HigherDOSE Infrared Mat
The magic about this mat is that a quick session on it can give you the same results as one hour of yoga or meditation. The Infrared PEMF Mat combines two powerful healing technologies to create the ultimate recovery tool. PEMF grounds you in earth’s magnetic field for a full-body reset, while Infrared’s deeply penetrating heat doubles your dose.
Hit the mat to ease chronic pain, recover from workouts, or experience total-body relaxation. The potential benefits of infrared mats are reduced stress, increased energy, improved sleep, improved muscle recovery and improved circulation.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Magnetic Frequency, or PEMF, produces a grounding frequency similar to what’s generated by the planet earth. So you can feel the healing benefits of nature right in your own home. (Read our review of the HigherDOSE sauna blanket).
