Every acupuncture, cupping and Chinese medicine treatment in my office is done on the Amethyst BioMat, and it’s included in every session at no extra cost 🙂 Imagine lying down on a soothing, gently warm mat that relaxes you from the inside out while your treatment does its work. It’s one of the little things that make your hour with me so special.
An FDA-Cleared Medical Device
The BioMat is cleared by the FDA as a medical device for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain, as well as for relaxing the muscles and temporarily increasing circulation where it’s applied.
How Does It Work?
The BioMat combines far infrared light, amethyst quartz and negative ions. Far infrared is the gentle, invisible warmth of light, like the warmth you feel from the sun without the harmful UV rays, and it warms your body deeply and evenly. The warmth travels through layers of amethyst crystals, a beautiful stone that has been treasured for centuries, while the mat also gives off negative ions, the same kind you find near waterfalls and the ocean.

What Will I Feel?
Soothing, even warmth that melts tight muscles, deep relaxation, and a calm, restful feeling. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself so relaxed that you drift off 🙂 Drink plenty of water after your session to help your body make the most of it.
