Biomat: When is it too long of a session
Our bodies are meant to stay at 98.6. When the mat is on high it can raise the core to 105F. 105F is when the body is in a serious medical emergency. I urge people to never go over 103F on my sauna site and tweaking their sessions to stay at 103F even if they are using it for an hour. It should not feel like torture but it also is not the most fun thing to do. Staying on the Biomat longer than one should as to see how much endurance someone has is not a good thing.
Those with high blood pressure, diabetes, and especially who are on medications should always make sure with their doctor they can do this type of therapy. Those who have these conditions can react differently than a person who can handle deep tissue far infrared therapy.
I urge people to time their first session and see how long it took them to sweat, that first sweat that beads down their brow. This is when the core temperature is raised about 1 degree with the majority of the people I work with. Many people don't make it to 103F core temp due to feeling light headed or like they are going to faint. Many people just starting out can't even go 5 to 10 minutes at 103F. Many people strive for about 20 minutes at 102F to 103F. If not doing a full 20 minute or longer session, I break my sessions up. Still, I find split sessions are better than a longer session not split in half.
Note: even splitting the session up in one hour can be suitable for many. Taking a 5 minute cold shower to bring my body back down from 103F and then continuing the session. I have a bathtub full of lukewarm water ready for me when I do split sessions. Some people do a half session in the morning and the other half at night.
Notice: I do not recommend anyone doing more Biomat sessions in a day. Two sessions per day is good and 4 sessions is too draining. If doing 3 sessions per day, I make sure I have enough supplements so I don't deplete myself. My favorite supplement is Original Quinton. I take this along with Detoxi alkaline salt.
This stuff is expensive but is in the top 5 of my best supplements I use. I have been taking it for about 4 years. Google some reviews on this if you want to see what people say about it. One of my distributors gave me samples of this when I first heard of it. I would never have started using this if I didn't get that first sample.. Warning: don't take this BEFORE your Biomat session. It can give you energy that you don't want.
For those just starting out on the Biomat, I urge people to not do too long of a session and gradually work up to longer sessions. Staying on too long can release too much out of the fat cells and can do the opposite of what the goal is. If you plan on doing long session especially at night on the low settings, there are protocols I recommend taking. Talk to a Biomat Coach and make an appointment on our contact page.
Note: VERY IMPORTANT
The reference to an hour session is not an hour on every mat. For someone that can only handle 48 minutes on a Professional size mat on the high setting might only be able to do 39 minutes on the Single size that doesn't has the added conduction heat when laying on the waterproof pad. With the cloth on top most people can handle longer times. Before getting the just the right Biomat for your session types, make sure you know if you want the extra cloth on the Professional or the urethane only from the Single size.

Every 15 minutes I keep my core temperature up i take one vial. I only take the type with the two glass tips. There is another version that doesn't have the glass.
