HEALTH BENEFITS OF THE BIOMAT

Biomats are infrared and negative ion therapy devices. The health benefits of both of these therapies is yet to be fully discovered, but there is a lot we do know.

Far Infrared therapy (FIR) involves the use of Far Infrared rays to gently heal, soothe, stimulate and detox the body, as well as the mind. Far Infrared Rays are invisible waves of energy that have the ability to penetrate all layers of the human body, penetrating into the inner-most regions of the tissues, muscles and bone. Far Infrared Therapy uses these waves, or rays, of energy to slightly elevate the surface temperature of the body. When the internal temperature of our bodies is raised, we can enhance our body’s functioning on multiple levels and increase our immunity by 40%. Our hands, bodies and the sun emit FIR energy at all times. That's why in Ancient China, palm healing was used to transfer these infrared rays from one person to another for centuries.

Infrared therapy may help in fat loss, chronic fatigue, water retention, skin disorders, as well as in the elimination heavy metals, poisons, and carcinogenic material from our bodies. It can also be used to treat cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, neuralgia, arthritis, back pain, migraines, poor circulation and lowered immune systems.

Whenever we process food, and particularly when we have processed unhealthy food or meats, our bodies create lactic acids and free fatty acids, as well as excess sodium and uric acid.Research has found that infrared therapy can help clean the liver and kidneys, instead of overworking the skin in processing our toxins out through our pores.

Far Infrared therapy very gently increases circulation by expanding the capillaries that carry blood. It also increases oxygenation and regeneration of the blood, detoxifying it for the improved functioning of all of the major organs in the body, which depend on blood for energy. This detoxification is deep, allowing hidden toxins in the blood and tissue to be dissolved or immobilized.

What are air ions? In nature, there exists both positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. These molecules have powerful effects on humans, both negatively and positively affecting us. Although common sense would suggest that positive ions would have a positive effect and negative ions a negative effect but the opposite is true. Negative ions, specifically negatively charged oxygen molcules , have been shown to have beneficial effects on human health.

What is a negative ion? A negative ion is a molecule with a negative charge attached to it. Negative ions occur commonly throughout nature and can create an overall sense of mental well-being. Negative ions are found after a rainstorm (falling water creates negative ions) or a lightning strike. Every home has its own built in negative ionizer- the shower. The smell in the air produced after a rainfall is actually the odor of negatively charged ions in the air.

What are positive ions? Positive ions are positively charged molecules and have negative health effects on human health. Studies have shown they inhibit ciliary motility (the cleaning mechanism in our respiratory tract) increasing risk of infection. Positive ions are high in concentrations before a storm when it is windy and in areas that have high outdoor air pollution. Sitting in traffic on a busy highway or freeway is a great place to get a dose of positive ions. What can they do to us? The can leave us fatigued, irritable or even depressed.

What Can Ionization (Negative Ions) do for you?

• Negative ionizers clean the air of dust, molds, bateria, soot, pollen and household odors.
• Air ionizers have been reported to be helpful to people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which causes depression, by regulating hormone levels.
• Air ionizers clean the air of pollen, therefore being helpful for those with hay-fever and other seasonal allergies and ionizers release negative ions, like the Biomat.
• Air ionizers like the Biomat have been reported to help relieve tension and help improve sleep.
• Air ionizers help remove the airborne pollutants below, therefore those with asthma which is triggered by the below pollutants, usually benefit.

Air ionizers can clean the air of airborne contaminants:

• Pollen
• Mold Spores
• Animal Dander
• Viruses
• Bacteria
• Odors
• Second Hand Cigarette smoke

Reported Physiologic Effects of Negative Ions:

• Decreased respiratory rate ( indicating a relaxed state)
• Decreased blood pressure ( not a substitute for medical therapy)
• Produces a feeling of happiness
• Increased ciliary activity (allows our body to clear pollution we breathe in)
• Increased resistance to infection
• Suggested therapy in chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, migraines, insomnia, wound and burn healing, asthma, hayfever, emphysema, bronchitis.. and more

How do you increase your negative ion concentration?

I recommend using negative ionizers, also known as negative ion generators in your home or car. These units are inexpensive to run, don't require monthly filter changes and have numerous health benefits.
