The Richway Amethyst Biomat is an FDA Approved electric pad that uses far infrared light, negative ions, and amethyst crystals in combination to deliver pain relief, detoxify the body, energize cell function, relieve stress, increase circulation, and balance 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 project 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.

The Richway Biomat is approved by the United States FDA as a Class II Medical Device and it's 510K indications are:

Temporary relief of:

Minor muscle pain
Joint pain associated with arthritis
Minor sprains
Muscle spasms
Minor joint pain and stiffness
Minor strains
Minor muscular back pain

Also:

Relaxation of muscles
Temporary increase of local blood circulation where applied (along with increased tissue oxygen).

You may also find that by relaxing your muscles with the Biomat, occasional sleeplessness turns into a 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 a supported immune system.

The Richway Biomat can lie on top of a massage table, mattress, oversized couch, or on the floor. The Mini Biomat version can be used just about anywhere. The Professional Biomat is the lowest-cost full-body size and fits perfectly on a massage table. Richway also has Single, Queen and King bed-sized Biomats.
