shown that the use of a common electric heating pad may cause carcenogenic cellular activity.

The purple highlighted areas are where the common electric heating pad has made contact on the body as depicted through the Krilian picture.
