Why Everyone Should Expierience A BioMat


 

 I am lucky that where I work there is a BioMat to lay on. Although my days can get hectic,  I look foreword my relaxing hour, laying on the heavenly mat for a while. It is like sitting on a beach; in fact, it has very similar benefits to the beach! Most of you reading this may not have this opportunity, but they can be purchased; or using Google, you may find a place that would let you have a session. At my family business, a session is $1 a minute, not much is it?



   
  The BioMat is filled with amethyst and tourmaline crystals, as seen in the pictures to the right. The part you can see that is filled with the crystals is only a clear window to show you that there are, in fact, real crystals in there. It is filled from left to right with amethyst and tourmaline crystals for maximum healing.

 Amethyst crystals are said to stimulate and soothe the mind and emotions. They are also thought to  improve sleep, circulate the blood, treat inflammation, and hormonal support. For the BioMat, they also help with the far infrared rays.
Tourmaline crystals are said to help protect you from negative energy. It gives you a barrier between you and the negative energy to so you will not pick it up.
Since Amethyst can not hold heat well, The BioMat releases far infrared light, allowing the crystals to emit this form of heat. Far infrared light is invisible to the human eye, to long of a wavelength.  Since this heat is spread efficiently, it goes 6-8 inches into your body, just like the sun! Similar to the sun, this heat can heal the outside as well as the inside of your body.  This is different to a heating pad because the heat spreads to your skin, far infrared light goes well past that. The difference between the far infrared amethyst rays and regular far infrared rays are that the amethyst shorten the rays so you can emotionally handle it. This will have a deeper impact and a more comfortable use.

Far infrared light is the longest of the infrared wavelengths, with near infrared being the shortest.

 

Negative Ions

Another component of the BioMat is the Negative ions that it emits. Negative ions may turn you away because of the "negative" in front of the word. In fact, Negative ions are very important for a healthy balanced lifestyle. Negative ions is where you have more electrons than protons in molecules in the environment. When you take a walk by the beach or forest, you feel a fresh aroma. That is the abundance of negative ions. In that case, the tourmaline crystal comes in play. This crystal has a reputation for emitting negative ions. Without negative ions in your cells, nutrients can not be passes through out your body, in the end, causing pain. This is a huge factor why I have a Himalayan Salt Lamp. They play a huge factor in producing negative ions.

The Mat

There is a button for the temperature and how many hours you want to have it on.  I like to have it two less than the highest temperature it goes, that is where it feels comfortable to most people. This is very simple to use, with just a couple buttons to click. You then get in the mat, lay on your back, and enjoy the benefits!




Here is a good book on the BioMat:

Bentonite Clay Mask



Clay masks are a great outlet for relaxation and detoxification. Bentonite clay, specifically, is the perfect ¨all around¨ clay. I mean you can use this stuff anywhere on your body, internally and externally.  One of my favorite uses with bentonite clay is to help me get perfect soft skin on my face.
 I make a blend every other day, and plaster it on my face. My sister is going to school to become an esthetician, free massages and facials for me hehe, and she recommended doing this every other day.  I tell you not, my skin has never looked clearer or softer in my life! The blackheads and bumps on my face are very minimal and I have only been doing this for a week! 

Bentonite clay draws out toxins from your skin and reduces your pores, reduce scars, prevents acne, prevents blackheads, exfoliates, and evens out your skintone. I mean who doesn't want that? If you put some in your bath you can removes heavy metals that are trapped in your tissues. Bentonite clay has many minerals in it to help you get your daily intake. 

and of course we need a selfie!




 You will want to start off by using a wooden spoon to get the clay, metal spoons don't work well with the minerals. Scoop about a teaspoon of clay and pour it into your bowl.



Add equal amount of water to the clay, if you want a thinner paste you can add more water.
Mix this around until you get the needed paste and now you can begin to plaster it all over your face and don't forget the selfies!


WORDS OF CAUTION

I leave this masks on for about 10-20 minutes. You will want to take this off BEFORE it dries, if you take it off after; 1: it will hurt 2: the toxins will not be taken out of your face.

Remove with an old cloth or paper towel and throw it into the garbage. The clay WILL clog your drain. 

Your face will be red when you are done using it, don't worry about it, it is because of the added blood flow to the face. 

Some people who have bad acne and really sensitive skin can actually have a worsening affect using this, so be sure to try a test run prior.
