Why should you choose infrared mats?
Are you seeking a natural approach to alleviate pain, enhance circulation, and foster healing? If so, you might want to explore the benefits of using an infrared mat.
Infrared mats emit a form of heat known as infrared radiation, akin to the warmth provided by the sun. The sun radiates more than half of its energy as Infrared Light, ranging from 430 THz to 300 GHz. This encompasses Far Infrared Rays (FIR), Mid Infrared Rays (MIR), and Near Infrared Rays (NIR).
FIR, with frequencies from 300GHz to 37 THz and wavelengths from 8 to 1000 microns, is the most distant from visible light. MIR, with frequencies from 37 to 214 THz and wavelengths from 1.4 to 8 microns, falls in the middle. NIR, with frequencies from 214 to 430 THz and wavelengths from 0.75 to 1.4 microns, is closest to visible light.
While NIR rays are powerful, the efficiency of tissue absorption is higher for Far Infrared rays. FIR is also more detectable and less risky in terms of overhead.
Far Infrared, harnessed from Infrared Light, is nature’s most efficient heat, free from harmful radiation and ultraviolet rays. The health benefits of FIR have been known for over 50 years, primarily through FIR saunas.
Ereada Infrared mats utilize special layers with Bamboo carbon, Charcoal, Yellow Clay, and a thick layer of small natural Amethyst and/or Tourmaline tumbled crystals to refract and magnify FIR rays. Amethyst, known as the “superconductor” of Infrared rays, possesses the unique ability to absorb, isolate, amplify, and emit FIR and MIR rays. The Ereada® Amethyst Mat emits both FIR and MIR heat with 93% efficiency in the bio-resonance range of 4-16 microns.
Green Jade is another gem with potent FIR emission properties, contributing to the mat’s Far Infrared Emission Power, as evidenced by tests conducted by Korea Conformity Laboratories, reaching 3.66×10² W/m².

When infrared mats can be used?
Infrared mats can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Pain relief. Infrared mats can help to relieve pain by penetrating the skin and heating the body’s tissues. This can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Improved circulation. Infrared PEMF mat can help to improve circulation by increasing blood flow to the affected area. This can help to reduce pain and swelling.
- Promoted healing. Infrared mats can help to promote healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. This can help to speed up the healing process.
- Relaxation. Infrared mats can help to promote relaxation by providing a gentle heat that can soothe the body and mind.
Which medications should I not be taking while using Infrared mats?
Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms.
Some over the counter drugs such as antihistamines, sleeping aids, blood thinners may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.
Sleeping aids, alcohol, drugs, pain killers, narcotics, anti-psychotic medicines may be the most dangerous substances impairing your ability to judge.
Use common sense and read your medicine’s instructions. If it says you should not drive a car under influence of this medicine, definitely you should not use your infrared mat.
All prescription drugs users and all patients with pre-existing conditions should seek the advice of their doctor for possible changes in the drugs effect when the body is exposed to Far infrared waves or elevated body temperature.
What are the Far Infrared FIR rays and benefits?
Far Infrared is a form of heat emission that is considered the safest, as it operates without direct contact, conduction, or convection.
These rays lie beyond the visible spectrum but are proximate to Micro-Wave radiation, allowing them to penetrate deeply. Importantly, our bodies lack temperature sensors for detecting this type of heat, making it safe.
Far Infrared Rays are deemed optimal due to their ability to deliver heat with lower energy compared to microwaves, ensuring safety and a natural approach. This form of radiation mirrors the way the Sun heats the Earth, sustaining life.
Hot stones emit full-spectrum infrared rays, starting from Near Infrared (NIR) and transferring the most energy in the form of Far Infrared (FIR). Our mixed gemstone belts offer a broader range of wavelength warmth, incorporating Near Infrared (NIR), Mid Infrared (MIR), and primarily Far Infrared rays.
When applied to the body, hot crystals emit Far Infrared Light, penetrating several inches deep, inducing the mobilization of toxins from deep tissues and fat, which are then eliminated through sweating.
Studies suggest that heated amethyst FIR rays may work on a cellular level, exerting a bio-resonance effect on mitochondria, the power stations of cells. This effect can lead to cells generating their own heat for several hours post-session. Deep heating can potentially elevate the core temperature of the entire body, enhance circulation, and alleviate minor discomfort and pains.
It’s important to note that we do not make specific health claims for our heated crystal belts, vests, pads, mats, and other products. For those interested in exploring Far Infrared heating mat benefits, additional information and research studies can be found on the PUBMED website (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) by searching for terms such as “Far-Infrared” or “FIR.”
PubMed is a valuable, freely accessible resource developed and maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It houses over 27 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books.
