The gemstone mat: A bed of crystals for healing
Lie on the gemstone mat to experience powerful far-infrared rays that release stress and bring deep heat to relax your muscles and nerves. Far Infrared Rays (FIR) increase blood circulation and bring more oxygen into the cells. These rays are the most healing rays of the light spectrum and can penetrate three to four inches into your body. The gemstone mat also produces negative ions with an advanced negative potential generation system. Negative ions are negatively charged particles found in the air when it rains and is abundant in lush forests, mountains, and ocean beaches, as well as near rivers, springs, and waterfalls.
Unlike the positive protons that excite your system (the ones in the air on a sunny or windy day), negative ions have a magnetic pull toward the earth and a calming, grounding effect on the body. They revitalize cell metabolism, help to alkalinize the body and enhance immune function.
Negative ions relax the body and mind, promote deep sleep, and enhance recovery from physical exhaustion or over-training. They increase the flow of oxygen to the muscles and brain, resulting in higher alertness and better mental energy.
In addition to the negative ions, the gemstone mat gives off Pulsed electromagnetic frequencies (PEMF), which are pulsing magnets that complement one's own body’s frequencies and chemistry, acting like a battery charger for human cells. When the body is ill, your voltage can drop to as low as -30 millivolts or even lower in the cases of terminal diseases. PEMF quickly restores and maintains the human cell potential at a healthy level between, -60 and -95 mV millivolts.
The gemstone mat promotes a feeling of well-being for a healthier mind and body, and also assists in detoxing by increasing circulation in the blood and lymph system. The gemstone mat is approved by the US FDA as a medical device 510K. It was created based on Nobel prize-winning scientific research pioneered by NASA and developed using pure, natural materials.
