Far infrared Biomat & BioAcoustic Mat

Unlike an electric blanket which uses electric coils to create heat, the Biomat uses a combination of fabrics and Amethyst stones to generate far infrared rays which is then transferred to the body as heat. The heat comes from friction generated within the body through the effects of far infrared rays. Far infrared rays warm the inside of your body and the part of your body making contact with the Biomat.

Should the temperature of any part of the Biomat exceed the set temperature, the thermal sensors distributed throughout the Biomat will cut off the electric current. When the Biomat reaches the selected temperature, the negative ion lights will come on and will stay on until the Biomat needs to raise the temperature. The Biomat comes with an external control box which allows you to adjust the desired temperature and usage time (between 2, 4, 8, or 12 hours). As an added safety feature, when the controller is set to 122°F or higher,it will automatically step down to 113°F after 4 hours.

What does the Biomat EMF Interceptor Do?
The Biomat EMF Interceptor acts in the same way as a lightning rod by safely conducting the EMF energy away to the ground. With this feature, you can effectively reduce exposure to EMF for yourself and your family.

Benefits of the Biomat
Temporary relief of:
– Minor muscle pain
– Minor joint pain and stiffness
– Joint pain associated with arthritis
– Muscle spasms
– Minor sprains
– Minor strains
– Minor muscular back pain
– Relaxation of muscles
– Temporary increase of local circulation

What is Thermotherapy?
Thermotherapy is the therapeutic application of any substance to the body that adds heat to the body resulting in increased tissue temperature.(1)
Thermotherapy also increases blood flow which facilitates tissue healing by supplying protein, nutrients, and oxygen at the site of injury. Studies have shown that a 1°C increase in tissue temperature is associated with a 10% to 15% increase in local tissue metabolism.(2) The increase in tissue metabolism assists in the healing process by removing the metabolic by-products of tissue damage and provides the environment for tissue repair.

Why Use Infrared?
The circulatory system is responsible for the delivery of oxygen-rich blood and the removal of wastes.(3) Far infrared rays have been found to have a blood circulation enhancing effect in human skin and eventually induces an increase in temperature of the body tissues.(5)

Increase in Body Temperature
Studies have indicated that during thermotherapy, or hyperthermia, the body is exposed to higher temperatures which causes a significant increase in skin microcirculation, skin temperature and core temperature.(5) Inducing an artificial fever can provide benefits to your immune system as a type of immune cell, or lymphocyte, called a CD8 cytotoxic T-cell, helps destroy infected cells.(6)

Heat Shock Proteins
Heat shock proteins (HSPs), or stress proteins, are present in all organisms and all cells of all organisms.(7) Published studies have shown that exposures to environmental stress, such as heat shock, induces the body to produce HSPs that function as molecular chaperones. Molecular chaperones are a type of protein that assists in the proper folding of proteins and quality control. (8) Improper folding of proteins and damaged proteins have been reported to be the cause of a large number of diseases.(9)

Far Infrared & Circulation
Far infrared rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum that has been studied for various health benefits. It provides warmth and relaxation similar to the energy that radiates from the sun. These rays not only benefit muscles on the surface of the body, but all cells and bodily tissues in the deepest parts of the body. The warm stimulating waves temporarily increase local circulation. This deep tissue heating relaxes the muscles and tissues surrounding the joints relieving pain and discomfort.

Negative Ions
Negative ions, or anions, are atoms that have a greater number of electrons (-) than protons ( ), which result in a negative charge. They are abundant in natural environments such as forests, mountains, waterfalls and oceans. In a 2013 report on the effects on negative ions, studies were discussed about the positive effects of negative ions on physiological functions and human health.(10)

BioAcoustic Mat™

Better Sleep, Better Health, Better Life

A new approach to wellness with vibroacoustic sound.

The BioAcoustic Mat™ is a revolutionary vibroacoustic therapy device made by Richway & Fuji Bio, makers of the world-renowned Biomat

Years of scientific research has shown that specific low frequency sound pulsations and beautiful brainwave entraining music have powerful therapeutic effects on our health and well-being. The practical applications of sound being used in treatments have been present in cultures throughout our history. Early cultures such as the Aborigines, a tribal group from Australia, have used sound to heal the ill. They would use a yidaki, a musical instrument in which blown air would create very low vibrations.

The BioAcoustic Mat™ employs a powerful low frequency sound generator that delivers a deep acoustic massage for joints and tissues. The music pieces on the BioAcoustic Mat™ apply the low frequencies of 30-68 Hz to massage large muscles and the higher 52-88 Hz level for smaller muscles.

Dr. Lee Bartel, the world’s foremost authority on vibroacoustic therapy’s research has shown scientifically developed sounds will relax and renew your body naturally. The high-fidelity upper speakers add another dimension of sound therapy to the BioAcoustic Mat™. The beautiful music on these upper speakers have been designed to provide a calming sense of well-being.

Drawing on years of experience, Dr. Bartel has created tracks that get you ready for sleep by stimulating deep sleep delta brainwaves, helps you relax by stimulating alpha brainwaves, or helps you get energized and solve problems by stimulating your theta brainwaves.

Imagine sleeping on a bed of crystals…

The BioMat produces soothing Far Infrared rays and negative ions, delivering a wealth of health benefits. Unlike an electric blanket which uses electric coils to create heat, the Biomat uses a combination of fabrics and amethyst stones to generate far infrared rays which are then transferred to the body as heat. The heat comes from friction generated within the body through the effects of far infrared rays. Far infrared rays warm the inside of your body and the part of your body making contact with the Biomat.

  I use the BioMat at home (when it is my turn) on both the office chair and the bed. Once you start using it you won’t stop.

  For the past two years I’ve watched this product being used by practitioners and patients for a variety of health problems and the results are quite spectacular. Every practitioner should have one of these on their treatment table. I can’t recommend it enough.
