Hi All- I'm learning about biomats and want to hear if any of you have used them and what your experience has been? Helpful? Waste of money? There are now 3 of us in my household in treatment for Lyme and Co's and we've all had mold exposure as well. I'm trying to make sure I'm covering all bases in terms of our healing. Thanks!

I have read good things about biomats. But I FINALLY started sleeping through the night after a decade or more of insomnia and I am scared to change anything for fear I might break the spell. ;)

If you do try it—let us know how it goes! Hope others who have tried it can chime in.

I have a biomat and it works pretty good! It is just relaxing and pretty hot. Sometimes I can even sweat on it.

There are reports of some people buying 2 of these and sandwiching themselves between them to really get at the spirochetes which don't like heat.

The biomat uses far infrared light that can easily allow heat to penetrate 6 inches into your body. So Ya it helps for sure.

I am buying a far infrared sauna though as I think I can really heat myself up better with that and make myself really sweat!

LymePickle when/how do you use it? I was thinking of using it for an hour or two while my son is napping in the afternoon but maybe that's not enough? Lately I've been cuddling up with a heating pad but I'm not getting any real benefit from that. Wanted to try something to help me detox. I'm not sure about sleeping on it all night though. Doesn't that get too hot? Is that what you do?

We are also planning on getting FIR sauna but have to wait for basement to be finished which is months off. I want to sweat out some of this stuff out now!

I have 2 of them since we got them used for a good price. At my daughter's last appt. we found out her liver levels were high, so we started talking about things she was doing and she mentioned that she had been using the mat a lot prior to that, for an hour on high each time. He told her to back off some, thinking she was killing off too much I guess, although she didn't have herxing symptoms that we could tell. So it can help.

I'm cold a lot of the time, so I get on it to warm up and relax my muscles and will often fall asleep on it. They have some models for use on a bed and they say to use it on a low heat setting.

We have a FIR sauna, but can't use it since we don't tolerate heat around our heads and don't perspire enough to cool down some, so we'll have to get rid of it, unfortunately.

We have a Biomat.
The whole family uses it. My daughter has lymes and I really think it helps her. She also does Taekwondo and competitive soccer. Great for sore muscles. From what I read, it helps with detox.
I get anxiety and it really helps me feel calmer.
We also have an infrared sauna. Think sweating is key to detox. My husband and daughter love it.

We have had a Biomat since 2010. Heather used to sleep on it at a low setting. Eventually she only used it at a higher setting for an hour or two therapeautically, but did not sleep on it any more. It is a bit hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. We felt that it was one tool among many that we had to help her to heal. We are also using it therapeutically to assist in her healing from the mold toxins.

Did you get the professional size? That's best for people with Lyme. I hope you enjoy it!
