Overview

At AWAREmed, Biomat sessions are offered as a supportive wellness service designed to promote relaxation and comfort. The Biomat combines controlled heat with far-infrared technology and negative ion output to create a calming environment that may complement an overall wellness routine.

This service is intended for individuals seeking a non-invasive, relaxation-focused experience in a supervised, professional setting.

What Is the Biomat?

The Biomat is a wellness device that uses far-infrared heat and negative ions delivered through a specialized mat containing amethyst crystal elements. During a session, the mat gently warms the body while you lie comfortably and relax.

Unlike traditional heating pads, the Biomat is designed to distribute heat evenly and gradually, creating a soothing experience many people find calming.

Why People Choose Biomat Sessions

Clients often incorporate Biomat sessions into their wellness routines for reasons such as:

  • Supporting relaxation and stress management
  • Creating a calming, restful environment
  • Complementing other wellness or relaxation services
  • Enhancing overall comfort and relaxation

Individual experiences vary, and responses to wellness services differ from person to person.

What to Expect During a Session

During your session, you will lie comfortably on the Biomat while the temperature is set to a level appropriate for your comfort. Sessions are typically quiet and relaxing, allowing time to rest, breathe, and unwind.

Our team is available to answer questions and help keep your session safe and comfortable.

Who This May Be Appropriate For

  • Adults looking for a quiet, relaxation-focused warming experience
  • People who want to add a calming session to their stress-management or self-care routine
  • Those who prefer a non-invasive wellness service in a supervised, professional setting
  • People who want a restful complement to other wellness or relaxation services at AWAREmed
  • Those looking for a physician-led practice, under the guidance of Dr. Dalal Akoury, MD, MPH, to review their health history before using heat-based services

A consultation helps decide whether Biomat sessions are a good fit for you. This service is not a substitute for emergency or specialist medical care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the BioMat and how does it work?+
The BioMat is a wellness device that combines far infrared light-waves and negative ion technology. According to the manufacturer, it uses computer frequencies to generate natural light-waves that are conducted through an amethyst crystal bed. This system is designed to provide gentle, even warmth rather than heating through traditional electric coils.
How does the BioMat differ from a standard electric blanket?+
Unlike an electric blanket, the surface of the BioMat pad does not get hot to the touch when turned on. Instead, it gradually provides a gentle, deep sense of warmth through far infrared waves once you lie down on it. It also uses an Electromagnetic Wave Interceptor, which the manufacturer states is designed to reduce EMF output compared with standard heating pads.
What are "Negative Ions" and why are they included?+
Negative ions are electrically charged atoms found in abundance in nature near waterfalls, mountains, and oceans. According to the manufacturer, the BioMat uses specialized fibers from Japan designed to generate negative ions. Many people associate negative ions with the fresh, calming feel of these natural settings.
Does the BioMat use high voltage electricity?+
While the device uses high voltage to generate a negatively charged field, the manufacturer states that no current flows through the body and describes it as a "static electric" or "high potential" device. An external control box converts AC to DC energy to support safe operation and allow for precise temperature adjustment.
Is the BioMat a medical treatment?+
No. At AWAREmed, the BioMat is offered as a non-medical, supportive wellness service. It is intended to complement your overall well-being and is provided in addition to, not instead of, conventional medical care.
What is the role of Amethyst crystals in the BioMat?+
According to the manufacturer, amethyst crystals act as a natural conductor for the far infrared light-waves. By passing the light energy through the crystals, the BioMat is designed to provide steady, soothing warmth that many people find more comforting than superficial heating methods.
Can the BioMat help with relaxation and stress?+
Many people find BioMat sessions relaxing. According to the manufacturer, the BioMat is designed to produce negative ions similar to those found in serene natural environments (like Yosemite Falls), and many guests describe the experience as calming and restful.
What safety features does the BioMat include for heat sessions?+
The pad is equipped with thermal sensors distributed throughout the system. If any part of the pad exceeds the selected temperature, the current is automatically cut off to help prevent overheating and provide a controlled thermal experience.
How does the BioMat fit into Dr. Akoury's integrative approach?+
Dr. Akoury incorporates the BioMat as part of a "whole-systems" approach to wellness. As a calming, non-invasive warming experience, it may complement the body's natural rest and relaxation.
How can I experience a BioMat session at AWAREmed?+
You can request more information or schedule a session at our Johnson City, TN location. As with all our Wellness Studio services, we recommend a consultation to discuss how this supportive technology can best fit into your personalized wellness roadmap.
