How it Works

The Richway Biomat 3000MX utilizes a unique combination of far infrared light, negative ion technology, and amethyst crystal to promote healing and wellness.

  1. Far Infrared Light: The Biomat emits far infrared light, which penetrates deep into the body's tissues, promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and enhancing detoxification. This gentle yet powerful heat therapy helps to soothe sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote overall healing.
  2. Negative Ion Technology: Integrated negative ion technology releases ions that help neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance the body's natural detoxification processes. Negative ions have been shown to promote a sense of well-being, improve mood, and support immune function.
  3. Amethyst Crystal: The Biomat's surface is lined with layers of amethyst crystal, which emit far infrared rays and negative ions when heated. Amethyst has long been revered for its healing properties and is believed to promote relaxation, balance energy flow, and enhance mental clarity.

Together, these elements create a synergistic effect that promotes deep relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief, and overall rejuvenation of mind and body.

FAQs

What are the benefits of BioMat?

The Richway Biomat is an FDA approved medical device that helps with circulation, lymphatic drainage, and pain relief. The Biomat is perfect for anyone. The Biomat 7000MX has far infrared technology and amethyst crystals that deliver deep-healing heat energy. Regular Biomat sessions will be helpful in removing acidic waste that gets accumulated within your body. Getting rid of the toxins can help rid your body of yeast, mold, fungus, and potentially viruses.

What are Far Infrared Rays?

Of all the energy from the sun, around 80% is given off in the form of infra-red radiation. There are three parts to this: near infrared, middle-infrared and far infrared. Studies have found that the wavelengths from 5 to 14 microns are especially good for living things, and are defined by NASA as “bio-energetic rays.” Due to their apparent health benefits, far infrared rays are continuing to receive extensive attention for research around the world.

Far infrared is commonly used for a variety of purposes. Premature babies are naturally kept warm by the heat, and restaurants use infrared lamps to keep orders hot. Physical therapists regularly treat soft tissues with far-infrared rays.

Infrared waves are not visible to the naked eye, however many other animals such as owls and reptiles have eyes with photoreceptors for detecting warm–blooded prey at night.

Near, mid, and far infrared frequencies have been used in laser technology for some time now; more recently medicine has started using this type of delivery through LED photodynamic therapy to treat brain tumors.

What are the benefits of Far Infrared Rays?

Therapeutic benefits of far infrared energy are well supported by research.

  • Promotes blood and lymph microvascular circulation.
  • Useful for various purposes, the Biomat works to increase enzyme activity and circulation.
  • Supports and facilitates cardiovascular and lymphatic systems
  • The Biomat comforts your muscles, lengthens your soft tissues and encourages flexibility
  • Eases feelings of pain and discomfort
  • Assist with chronic inflammation and edema
  • Removes toxins and waste products from the skin
  • Promotes collagen and elastin production in the basal cell layer.
  • Improves fibroblast functions for connective tissue repair
  • Improves cellular function and can support weight-loss and detoxification
  • Encourages immune system function
  • Restores important vital functions that your body would normally perform on its own
  • Eases symptoms of stress and fatigue
  • Biomat stimulates energy, relaxation and self-healing

How long should I lay on a BioMat?

If you use the Biomat for a few minutes, you will feel better right away. It is best to use it for a minimum of 30-60 minutes to get deep relaxation that helps with healing and detoxification. Use your Biomat as often or as long as you wish and find comfortable.

Here at The Inner Light Spa, we offer 30 min and 60min sessions. Longer times may be accommodated upon request! Send us an email, let's chat!

Is too much exposure to Infrared energy possible?

Tissues take in only what they need for optimum healing and wellness while the rest passes through. Infrared is entirely safe in any amount.

How deep does Infrared penetrate? And can I wear clothes while on the mat?

The combination of Far Infrared Rays (FIR) and Negative Ions penetrates 6-8 inches into your body delivering an energetic cellular massage and increased cellular communication and detoxification.

Wearing clothes will not impact the effectiveness of the technologies, however we do recommend if possible to wear natural fiber clothes like cotton or linen especially if using the device at higher temperatures. Natural fibers allow better airflow and moisture absorption, preventing excessive sweating and enhancing comfort during the treatment session.

Is a BioMat better than an infrared sauna?

Infrared saunas may induce sweating as well, but the Biomat's targeted heat therapy enhances the detoxification process a lot deeper into the body, detoxifying internal organs at a cellular level that infrared saunas can't reach. The Orange settings on the Biomat controller are for a sauna-like experience.

Some Precautions and Considerations

Biomat contraindications and cautions
Always remain hydrated while using the Richway Biomat. Children and pets should use Blue or Green settings only.  Infants should not use the Biomat as they have a tendency to hold a higher temperature.

Biomat contraindications:

Organ transplants: Do not use Biomat.  The Biomat can increase immune response.  New organs can be mistaken by the immune system as foreign and attack them.

External pacemaker: Do not use the Biomat.

Renal or kidney failure: Do not use the Biomat as it increases circulation and could overwhelm the kidneys.

Use with caution and consult with doctor if you think you are exempt from the following:

Heat sensitive MS: Negative ions only, no heat settings.  People with MS who are NOT sensitive to heat may use the Biomat.

Fever: Until your fever is over, only use negative ions.

Radiation therapy/chemotherapy: anyone who has received chemotherapy or radiation treatments recently should only use negative ions.  Consult with your doctor before using heat settings.

Bypass surgery: anyone who has undergone bypass surgery should only use the Biomat on low heat (95F-113F). Increased circulation can require blood vessels to expand and this can cause discomfort to those whose blood vessels can't expand.

Internal pacemaker: anyone who uses a pacemaker should only use the BioMat on low heat (95F-113F). The increase in blood circulation can throw an internal pacemaker off of it's set rythm.

Brain tumor: anyone with a brain tumor should only use the Biomat on low heat (95F-113F).

Diabetes: anyone with diabetes should only use the Biomat on low heat (95F-113F). 

High blood pressure (hypertension): anyone with chronically high blood pressure (hypertension) should use the Biomat with caution and only on low heat (95F-113F). Changes in blood circulation should be monitored by your doctor.

Newborn babies: Do not use the Biomat until child is six months old and then only on low heat only (95F-113F)

Young children: we recommend that children only use the Biomat on low heat only (95F-113F) and with adult supervision. 

Pregnancy: pregant women should only use the Biomat on low to medium heat (95F-131F).

Surgical implants: those with ANY kind of implant can use the Biomat. Surgical implants generally reflect infrared rays and do not get hot because of an infrared heat device.  If you do feel discomfort, consult your doctor.

Silicon: silicon implants may be warmed by infrared rays. Silicon is known to melt at over 200 degrees Celsius / 392 Fahrenheit, so it should not be adversely affected by infrared rays. It is advised that you consult your surgeon before use.

Pain: The Biomat should never cause pain, but if you are experiencing any pain while using it, consult a doctor.

This information should not replace advice from your primary care physician. These are just guidelines for contraindications and not a complete list of conditions and contraindications.

If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.

General cautions for far infrared therapies:

Prescription drugs: if you are using prescription drugs, check with your doctor for possible changes in the drug’s efficacy due to taking them while using an infrared medical device. If you are taking corticosteroids, redness of the skin can occur. If you experience redness, we recommend that you stop the use of the Biomat until you have finished your medication. Should your redness continue, contact your doctor. Most times, infrared therapy enhances the desired (good) effects of medications, but always ask your doctor to make sure.

Joint injuries: Do not use a Biomat if you have had a recent, acute joint injury for at least 48 hours or until swelling is down.  Heat of any kind is not good for a swollen joint.  However, after the joint swelling goes down, the Biomat should help speed the healing process. 

Infections: Any type of internal infection, whether it be dental, joint or tissue-related, should not  undergo rigorous heating and is strictly contraindicated.  Do not use a Biomat if you have an internal infection.  Wait until the infection is resolved.

Hemorrhage: vasodilatation that can lead to the tendency to bleed can happen with those that have hemophilia or are pre-disposed to hemorrhage with ANY type of heating so do not use the Biomat.
