Sample Treatments for the Amethyst Bio-Mat
If you feel dizzy or nauseous after a treatment you may have overdone the heat.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER and rest!
We have included a few variations of treatments for your guidance. If you are unsure of how to use heat effectively this will give you an idea of how to customize your own treatment for your needs. Please drink water before your treatments and always have plenty of water available during and after treatments. Remember these are only guidelines and please trust your body as everyone is different and is affected by heat and cold in different ways. If your body says it is too much after 5 minutes and we are suggesting 10 minutes, please trust your body.
If at any time you feel you would like a little more heat or a little less heat, please follow your inner guidance. These treatments are just suggestions and follow the principles for safe use of Far Infrared Heat. Imagine being in the sun for too long where you feel groggy, dehydrated and unwell. You will have the same effects being on the Amethyst Bio-Mat if you overdue your heat treatment. If you are feeling unwell, DRINK WATER!

Sauna Treatment
Wrap yourself in a cotton sheet and pre-heat the Amethyst Bio-Mat to 158 degrees (2 red lights: setting 8). Start by being on the mat for 10 minutes and work your way up to 30 or 40 minutes. After your treatment you can reduce the heat to setting 0 and let your body return to it's normal body temperature on it's own. Make sure to have plenty and water and remember that not every sweats very exsily however with time this may start to occur. If you sweat alot you may want to ad extra sheets on top of your mat and increase your water intake to make up for lost water.
Bedtime Treatment
Turn on the mat to 2 green lights (setting 2) about 20 minutes before going to bed. Turn up the mat to 2 or 3 yellow lights (setting 4 or 5) or higher after you get used to it for about 10-15 minutes and then lower to either 1 green light or no lights (setting 0) and then fall asleep. If you set the timer to 8 or 12 hours when you wake up you will still be receiving the benefits of the Negative Ions. Some people also like to raise the heat just a little in the morning to help reduce morning tightens and then get up and enjoy your day!
Control Panel Timers
The control panel is set to control the heat for increments of HOURS not minutes. Please use another method of timing these treatments and use the hours timers for when you are sleeping on the mat all night. Please note also that whatever heat setting the control panel is left on will remain for the allotted hours the timer is set to. Please keep this in mind if falling asleep on any setting higher than 2 green lights (setting 2). The default timer is set to 8 hours as soon as the control panel is turned on.
