Amethyst Biomat: A Proven Solution for Chronic Low Back Pain

Introduction

Chronic low back pain is a prevalent condition that affects a significant portion of the population. Finding effective treatments for this condition is crucial for improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from this debilitating pain. In recent years, infrared heat therapy has gained attention as a potential solution. This blog post will explore the benefits of using the Amethyst Biomat, which produces the same wavelength of far infrared rays used in a randomized, controlled trial conducted on chronic low back pain patients.

The Study

The study, titled "Infrared therapy for chronic low back pain: A randomized, controlled trial," aimed to assess the efficacy of applying infrared (IR) heat to the lower back in patients with chronic, intractable low back pain. The study involved 39 participants who were randomly assigned to either receive IR therapy or placebo treatment. The infrared heat therapy was provided using portable units powered by small, rechargeable batteries. The results showed that the IR therapy group experienced a progressive decline in pain levels, with a significant reduction in pain compared to the placebo group.  In fact, the study says, "The IR therapy group showed a progressive decline in pain levels of approximately 50%, which was greater toward the end of the seven-week study period."

The Amethyst Biomat

The Amethyst Biomat is an innovative therapeutic device that utilizes far infrared rays, negative ions, and amethyst crystals to provide pain relief and enhance overall well-being. It generates far infrared rays with the same wavelength as the IR therapy used in the aforementioned study. The Biomat's technology allows for deep penetration of these rays from the electromagnetic spectrum into the body, targeting the source of pain and promoting quicker healing.

Amethyst Biomat vs Heating Pad

The application of heat can differ.  Heating pads produce conductive heat.  This means that when it touches your skin, it transfers that heat to your skin.  There is little or no penetration involved with conductive heat.  The application of infrared light produces radiant heat and so it penetrates the body 6-8 inches, warming you from the inside out.  Radiant infrared heat is much more therapeutic than conductive heat.  Both feel good, but only infrared heat actually heals and this is because the heat transfer is radiant, not conductive. Will a heating pad help a sore back? Yes, most likely it will make your back feel less pain but not 50% less as proven in this study with infrared heat.  More importantly, a heating pad cannot help heal your back, but a Biomat can. A heating pad is not going to help you with chronic pain, it can only help with pain in the moment.  But infrared heat can help with pain in the moment and pain down the road. The healing properties of an infrared heating pad outweigh the temporary relief of a heating pad.

FDA-Approved

The Richway Biomat has received approval from the United States FDA as a Class II Medical Device. Its 510K indications, or FDA-approved uses, include providing temporary relief for a variety of conditions such as minor muscle pain, joint pain, joint stiffness, arthritis pain, muscle spasms, sprains and strains, muscular back pain, and overall body pain. Additionally, the Biomat is also approved for the relaxation of muscles and increasing circulation.

How the Amethyst Biomat Relieves Back Pain

The far infrared light emitted by the Amethyst Biomat has several beneficial effects on the body. Firstly, it penetrates deep into the muscles and soft tissues, increasing blood circulation and increasing tissue oxygen. The improved blood flow produced by the Biomat's infrared technology helps reduce inflammation, provide muscle relaxation, and speed up the healing process, providing relief from chronic low back pain.

Additionally, the negative ion therapy released by the Biomat has a calming effect on the nervous system, reducing stress and tension, which can contribute to the development and perpetuation of pain. By promoting relaxation and stress reduction, the Biomat helps alleviate muscle tension and discomfort in the lower back.

Furthermore, the amethyst crystals infused in the Biomat emit far infrared rays as a natural byproduct of their composition.  But when heated by an infrared device like the ones in the study or the Amethyst Biomat, these rays become 200x stronger and longer than they otherwise would be.  This allows them to penetrate the body deeper and to reach the entire body, inside and out. These rays have been proven to promote relaxation and restful sleep, reduce pain sensations, and help with a wide range of health issues. The combination of far infrared rays, negative ions, and amethyst crystals in the Biomat creates a synergistic effect that can significantly relieve chronic low back pain.

Conclusion

The randomized, controlled trial mentioned in this blog post provides evidence for the effectiveness of infrared therapy in reducing chronic low back pain. The Amethyst Biomat, which produces the same wavelength of far infrared rays used in the study, offers a convenient and non-invasive solution for individuals seeking relief from this condition. With its unique combination of far infrared light waves, negative ions, and amethyst stones, the Biomat can help improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, promote relaxation, and alleviate chronic low back pain. Consider incorporating the Amethyst Biomat into your pain management routine to experience its potential benefits and enhance your overall well-being.
