Far Infrared Heat and Negative Ions
The Cellular Process of Healing
A cell consists of many components that work together creating a harmonious movement of elements in and out of the cell. The health of these components determines a cell’s ability to perform the functions it needs to sustain life and optimum health.
The interior and exterior environments of a cell differ in a variety of ways. For example there is a difference in the content of positive sodium and potassium ions and negatively charged chloride ions. This difference creates an electrical potential between these two environments which is called a membrane potential. This potential is crucial in that it controls the movement of specific ions entering a cell and allowing acidic waste and other ions to exit the cell through the membrane’s ionic channels.
When our bodies suffer from disease, bodily malfunction or damage, it causes cells to be in a state of positive polarity. This imbalance affects a cell’s ability to remove accumulated waste and thus prohibits its ability to receive needed nutrients to heal.
The negative ions released from the Bio-Mat help reverse the polarity of cells’ membrane potential to a negative state. Therefore, ionic channels are opened, waste exits and nutrients enter the cells. Through this process, cellular communication and function is improved and the healing process begins. In addition to acting upon a cell’s ionic channels, they also have a cleansing effect on the air and the body’s cells; nature’s way of ‘cleaning things up’.
The far-infrared light utilized in the Bio-Mat is a source of heat energy that works in balancing the cooling and cleansing effect of the negative ions. When we apply heat to the body we are increasing circulation, chemical breakdown, and the rate of nutrient, mineral and hormone distribution in the body via the blood system. The Bio-Mat delivers a long wave of far-infrared light that is able to penetrate the body to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. This light wave passes through skin, bones, muscle fibers, nerves, lymph glands, tissues and organs, delivering the required essential nutrients to all of these systems. When we spend a healthy amount of time in the sun we feel stronger, happier and healthier. It feels the same with the Amerhyst Bio-Mat.
It is a misconception that healing is the process of fixing old damaged cells. In reality, healing occurs when new healthy cells are produced. We reproduce every cell in our body in order to maintain the interrelated functions of our body. Therefore, when the correct elements and energy are available to produce new healthy cells, we are truly in the healing process.
The combination of the cooling qualities of the negative ions and the heating qualities of the far-infrared light, work together as a natural detoxification process providing the body with all the tools it needs to heal and restore it's own balance.
