Amethyst Bio-Mat Control Panel
The Control Panel is a device that attaches to the Amethyst Bio-Mat and provides the necessary energy to create the natural healing energy fields for our bodies to absorb. There are 9 settings on panel that can be used in combination with each other to create a personalized treatment or sleeping state. Please note that you do not have to have heat on the mat to receive the benefits of the Negative Ions.
The up heat button moves sequentially through all the settings. When you are at 2 red lights you see all the green and yellow lights as well. Have a look at the diagrams if you are unsure.
Setting 0 - No Heat
The default setting of the Amethyst Bio-Mat starts producing Negative Ions without any heat. After a treatment with Far Infrared Heat this is a finishing setting to help your body remove the toxins that were released during the increased circulation of the hot settings. This is also a great setting to sleep on if you do not want any heat during the night without the risk of getting dehydrated.
Setting 1 - One Green Light
This is the first heat setting with a temperature of 95 degrees - body temperature. This setting provides a nice cool heat that is ideal for sleeping on if you do not get excessively cold during the night. After a longer heat treatment at a higher setting this is a great place to come down to and sit for 10 minutes before either going back down to setting 0 or getting off the mat. A good transitional setting also to help you get out of bed in the morning without putting you back to sleep.
Setting 2 - Two Green Lights
This is the second heat setting with a temperature of 104 degrees and is the highest recommended setting to sleep on. This setting produces a warm heat that gently warms all superficial areas of the body. If sleeping on this setting, have a glass of water by the bed to refill your self during the night. This is a good setting to come back to after a sauna heat to give your body time to cool down
Setting 3 - One Yellow Lights
This is the third heat setting with a temperature of 113 degrees. Please do not sleep on this setting unless you are familiar with the contrasting effects of heat and are able to get un in the night if it gets too hot. As we move up in settings, your water requirement will increase.
Setting 4 - Two Yellow Lights
This is the fourth heat setting with a temperature of 122 degrees. Long Far Infrared Heat wave reach 6-8 inches into the body and increase circulation in all the tissues. The body begins to heat up and has a red colouring in the skin. Please drink water as this will assist the body in replacing the water your body beings to expire.
Setting 5 - Three Yellow Lights
This is the fifth heat setting with a temperature of 131 degrees. Heat increases circulation and brings nutrients to all areas in the body. Increasing bodily functions allows the body to transfer needed hormones, nutrients and other elements to all areas in the body. Please drink plenty of water as the body uses water as it's main transportation system. If you have Alkaline water available, that is the best for hydration.
Setting 6 - Four Yellow Lights
This is the sixth heat setting with a temperature of 140 degrees. The first cool down place to go to in a treatment after being on the 8th sauna setting for 10 minutes. Remember to drink plenty of water as the inner muscles, organs and joints begin to receive the deep penetrating Far Infrared Heat.
Setting 7 - One Red Lights
This is the seventh heat setting with a temperature of 149 degrees. This is the first sauna setting and the body will receive an invigorating, hot and deep soothing heat. Some people do not sweat however if you do please make sure to drink plenty of water. Please build up to being on this setting for too long, starting at 5 minutes and working your way up to .5 - 1 hour.
Setting 8 - Two Red Lights
This is the eighth heat setting with a temperature of 158 degrees. You can increases the amount of consolidated heat and sweating by wrapping yourself in cotton sheets to hold in all the heat. Please build up tolerance to this setting, starting at 5 minutes and working your way up. Like being in the beating hot sun for too long, it is not safe to be on this setting for about 1 hour. Drink plenty of water and enjoy the treatment!
Control Panel Timer
The Amethyst Bio-Mat controller has 4 timed options. 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours. If the time is set to 12 hours and the heat setting is on 131 degrees (3 yellow lights: setting 5), the Amethyst Bio-Mat will remain on this heat setting for 12 hours. When counting on the times to turn the unit off, please be aware of what heat setting you have the control panel on as it is physically dangerous for your body to be on the higher heat settings for longer than 1-1.5 hours even after you have acclimatized to the heat. The default timer is set to 8 hours as soon as the control panel is turned on.
