Supports Core Body Temperature
Enzymes are responsible for nearly every chemical and biological process in the body, and they are very sensitive to temperature.  A small decrease in temperature can cause a large decrease in the activity of an enzyme.  Many people have low body temperatures without considering if this could be related to other health problems.

Relieves Stress, Improves Mood, Promotes Relaxation
The BioMat is more relaxing than most other infrared therapy modalities given that one can lie down.  Headphones with ambient music can enhance the relaxation.  Using an animal model, a scientific study see at the Brain Stimulation Journal shows the anti-depressive and anti-anxiety effects of infrared therapy.

Heals Soft Tissue
For new injuries that involve swelling, ice is usually the preferred treatment to relieve swelling.  However, for existing injuries, such as strains, sprains, or other soft tissue injuries, heat is often the recommended treatment.  The BioMat allows heat to be delivered deeply to the injured site, rather than just on the skin.  It produces far infrared light without becoming hot to the touch, so it can be used near the injury to promote healing.

Relieves Pain
Infrared therapy is known to relieve chronic pain.  Many infrared devices do not offer a way to easily target therapy on the affected area for long spans of time.  The BioMat produces significant far infrared light, while being comfortable to the touch.  It can be used close to the body.  Infrared light offers a powerful and natural form of pain relief, without unpleasant side effects.

Improves Circulation
Whole-body infrared therapy, also called waon therapy, can increase the temperature of the body, and improve circulation greatly.  The capillaries expand, and the hands and feet become warm to shed excess heat.  The added blood flow allows more nutrients and oxygen to reach the cells, allowing waste to be rapidly exported, and allowing rapid lymph drainage.   

Allows Artificial Fever
Hippocrates said that if he had the power to produce a fever, he could cure all disease, realizing this is an overstatement - it is a profound realization. He understood the body uses fever to fight disease.  The BioMat can be used in a controlled fashion to raise body temperature.  Using the high settings, laying under a blanket essentially creates a mild artificial fever.  A book by Dr. Nobuhiro Yoshimizu, called The Fourth Treatment for Medical Refugees, describes the technique details, and the breathtaking results achieved.

Breaks a Sweat
Sweating is natural, contributing to healthy biological functions.  Aside from cooling and unclogging pores, sweating allows the body to excrete accumulated toxic compounds.  Many toxins are excreted through sweat.  Observing humanity over time, life with sweating daily is natural.  While life has evolved vastly technologically, regarding the human condition, it has not.  Far infrared therapy does facilitate some of the biological processes resolved by exercising, and perspiring.
