i get stuff and play
5/28/17  purchased one of these used, actually two Healthy Line mats: 1) the small red amethyst pad ~36&#34; x 18&#34; with photon lights and 2) this large reversible mat.  i like both of them.  really only have issues with a damaged index finger, as far as pain goes.  but i have a body that doesn't handle heat well.  my core, once heated, retains heat: it doesn't cool down properly, so i got these pads to poke at the problem in an attempt to work with it and resolve it, or at least better understand it.  in the meantime, infrared heat is good for the body.<br /><br />turns out that i am okay with heat applied to just one side of my body, provided the other side is exposed to a cool space, whether it is the front side, or the backside.  it turns out that the problem is when my entire body is surrounded by heat when it warms up, and that is when i find myself in trouble.  am also experimenting with various chi machines, which impose a very active form of passive exercise on the entire body.  the small fir pad with photon lights (which combines near infrared heat with far infrared heat) sits on a massage table where i use a Sun Ancon Chi Machine SM-330.  that is kind of interesting, because it combines three things while just relaxing on the table: the significant passive movement imposed on the body by the chi machine with both far and near infrared heat, all at the same time, so i am more interested in that result than simply laying on the big mat with only far infrared heat going on.<br /><br />so far, my experiences have been good.  the big mat is laying on a chaise lounge where i often sit during waking hours.  i first used the mat with the jade and toumaline stones side up, and have now turned it over with the amethyst side up.  will be using both mats daily and will update results.  i update reviews regularly.
