Why Use Amethyst In The Richway Biomat?

The entire face of each Richway Amethyst Biomat is made up of channels that hold amethyst. This is so that the far infrared rays generated by the Biomat must pass through them before getting to you. The reason for this is simple. The amethyst takes those far infrared rays, elongates them, and sets the vibrational frequency to one that is best absorbed by the human body. Amethyst amplifies the FIR coming from the Biomat 200 times and transfers them to you. This guarantees that the far infrared rays and negative ions reach up to 6-8 inches into your body.

Once inside the body, the far infrared rays produced by Biomat technology are intensified by the amethyst while at the same time set at a natural vibrational frequency that turns to heat and warms you from the inside. This vibrational heat resonates within the body and can detoxify and heal the body in a fundamental way. The far infrared rays normalize the body's cells, increasing blood circulation, encouraging perspiration, eliminating toxins, relaxing muscles, and promoting the immune system.

Amethyst also emits negative ions, which are charged particles that have a positive effect on our well-being. These ions help to neutralize the positive ions produced by electronic devices and pollutants in the air, creating a more balanced and harmonious environment. Amethyst's negative ions can improve mood, reduce stress, and promote better sleep.

The History of Using Amethyst to Heal

Amethyst, known as the "stone of sobriety" and the "stone of spirituality," has long been revered for its healing properties and its ability to enhance spiritual growth and intuition. This beautiful purple gemstone has a rich history and is highly sought after for its many uses in both scientific and metaphysical realms. The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used it for many things, including pain relief, stress relief and relaxation.

More recently, a portion of the scientific community believes that amethyst aids in the use of light when it comes to human health, making it nature's transformer and superconductor. Amethyst transforms the lower vibrations of light into higher ones. Amethyst amplifies far infrared light into longer waves which are then more easily absorbed by the human body, acting as a superconductor between FIR and body tissue.

Science has proven that amethyst emits far infrared rays, which are a type of wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum. These rays have been found to have various healing uses. When amethyst is heated or exposed to sunlight, it releases far infrared rays that can penetrate deep into the body, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and improving blood circulation. This can help alleviate muscle pain and tension, promote better sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Amethyst's far infrared rays also have detoxifying properties, helping to eliminate toxins from the body and support the immune system.

Amethyst is believed to have a calming effect on the mind and body, promoting relaxation and stress relief. Research has shown that amethyst emits negative ions, which are known to have positive effects on mood and overall well-being. These negative ions can help to counteract the positive ions emitted by electronic devices, reducing the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation. Amethyst has also been used to alleviate headaches and promote restful sleep.

Metaphysically, amethyst is believed to possess powerful healing energy. It is often used to balance and align the chakras, particularly the crown chakra, which is associated with spirituality and higher consciousness. Amethyst is said to enhance spiritual awareness and intuition, helping individuals to tap into their higher selves and connect with the divine. It is also believed to protect against negative energy and psychic attacks, creating a shield of spiritual protection.

Amethyst is commonly used in meditation practices due to its calming and centering properties. Its soothing energy can help to quiet the mind and enhance focus, making it easier to enter a meditative state. Many people find that meditating with amethyst promotes a sense of inner peace and spiritual growth. It is often used in crystal grids and placed on the third eye or crown chakra during meditation sessions.

Throughout history, amethyst has been highly valued and used for a variety of purposes. In ancient times, it was believed to have protective properties and was often worn by warriors in battle. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that amethyst could prevent drunkenness and used it in their drinking vessels. In fact, the word "amethyst" is derived from the Greek word "amethystos," which means "not intoxicated." The ancient Romans and Egyptians prized amethyst as well and for the same reasons as the Greeks.  For the Romans, it was a hangover cure and used as a remedy for alcoholism. 

But more widely throughout human history, amethyst has been used as a remedy for depression, sleeplessness, headaches, and especially anxiety. For millennia, people have looked to amethyst to calm their worries and stress and to realign their focus. People have used amethyst to alleviate various types of pain for thousands of years. Its soothing energy has been believed to relieve headaches, migraines, and tension.

In conclusion, amethyst is a powerful and versatile gemstone with a long history of use for its healing properties. Scientifically, it has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its ability to promote relaxation and alleviate pain. Metaphysically, it is believed to enhance spiritual growth, intuition, and psychic protection. It is commonly used in meditation practices and has been highly valued throughout history for its protective and sobering properties. Whether you are seeking physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, amethyst is a gemstone that can provide support and guidance on your journey.

Do you think it's a coincidence that history and current research match up? Take a look at what ancient civilizations used amethyst for and then look at the uses for the Richway Amethyst Biomat. This is no coincidence.

The Richway Amethyst Biomat: Bringing The History of Healing Into Today

When you stop and think about the reasons people have consumed alcohol for thousands of years, you realize the largest of them is to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.  Alcohol gives us temporary relief from these things, though "temporary" is the key word.  Is it a coincidence that people used amethyst to alleviate themselves from alcohol and alcoholism throughout history while people of today use the Amethyst Biomat to relax and to combat stress and depression?  Amethyst has been proven, scientifically, to relax muscles and alleviate pain.  

The far infrared rays that amethyst produces have been proven to alleviate stress and the negative ions it produces have been proven to enhance focus.  People use the Amethyst Biomat for the exact same reasons.  Coincidence?

People in ancient times used amethyst crystals to alleviate headaches and migraines. What scientific reason could there be for such behavior?

The Amethyst Biomat is an FDA-approved medical device for the temporary relief of joint pain, minor muscle pain, arthritis pain, back pain, and muscle spasms.  It is also FDA-approved for the relaxation of muscles and increases blood circulation. 

Why do we take aspirin when we have a headache?  Because it reduces the dilation of blood vessels, which increases circulation. When blood flows more freely, it calms inflammation and gets rid of wastes and toxins faster.  Far infrared light from the amethyst in the Amethyst Biomat have been proven to produce improved circulation.  

People in ancient times used amethyst for occasional sleeplessness.  One of the best benefits of an Amethyst Biomat is its ability to promote restful deep sleep. 

For hundreds, if not thousands, of years, people have used amethyst to cure depression.  Amethyst emits negative ions that have been proven to help alleviate depression.  Amethyst Biomats emit negative ion therapy. Another coincidence?

Many times, especially with healing, we can look back at what people used to help themselves get through maladies and sicknesses and use the science of today to validate their choices.  Amethyst is definitely one of those times.

The great thing about science?  We can take those things from our past and make them work better for us now.  Those people in ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome didn't have the technology that we do today. 

Richway's cutting-edge technology heats the amethyst which results in the deep-penetrating far infrared rays being amplified by 200 times the strength that those ancient peoples were getting.  Those people weren't able to feel the infrared heat generated by the amethyst transforming the invisible light into frequencies that produced the levels of deep relaxation, natural pain relief, and optimal health for the entire body that Amethyst Biomats have to offer.
