What is a crystal Bio Mat?
Our crystal bio-mat combines hot stone therapy, far infrared therapy and negative ion therapy. Specifically, our mat has:
12 lbs of natural amethyst gemstones
2 lbs tourmaline ceramic gemstones
2 lbs natural jade gemstones
Tension and Muscle Relaxing Hot Stone Therapy

Deep Penetrating Far Infrared Rays Therapy, at a range of least 5-14 um (4-6 inch penetration into body)
What specific conditions and symptoms can a crystal bio mat treat?
Because the far infrared rays penetrate deeply into the body and promotes our natural state of health and balance, it can be used to treat a wide range of health issues. The FDA’s Medical Device 510K indications for use are:
Relaxation of muscles,
Increase of local circulation where applied
and 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
Other benefits found from the BioMat:
Reduces stress and fatigue
Soothes and relaxes
Supports the immune system
Improved sleep (if associated with pain relief)
Reduced inflammation (where applied)
Promotes relaxation by application of heat
Promotes restful sleep for those with occasional sleeplessness
What are far infrared rays and how do they help?
Far infrared rays are part of the electro-magnetic light spectrum and are close to the light frequency of natural sunlight. However, far infrared does not contain any of sunlight’s harmful UV/UVB radiation. The effectiveness of light therapy has been acknowledged by the mainstream medical profession for some time now. Laser light has been used to tone and rejuvenate skin and reduce fine lines. The beneficial properties of far infrared light have received particular attention from the scientific community in recent years, although the first research conducted on this part of the light spectrum was undertaken by NASA decades ago. Today, health practitioners from a wide range of disciplines agree on the beneficial properties of far infrared technology.
FIR Temporarily Alleviates Minor Muscle and Joint Pain
The most common use of far infrared ray therapy is to assist the body in temporarily relieving minor muscle and joint pain. FIR slightly increases the temperature of the surface level of your body. This may help to deliver more oxygen to the places and areas of the body that require the most attention to maximize your wellness levels. This therapy is particularly beneficial for people that suffer from Arthritis, lower back pain, or even just your everyday aches. Far infrared rays are more effective for pain relief than traditional heating pads because their rays penetrate 4-6 inches below the surface level of the skin.
FIR May Help Detoxify Your Body
Far infrared rays function very successfully when it comes to natural detoxification. They can help the body reduce water retention, and eliminate metals. As a result of better wellness, people often see a reduction in fatigue and an improvement in their focus and energy levels. These toxins cannot be expelled instantly, so they accumulate in our bodies, encapsulated in water molecules. These trapped toxins lead to blocked blood circulation, impaired cellular energy, and illness. When we are exposed to FIR waves, the molecules trapping toxins inside us vibrate and break apart, and are expelled through excessive sweating caused by FIR heat therapy. FIR is a safe and effective way to detoxify and is considered seven times more effective than steam saunas or conventional heat. (1)
FIR Helps Reduce Minor Pain and Stiffness
There are multiple ways to receive FIR treatment that revolve around improving your general quality of life. The two most common are infrared saunas and infrared mats. Saunas are great for assisting in the management of symptoms of joint pain and inflammation. FIR saunas also have a secondary function of helping your body sweat out all the “bad stuff.” Recent studies published in Clinical Rheumatology found that infrared saunas can reduce muscular pain and stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis patients. While infrared saunas are not easily accessible for many people, FIR mats provide temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness (especially pain associated with arthritis), the temporary relief of muscle spasms and sprains, and the temporary increase of local circulation where applied. Mats are best used on a bed and can even be used by trapping the heat with a mylar blanket and create your own personal sauna experience. (2)
FIR Helps Relieve Minor Back Pain Symptoms
Muscular back pain relief is one of the most exciting FIR therapy research areas. If you suffer from chronic lower back pain, you know that most treatment options are risky and require long-term recovery periods. However, FIR mats have been shown in studies to provide temporary minor pain relief in the lower back when applied daily. FIR therapy is a drug-free, surgery-free option to manage some of the symptoms associated with chronic muscular back pain. (3)
FIR May Help Alleviate Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue
FIR can help provide comfort and improve quality of life for those living with chronic fatigue syndrome. If you are searching for answers to your struggle with CFS, FIR therapy may be beneficial for multiple symptoms affecting you. Research indicates that consistent daily thermal therapy (including FIR therapy) has promising benefits for CFS patients. FIR therapy can support your efforts to improve your energy levels, maximize your comfort, and minimize minor aches and pains associated with CFS. (4)
FIR Improves Overall Wellness
Anyone seeking a non-pharmaceutical solution for boosting mood and reducing symptoms of chronic pain should consider FIR therapy. Thermal therapy has been used for years as a drug-free treatment for chronic pain patients. Researchers at Japan’s Nishi Kyusyu University discovered that infrared sauna heat therapy can have a significant impact on chronic pain sufferers’ overall well-being and ability to function. Whether you are suffering from pain or overall sickness, FIR therapy can help restore your wellness levels and live more comfortably. (5)

What are negative ions and why are they important?
An ion is a particle containing an electrical charge. An ion with a negative electrical charge is called a negative ion, and this type of ion is now considered to be integral to healthy cellular function.
“Modern man-made environments have become chronic generators of potentially harmful positive ions. Air conditioners, fluorescent lights, computers, televisions, cell phones, printers, microwave ovens and hair dryers are all potent positive ion generators. Over-exposure to positive ions affects our magnetic field and affect our health and moods in a variety of ways including increased stress, depression, insomnia, and fatigue.
Negatively charged ions are the opposite of positive ions and they have the opposite effect on health, mood and energy levels than positive ions. They neutralize free radicals, revitalize cells, enhance the immune system, purify the blood, and promote deep restful sleep. While the air you breathe in your home or office building may contain just a few hundred and polluted urban areas have even less, natural aquatic environments such as the ocean and waterfalls may contain tens of thousands of negative ions.” (1)
