Me and My BioMat

If you’ve ever dipped your toe into the woo woo pool then you’ve definitely heard praises for the BioMat and all its healing, magical properties. It appears to be the tool du jour of all the most popular and well-respected healers and practitioners in the wellness world.  Although, with an upwards of up to $2200 price tag it’s almost like the Prada bag of healing tools. However, while I am a huge fan of designer bags, they don’t purport to do the following:

• Reduce stress, anxiety, body aches and pains.

• Flush toxins from the lungs and lymphatic system

• Increase energy and metabolism while burning calories.

• Improve circulation, muscle recovery, and sleep.

• Rejuvenate DNA and oxygenate the blood.

• Support the overall health of the central nervous & immune systems

Chic designer bag or feeling like a superwoman? Easy choice. Well… maybe we can have both. 

What is a BioMat?

The BioMat is an FDA-licensed medical device that combines state-of-the-art far infrared light (FIR) and negative ion technology with the healing power of amethyst and quartz crystals. The BioMat’s unique medical and therapeutic properties are based on Nobel prize-winning research into ionic channels and the same infrared technology that NASA identified as the safest and most beneficial type of light wave.

While resting on the BioMat you are receiving a molecular level massage which works to increase blood and lymph circulation, maximize enzyme activity and detoxification and decrease acidity for a more beneficial pH balance in the body.  In addition to alleviating issues due to chronic illness and autoimmune issues the BioMat is used by many to provide relief for muscle spasms and aches, joint pain and stiffness, strains and sprains, and muscular back pain. 

Far Infrared Light (FIR)

The wavelength in far infrared light is longer and therefore cannot be detected visually.  As a result, it is often called nature’s invisible light.  With a longer wavelength, the light can penetrate deeper and transfer heat more efficiently. Traditionally, we've gotten our daily dose of (FIR) from sunlight, which is composed of all the energy wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.  These far-infrared light waves heat your body directly without the need to heat the air around you. FIR light can transfer energy purely in the form of heat and reach deeper layers of body tissue making it the light of choice for bodily therapy. NASA discovered how to generate (FIR) in the 1960s to keep astronauts healthy in space. Think of how close you can get to being an astronaut without having to go to space camp or through all of that complicated schooling.

Negative Ions

The BioMat produces negative ions which activate the body’s cellular communication system and stimulate the healing regeneration of the nerves and muscle tissue layers. Negative ions are air molecules that have an extra electron hence the negative charge. They are abundant near large sources of moving water such as oceans and waterfalls. Negative ions have a positive effect on people. Positive ions have a negative effect on people.  Doesn’t make the most sense logically but what does make sense is how good most of us feel so alive near large bodies of water. With negative ionization, cell membrane activity optimizes resulting in the elimination of acidic waste material and toxins thus creating a more alkaline body. Why is that important? Disease cannot live or thrive in an alkaline environment. Negative ions give our bodies a natural detox and energetic reboot. 

Amethyst

FIR are transferred through amethyst quartz channels which cover the entire BioMat’s surface. Amethyst quartz is nature’s superconductor and has been shown to offer the steadiest, most powerful delivery of healthy far infrared light waves. Amethyst has prolific healing powers that can be characterized as purifying, pacifying, and detoxifying.  Amethyst has also been deemed as nature's tranquilizer because of its effectiveness in relaxing not only the mind but also the nervous system. Through numerous scientific experiments, amethyst was found to be the only substance that clearly changed the spectrum of infrared light. The addition of amethyst in the BioMat allows for a greater increase in the utilization of the beneficial far infrared light by the human organism.

What was my experience with my new BioMat?

Ever since purchasing mine a few months back, I’ve been using the BioMat during meditation, stretching, sleeping, or really anytime I feel like lying on it. I find that it provides a warm, soothing environment to facilitate improved mental peace, serenity and facilitates grounding. There is a definite sense of calmness and of slowing down whenever I spend time on it. It takes some time getting used to sleeping on it as it is quite rigid but once you get over that hump sleep quality improves as well. For someone who often has trouble falling asleep, I find the BioMat peacefully knocks me out.

The physical benefits stand out just as much as the mental ones. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in leg pains and aches that I’d developed as a result of decreased mobility from spending 2020 mostly quarantined.  Out of the many lessons learned during pandemic is that we, as humans, are not meant to spend all of our time sitting at home. A friend of mine also advised me to lay on the mat with my feet up on the wall to aid in digestion. I found this to be true for me as well and that I did not feel as sluggish after meals.  

The controller allows you to set it to your preference for heat and time. I keep mine on the lowest heat as I am hot by nature and find myself focused too much on the heat when set higher. One thing I would advise is to make sure you have the space for it to remain for easy access. I have the professional size and find it to be quite heavy and bulky. After several attempts to take out and put away the BioMat after each use, I gave up and gave it a permanent home on my bed. Not the sexiest look but at least I feel grounded. 

Overall I’m very happy with the investment I made in purchasing the BioMat. It’s been beneficial for my mind and body at a time when both need some extra special attention. I find myself looking forward to using it daily and it has become my zen spot. Since I’ve given my body and mind so much additional loving care by investing in and using my BioMat I’m hoping my next investment will be that designer bag. Feeling great and looking great…who can ask for more?
