The Richway Amethyst Biomat

What Is An Amethyst Biomat?

The Richway Amethyst Biomat is an FDA Approved electric pad that produces far infrared rays, and negative ions, and with the help of amethyst crystals delivers pain relief, detoxifies the body, energizes cell function, relieves stress, increases circulation, and balances the body's energy. It does so via an integrated circuit control panel that also intercepts electromagnetic waves (EMF) made by Texas Instruments. The Biomat uses advanced technology pioneered by Nobel Prize-winning scientists Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann together with discoveries made by NASA.

The far infrared light produced by the Amethyst Biomat penetrates 6-8 inches into the body and warms you from the inside out with infrared heat that causes the body to heal and its health to balance at a faster rate. High-quality amethyst amplifies that infrared light to a specific wavelength that causes the body's cells to vibrate and resonate with their organic frequencies further accelerating healing and stress relief. The Biomat also produces negative ions that speed up cell division and cause the ion channels in the cell membrane to alkalize the cell, causing it to expel toxins and waste. Negative Ions promote better brain function by cleaning the air and providing better focus.

For over 25 years, the Richway Biomat has helped millions of customers find pain relief and relaxation by using far infrared ray technology that was discovered by NASA in the 1960s. Richway was the first company to put that technology into a mat form, making the original Richway Biomat one of a kind. The Biomat is not a heating pad, which provides "contact heat", but instead warms the body from the inside using far infrared light. This provides a tangible warming feeling that is felt throughout the entire body, relaxing it and soothing the mind. The Biomat also produces negative ions that charge the air around it so that the air you are breathing while using it is just like the oxygen you would breathe in the mountains or by the sea, rejuvenating you while you relax.

The Amethyst Biomat 7000mx is the fifth generation of the most effective far infrared heat therapy mat on the market. Each Biomat has natural, high-quality amethyst throughout the entire top layer. Amethyst is the best conductor and emitter of far infrared rays and amplifies the far infrared heat that you receive while laying on the Biomat by 200 times, which projects it up to six inches into the body. While this is happening, negative ions are filling the air around you, helping with focus, relaxation, and better air to breathe. Infrared thermotherapy and negative ion replenishment provide natural pain relief and better health for the human body.

How Can An Amethyst Biomat Help With Health?

The Richway Biomat is approved by the United States FDA as a Class II Medical Device and its 510K indications (what its FDA approved for) are temporary relief of muscle pain, joint pain, joint stiffness, arthritis pain, muscle spasms, sprains and strains, muscular back pain, and body pain. The Biomat also causes the relaxation of muscles and increased circulation.

You may also find that by relaxing your muscles with the Biomat, occasional sleeplessness turns into restful sleep and that your stress and fatigue may be relieved and/or alleviated. You may also find that with increased circulation (where applied) comes reduced inflammation. Improved circulation and raising core body temperature lead to an improved immune system. The Biomat causes a "false fever" during use of the higher temperatures which can also improve the immune system and detoxify the body. The health benefits of an Amethyst Biomat can be life-changing.

The Richway Biomat can lie on top of a massage table, mattress, oversized couch, or on the floor. The Biomat Amethyst Professional is the lowest-cost full-body size and fits perfectly on a massage table. The Biomat Mini is portable, flexible, and great for lying on the couch. The Biomat Amethyst King and Queen sizes are awesome for king and queen-size beds and allow your partner to control their side of the mat. We also offer the Biomat Amethyst Single which is meant for single-size beds.

Heating Pad vs The Biomat

These are actual infrared photos of the results of using a heating pad (left) vs a Biomat (right). The heating pad was used for ten minutes and, as you can see, there is very little penetration. Conventional heating pads provide a "contact" heat, much like laying on cement on a hot summer day. Does it feel good? Yes. Is it doing anything for your health? Not much. The warmth eventually does penetrate a bit and help with pain, but not like the Biomat, which warms the user from the inside. Infrared heat is not contact heat in that the first thing a Biomat does is heat amethyst stones which produce far infrared rays that penetrate six to eight inches into the body, providing better pain relief faster. See a complete comparison between heating pads and the Biomat on our Biomat vs Heating Pad page.

Improve Circulation with the Amethyst Biomat

Richway Biomats have been proven by the FDA to improve local circulation where applied. The picture on the left shows a person with poor circulation. The picture on the right is the same person after 14 days of using a Biomat. The infrared heat from a Biomat warms the skin and body tissues, increasing circulation, which improves the immune system. The circulatory system is the health highway of the body. When the "traffic" is flowing, everything performs properly but when it's blocked or slowed, primary organs and tissues suffer. You can learn more about how the Biomat increases circulation and tissue oxygen and all of the other health benefits of infrared thermotherapy by understanding Far Infrared Rays (FIR)

Who Benefits from the Richway Biomat?

The simple and true answer to who benefits from a Biomat is just about everyone. Even if you are perfectly healthy and you raise your body temperature and increase blood circulation, you are doing what you can to prevent problems from arising in the first place. Richway Biomats are excellent preventative healthcare devices. Back, joint, and muscle pain are easier to manage with the Biomat.

People Who Would Benefit From An Amethyst Biomat

Healthcare Professionals - Doctors, nurses, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, Raike instructors, holistic healers - just about any type of healer can benefit from introducing Amethyst Biomats into their practice. Biomats make a great value-added service for any health business.

Active or Retired Military - The rigorous training and hard work that our service people must endure to do their jobs makes them perfect candidates. Thermotherapy can help with stress, anxiety, muscle and joint pain, back pain, expedited healing, and depression.

Athletes - Professional and amateur athletes alike push their bodies to the limits and recovery time is essential. However, that time may be shortened by using an Amethyst Biomat after training.

Negative Ion Therapy

Richway Biomats produce negative ion therapy. Negative ions are nature's air purifiers. The more there is in the air you breathe, the healthier the oxygen you are consuming. Clean air is vital to healing and leads to sharper focus, puts you into a better mood, and is the best anti-oxidant that Mother Nature has to offer. Negative ion therapy can change your health at the cellular level. Learn more about negative ions and how they are created and impact your health.
