Recovery Boots: FAQ

What is the Suggested use examples for athletes?

Athletes use Recovery Systems as part of their recovery regimen, managing discomfort or muscle soreness from training by improving their lymphatic and circulatory systems. Other than sleep and nutrition, it’s one of the modalities they use to aid their recovery.

Endurance Athletes (with no medical indication)

Short training session (e.g. 90 mins swim/ 60 mins run/ 90 mins easy cycle):

20 to 30 mins recovery on Mode B (Sequential)

Intensive training session (e.g. run of 90 mins or shorter interval session/ more than 90 mins hard or hilly bike ride/ 2 hours swim):

40 to 60 mins recovery on Mode B (Sequential)

Frequency and timing of recovery session:

1 session a day is good; 2 – to 3 sessions a day for those under heavy training load will enhance recovery
Many people fall asleep during a session as the body’s parasympathetic system is activated (neurological recovery), so the last session before bed is likely to improve sleep quality
Weekends are a great time for 60-min recovery sessions

Warm-Up:

10 to 20 mins before an event, this is a great idea in cooler climates where it may be otherwise difficult. Our muscle oxygen data has shown that in 8 to 10 mins on Recovery Systems is the equivalent of a 30-min warm-up

Pressure Recommendations:

Higher pressure isn’t necessarily better; blood volume varies based on the size of the person and other factors
Black Max Pro recommends starting with settings between level 4 and level 6 and then adjusting the intensity according to your comfort level as the treatment progresses.
Leg cuffs – you should never be uncomfortable on your feet and legs, 140 to 180 mmhg in pressure should be comfortable for most users
Arm and Torso cuff – should be no more than 120 mmhg in pressure

* These are guidelines only for athletes and sportspersons.

What is the SOP for medical users?

Is Recovery Systems designed for daily use?

When to use it? What pressure? How often? How long should I use?

Can Recovery Systems be used for a warm-up?

Data shows that 8 to 10 minutes on the boots as a warmup on our Recovery Systems will bring your muscle oxygen up to the point that would normally take 30 to 40 minutes to reach.

The biggest boost in muscle oxygen activity occurs in the first 8 to 10 minutes of treatment on Recovery Systems; what a great way to bio-hack your warmup at a low metabolic cost.

What are the recommended pressure levels and treatment times?

A general rule of thumb for athletes is to set the pressure based on their comfort levels. For medical cases, please consult your medical practitioner for a recommendation, as the pressure level should be adjusted to the individual’s level of comfort, tolerance and response to treatment under medical guidance.

There is also no standard consensus on the frequency of treatments. Depending on the individual situation, the treatment duration could be 30 minutes to two hours, and the frequency could be 1 to 4 times daily based on the needs. Before bedtime often promotes sleep quality.

How to use it?

All our models are user-friendly and simple to use. Simply follow these 4 simple steps:

Plug & Connect – Plug the control unit into the power source (except our Black Max Pro, our battery version). Connect the cuff hose connector to the control unit.
Sit and Zip – Find a comfortable sitting or lying position, slip into the cuffs and zip them up.
Set & Start – Select your preferred treatment mode, timer and pressure level, then Start.

Recovery Boots: How It Works

What is Intermittent Pneumatic Compression? How does it work?

In simple terms, it’s an air compression massager that speeds up the body’s natural healing process by flushing out the bad stuff and bringing in the good stuff for faster healing and recovery.

While using our Recovery Systems, your legs or limbs are enclosed in a cuff. The cuff fills with air and squeezes the legs like a blood pressure cuff. Then, the cuff deflates and relaxes. This inflating and deflating process repeats over and over during the treatment cycle. The compression helps move blood through your veins towards your heart. It also promotes the natural release of substances in your body that help prevent clots. Between compressions, the leg cuffs relax, and oxygen-rich blood continues to flow in the arteries of your legs.

What are the benefits of using Recovery Systems?

Increase circulation
Accelerates removal of metabolic waste helps muscles recover by ridding them of lactic
acid build-up
Speeds up muscle repair from training
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Prevention
Speeds up recovery, healing and gains from sports training and competition
It can be used pre-workout as an effective warmup and post-workout to help muscles
recover, heal and improve faster than rest or massage.
Relieves swelling caused by conditions such as DVT, diabetes, lymphoma, edema and
other circulatory issues. (Please consult your medical practitioner first)

How does Recovery Systems promote athletes recovery and also reduce swelling for individuals with swelling conditions?

We designed our products for athletes’ home use with Intermittent Pneumatic Compression technology (air compression massager). This technology employs inflating and deflating air to fill the leg cuffs that enclose the legs. The repeated process of squeezing and releasing the leg cuffs speeds up the elimination of swelling, a classic symptom post-workout.

Aside from faster removal of waste products and delivery of fresh nutrients for faster healing and recovery, it also improves joint awareness, movement efficiency, and, more importantly, a reduction of soreness, getting you ready for action again sooner. Most importantly, the recovery process can be done at any time in the comfort of your home.

Does a calf air compression pants work ?

Air compression pants are a versatile and innovative solution for comprehensive muscle treatment. They are designed for maximum recovery and can be used at home, outdoors, or during air travel due to their lightweight, portable, battery-powered controller.

The full-length pants cuff, spanning from foot to waist, provides comprehensive treatment for the legs and key muscle groups, including the legs, upper quads, groin, hips, and glutes.

The comprehensive treatment of many muscle groups is an excellent advantage for those wanting maximum recovery benefits, including lymphatic drainage.

Do air compression pants or torso garments help slimming or body sculpting ?

Who shouldn’t wear compression pants ?

Does a calf air compression massager work

Due to their static nature, static compression garments (such as compression socks) offer a limited increase in blood flow and are ineffective.

The calf muscle functions as a secondary pump, effectively circulating blood throughout the body. Recovery Systems Atom’s innovative design enhances this crucial physiological process. The pressure of the squeeze and release function is around ten times that of static compression, greatly influencing blood flow and the associated healing. Atom calf air compression massager is a great way to treat restless legs.

Atom utilizes intermittent compression to speed up the body’s natural recovery process, providing quicker recovery times than traditional solutions, including compression socks, massage, or rest.

Uses of our products improve recovery, rehabilitation, mobility, and maintenance of the athlete’s peak condition.

The large 150 x 60 cm mat is big enough to cover most of the body, and the medium is big enough for most people to lay half their body on the mat. For example, when lying down, this mat can cover the entire area from your shoulders to your lower back or stretch your legs to target them instead. Our customer reviews will tell you that these are the Best Infrared PEMF mats available.

Recovery Systems Qi Mat What is FAR INFRARED

People likely forget about the dangers of things that are not visible. In this case, Far Infrared provides certain benefits centred around the user’s general wellness. When heated, the gemstone from your mat releases the “far infrared” rays, which increase with every temperature rise.

We feel a ripple effect from within our skin during sunny days, especially when coming into contact with the sun due to the infrared rays invisible to the human eye. Plants use these rays as it is difficult to photosynthesize and even feed without them. Plants and humans are dependent on FIR. However, while one is essential for the food chain, the other benefits because it helps improve general wellness, not to mention the warm feeling it creates in the human skin or, better still, the body. There have been countless discoveries on how best to utilize FIR for the human body’s benefit.
As you may know, there is a growing trend away from medication and towards natural remedies. This is why FIR infrared therapy has some immense benefits, as it can do a couple of things for you. However, we have some benefits you might find worth needing. Some of the benefits are:

Benefits

1. FIR Improves Overall Wellness: One of the benefits is that overall wellness is greatly improved, especially for chronic pain relief and boosting mood. Over the years, chronic pain patients have been treated using thermal therapy. Researchers at the University of Nishi Kyushu, Japan, found how infrared sauna heat therapy could improve people’s function and overall well-being. So, FIR eliminates tension and creates a more relaxed body and mind, void of stress.

2. FIR improves detoxification: Another benefit of FIR therapy is that it helps lymphatic cleansing and detoxification. As you know, poor blood circulation allows toxins to accumulate. FIR facilitates the elimination of fats, chemicals, and toxins from the blood. Lastly, FIR is a safe, drug-free tool for detoxification, and it is more effective than conventional heat or steam sauna.

3. FIR helps with wound healing: FIR therapy can heal a wound at a rapid rate. Some clinical, scientific studies in Japan made it more compelling how FIR could heal wounds without depending on skin temperatures or even blood flow changes. One interesting thing to know about FIR regarding wound healing is that DNA synthesis, cell growth, and protein synthesis are duly supported. FIR will also accelerate the recovery from burns, skin breakouts, and even skin problems.

4. Blood circulation and skin complexion are improved: Far infrared supports healthy lung function. Plus, capillaries are expanded, stimulating oxygen and regeneration and increasing blood flow and circulation. In addition, there are skin benefits when the sebaceous glands are activated. The pores are displaced through the skin, creating brighter and clearer skin.

5. Recovery from Minor pains and stiffness because of FIR: FIR treatment has been credited in various ways that can benefit one’s health and general quality. Interestingly, there are two main ways that it is made possible. They are Infrared mats and Infrared Saunas. In the case of Infrared mats, convenience and, therefore, repeatability of treatment is highly beneficial for chronic or day-to-day recovery of stiffness and joint pain. Mats can also be slept on to facilitate a speedy recovery overnight. Mats trump Infrared saunas due to the convenience and repeatability of home use: inflammation and joint pain.

6. FIR Can provide comfort for chronic fatigue patients: Aside from minor pain relief, People dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome can witness an improvement in the quality of their lives because of FIR therapy. There has been much research on how efficient FIR can be for those with Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and all the findings point to FIR therapy’s dramatic improvements for CFS patients. Not in the least of these improvements is the ability to sleep pain-free.

Recovery Systems Qi Mat – What is PEMF

PEMF has continued to witness a steady increase in popularity due to its natural approach to wellness maintenance, which is a fundamental reason to know its possible hazards and safety measures. PEMF, when appropriately used, is a top-notch wellness-enhancing process; however, only a few are aware of how it operates, which further means that even a lesser number know how to use it effectively.

Definition and Insight into what PEMF is:

Pulsed electromagnetic field systems, as they are so-called, produce magnetic frequencies from an electrical current. It is no new information that electric pulses are present throughout the human body, from heartbeats to blood vessels. Therefore, one can easily conclude that PEMF can impact bodily function. PEMF, on a cellular level, are capable of stimulating both molecules and tissues in other to improve general wellness. MRI machines are known to be a common source of PEMF exposure, plus they also have one of the most vigorous PEMF intensities to which humans are usually exposed.

While it is necessary to know what it means, it is also essential to understand its application method. There are two main topics of concern to note about PEMF: exposure time and the level of intensity you receive its waves. There are numerous studies and scientific evidence based on the effectiveness of PEMF for various illnesses, and these studies don’t show any evidence of side effects or hazards to human wellbeing.

For More on PEMF here:
https://www.recoverysystemssport.com/pulsed-electromagnetic-field-pemf-therapy/

Appropriate Exposure and Frequency

There are numerous PEMF devices available on the market that utilize various waveforms, intensities, and frequencies. It can be a complex process, especially when trying to determine which is the most efficient. Electromagnetic frequencies are usually measured in Hertz, and different cell types generally respond to the other frequencies. In some instances, the human body is generally with a more reduced frequency, especially for therapeutic wellness effects. However, both the human body and Earth can produce their frequencies, which is why Recovery System mats are made to create a frequency of 7.8 Hz, which mimics the frequency the Earth releases.

The 7.8 Hz frequency is mostly in tune with the human body’s bio-rhythm. It receives an efficient response rate which in turn provides accurate results for maintaining wellness levels. Cellular communication usually occurs at a more reduced level which is why it needs lesser energy levels to aid and increase general cell function and wellness. PEMF Recovery systems also use a sinusoidal wavelength in other to deliver its frequency. This waveform serves as one of the numerous options available. One of the reasons why it was chosen for our product is because it has a more reduced intensity, which enhances processes in the body.

How to use PEMF

If you own a mat equipped with the PEMF function, it is advisable to use it daily. Using it consistently will bring about notable results over time. PEMF is advantageous, especially in lowering electrical interference in every part of the human body to ensure proper functionality. PEMF can be used for any time duration; however, 20 to 30 minutes is required to attain a full day’s worth of benefits. This is a way of ensuring that users receive the necessary exposure daily.

You can never be too exposed to PEMF; it has further been established that the more chronic the issue, the longer the user is required. Their extended sessions aid in alleviating more severe problems at a much faster rate. By directing the PEMF towards the affected area to get desired results. Full body sessions are necessary, especially when using the mat for general wellness maintenance, as they simplify the entire process.

Even if you are feeling better, you don’t have to stop. While it is beneficial to suppress your symptoms, there is however still much work to be done. Continuous use of your PEMF from this point will aid in ensuring that the reason for the problem is handled and for the efficient maintenance of your wellness down the line. In situations of more severe illnesses, it is advisable to continue with PEMF therapy indefinitely as many of them are terminal illnesses.

Our customer testimonials will tell you that our Qi series is the best PEMF mat available today.

Recovery Systems Qi Mat – What is Photon (Red light therapy)

The applications of different medical techniques continue to evolve and one of the most intriguing applications recently has been the use of photon light therapy. Although different light wavelengths such as infrared have been used to treat autoimmune diseases and muscle tension, photon light seems to have more benefits.

Research shows that different body tissues can absorb energy from distinct wavelengths, and since photon light has a shorter wavelength, it cannot be used for the same treatment as infrared light. To properly understand the medical benefits of photon light, it is essential to understand what exactly photon light is.

What is Photon Light Therapy?

Photon Light Therapy (AKA Red Light Therapy or RLT) is a therapeutic technique that uses red light visible to the eyes to treat different skin issues. Compared to infrared rays, photon lights have a shorter wavelength of 660 nanometers and are typically used to treat issues underneath the skin.

The skin cells readily absorb the energy, which is then transformed into nitric oxide. This process also stimulates the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which promotes cell regeneration and improves the growth of healthy cells within the body. Photon Light Therapy also promotes detoxification by catalyzing the synthesis of protein and collagen in the mitochondria. Thus, it supports apoptosis (scheduled cell death) and reduces any unusual cell growth or mass.

Aside from these benefits already mentioned, other incredible benefits have been proven by different studies.

Benefits of Photon Light Therapy

With photon light therapy being a non-invasive therapeutic method, there are so many benefits that you should explore. Below are a few ways this therapy can benefit you.

It can Improve the Results of other Procedures

One of the many benefits of photon light therapy is that it can enhance the results of different therapeutic procedures. The body absorbs energy from photon light therapy and can stimulate the cells better than any medication. Hence, it gives you better control over toxins and other harmful agents at a molecular level.

For instance, adding photon light therapy to processes like FIR and PEMF can give you the best results compared to doing both alone. The negative ions alongside either of the treatments will strengthen your body’s immune system to protect it from toxins.

It Can Help Improve Skin and Acne

Skin cells can absorb the energy of photon light quickly and easily, so it is no surprise that it is being introduced into skincare. Many studies have reported that the energy from photon light can improve the skin’s texture and complexion and reduce skin-related issues such as acne. For instance, in a study where individuals with acne vulgaris were tested with photon light therapy, about 85% showed a 50% reduction of lesions in two months.

Within this group, 20% of these individuals saw a 90% reduction in acne and after three months, 70% had all their acne disappear. 20% were unresponsive, and this is an impressive treatment.

It Improves the Chances of Better Wound Recovery

Photon light therapy has also been found to improve the recovery of wounds in animals. So far, studies have been conducted on diabetic mice and rats. Diabetes is a disease that usually causes wounds to heal slowly; however, research has shown that photon light speeds up the recovery process significantly. Primarily, the absorption of light by the skin cells has been reported to increase collagen synthesis after two months.

Collagen aids cell regeneration and is necessary for wound healing. The results achieved have shown that photon light could help diabetic patients with wound healing in the future. However, the process is still in the works.

It May Help with Symptoms of Depression

Depression and other mental health-related diseases are undoubtedly one of the most significant issues in society today. According to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), over 6% of Americans deal with depression, and these are just the diagnosed cases. Managing depression usually entails therapy sessions and some medications administered by a professional. However, there is an ongoing study of how photon light therapy might affect the brain and help in alleviating the symptoms of depression.
According to a clinical study of 10 students exposed to photon light treatment on the head for two weeks, 6 students showed a reduction of symptoms on the Hamilton Depression rating scale. Also, 7 of these 10 students showed decreased symptoms on the Hamilton Anxiety rating scale.

SAD also released a trial in which 20 patients were treated with light therapy for 2 hours. The results showed that the green light was more effective in reducing depressive symptoms. These results depict the potential for using photon light therapy to treat patients with depression and anxiety. However, the results are still inconclusive, so it is advisable always to seek help from experts if you deal with depression or other mental health issues.

It May Improve Minor Motor Function and Nerve Regeneration
Last but not least, photon light therapy’s benefit or potential application is restoring motor function and improving nerve regeneration. There are so many clinical studies in the works; however, one study showed an improvement in the motor function of rabbits. Photon light therapy was administered to rabbits with a stroke six hours after it yielded. The results showed an improvement and a potential for the normal motor functions of the rabbits to be explored.
Aside from the motor functions, light therapy is also being tested for nerve regeneration, especially in the spinal cord and face. Although there has not been a positive result, experts are optimistic it will yield soon.

Photon light therapy is a noninvasive therapeutic option valuable for treating skin issues and improving other healing processes. It also has the potential for other therapeutic purposes, such as wound healing, reducing depression, nerve regeneration, and so much more. Therefore, photon light therapy is worth investing in and incorporating into your therapeutic journey.

Recovery Systems Qi Mat – What are Negative Ions

Ever gone to a beach? Remember how you closed your eyes, and all seemed well with the world? What about your last climb on a mountain and the adventure to a fall? Remember the tranquillity? It is not a coincidence that there are negative ions at work! Besides the slow-down and relaxation you get from getting away from your routine, negative ions on the beach and mountains make you feel good. Nature is an excellent energy source. Naturally occurring elements (like water, air, sunlight, and radiation from the Earth) produce invisible negative ions that help improve your health and all-around wellness.

What are negative ions?

An atom or molecule that loses or gains one or more electrons is referred to as an ion. Ions electrically charge a neutral atom or molecule. Positive ions occur in atoms and molecules that have lost one or more electrons, while negative ions occur in atoms and molecules that have gained one or more electrons. An example of a negative ion is the oxygen molecule O2, which has gained one more electron to form O2-.

The air that we breathe has a balance between positive and negative ions. However, in natural spaces like beaches, waterfalls, and mountains, the extra rush of water and air releases free electrons that bind to the oxygen in the air and create negative oxygen ions. Other sources of negative ions include thunderstorms. A shower is an artificial source of negative ions, as the colliding of water particles during a heavy stream produces extra electrons that bind with the air. Negative ions calm and refresh the body and mind.
Technology, noise, artificial light, clutter, waste, smoke, and many other things reduce negative ions in the air. When negative ions are reduced, positive ions take root. Unlike negative ions, positive ions are harmful and toxic to our bodies. Positive ions in the air spread diseases and airborne viruses. Most of our living and working spaces do not have sufficient negative ions, so positive ions are prevalent. Positive ions cause headaches, migraines, stress, inability to relax, and a general decrease in energy and mood.

There are many tremendous health benefits of negative ions, some of which are.

● Cleans air and aids breathing

Positive ions in the environment cause pollution and contaminate the air. Negative ions bind to positive ions in the air to neutralize their effect and clear the air. There is also a decrease in toxic components, dust, smoke, pollen, and airborne diseases with negative ions. Clean and fresh air reduces your chances of contracting an airborne illness and improves your overall health and well-being.

● Aids breathing

Our trachea’s cilia filter out foreign particles and airborne diseases from the lungs. Negative ions assist the cilia by filtering out the foreign particles before they get to the cilia. The less work the cilia must do, the easier breathing is. The easier it is to breathe, the cleaner oxygen gets to the body’s organs. Symptoms like cough, sneeze, wheeze and throat irritation are eliminated. They also reduce and neutralize triggers and allergies in people with respiratory conditions like asthma. Seasonal outbreaks like the flu are less prevalent in an environment with negative ions.

● Helps with rest

The benefits of sleep on the body are critical to health. The average adult should sleep for at least 8 hours per night. Adequate sleep and rest renew the body for daily tasks and prevent stress. Research shows Negative ions improve sleep and aid proper rest. Negative ions improve the production of serotonin, which improves the body’s ability to rest and refresh. A well-rested body is a healthy body that is able to perform activities of daily living and still have enough fun energy.

● Improved brain functioning

Extended use of modern technology (like your phone, computer, iPad) produces electromagnetic frequencies that are dangerous for health. These frequencies are the leading causes of headaches and migraines. The electromagnetic frequencies also cause mental exhaustion and reduce focus and attentiveness. Negative ions reduce the effect of electromagnetic frequencies and optimize brain functioning. Negative ions also reduce headaches and migraines. A 16-week study by Surrey University showed up to 78% reduction in headaches when an artificial negative ionic emitting machine was installed in the Norwich Union company. Concentration, alertness, and increased task performance are also seen in environments with sufficient negative ions. Negative ions also increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain, improving fast reasoning and enabling problem-solving skills. Using negative ion emitters in hospitals increases the healing rate in patients with brain conditions and improves cognitive functioning in other patients. The overall effect of negative ions enhances brain functioning.

● Improve physical functioning

Negative ions increase blood oxygenation and aid oxygen distribution to different organs. An adequate supply of oxygen to body parts like the brain and muscles improves the body’s physical functioning. Studies show that negative ions also increase the body’s tolerance for exercise and aid physical performance without fatigue. Negative ions also reduce illness and stress that affect physical functioning.

Other health benefits include a positive mood and a happy state of mind.

The benefits of negative ions are instantaneous and immediately bring relief. The relaxing effect is like no other. So, visit nature, sit by a beach, climb a mountain, and travel to waterfalls. Inhale the air and take in as many negative ions as your body needs. Shower and use artificial negative ion emitters when you cannot afford a break. You are sure to feel good and healthier. Maintaining optimal health at all times and preventing illnesses is a duty you owe yourself. Take good care of your health by increasing your exposure to negative ions.

Other benefits of Amethyst include metabolism and hormone boosts, strengthening the immune system, and reducing pain. It detoxifies the blood of dead or dangerous cells and assists with healing recovery of the respiratory tract, skin conditions, cellular disorders, and digestive tract diseases.

You must be wondering, “How does amethyst produce these healing and soothing effects?” Well, it does this through two natural processes: beneficial ion emission and the release of far-infrared radiation, two therapies found in nature and necessary to maintain the quality of human life.

Ions are molecules that have positive or negative electrical charges. Negative ions are natural occurrences around us every time a molecule breaks apart, typically due to sunlight, radiation, and air or water in motion. Negative Ions are in natural abundance at the beach, the forest, or the mountains; we are surrounded by negative ions that positively affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. Therefore, we instantly feel an improvement in mood and energy efficiency after spending time in nature.

When heated, Amethyst naturally emits negative ions, thus boosting your wellness levels to assist the body in removing toxins and delivering oxygen and nutrients into the bloodstream.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF THE AMETHYST GEMSTONE?
The warm energy of Far infrared rays is common to all living things. We can experience this on a sunny day, where we can feel far infrared rays in the form of deep, internal warmth. Amethyst’s emits far infrared rays intensifies its benefits because far-infrared rays naturally have significant positive effects on human wellness; so, when combined with the amethyst stone, its effects are amplified in numerous ways;

1. It boosts Blood Circulation

Good circulation is vital to the body’s wellness; thus, heated Amethyst pressed against the skin helps to improve circulation so that oxygen and vital nutrient uptake can be improved to vital organs. Far-infrared radiation plus heat causes the body temperature to rise, expanding the blood vessels and leading to a temporary increase in circulation and heart rate.

2. It Helps Maximize Relaxation and Comfort

Amethyst has a well-documented history of being a soothing stone; many have sought it for its natural ability to relax the mind and body. The amethyst gem positively affects the body because it produces a steady stream of far infrared rays when it encounters heat—this includes body heat. Amethyst, when heated, emits far-infrared rays that have a calming effect on the body, which helps moderate and lower stress and tension.

It is often combined with meditation to maximize the user’s comfort and relaxation, giving the mind and body wellness benefits.

3. Assists in Stiffness and Tension Relief

There are two reasons why Amethyst is beneficial for loosening up muscles. First, the heated stones are in contact with the body. This heat and the FIR penetrate deep into the body, up to 20cm, releasing deep-penetrating far-infrared radiation. In this way, the FIR from Amethyst separates it from standard heat therapy.

Heating any stone can relieve tension on the surface—like a hot stone therapy session at the spa. However, far-infrared rays go much deeper than ordinary stones below the skin’s surface to penetrate the tension and stiffness, which is often hard to treat with most other methods.

Amethyst is a game changer. Unlike conventional means, Vs takes heat therapy, offering the body a tension-relieving experience.

CONCLUSION

You do not need to be a therapy specialist or gem guru to understand the exceptional healing capabilities of the Amethyst stone.

Recovery Systems Qi Mat – What are Gemstones

Gemstones can be organic matter, minerals, or even rocks selected for their attractiveness. This attractiveness is refined and polished to bring about human adornments or decorations. It is important to note that Gemstones and crystals are different. For a start, Gemstones are aesthetically appealing and available in all shapes and colours.

At the same time, crystals are mostly substances of smaller pieces formed into crystalline structures.

Interestingly, Gemstones are classified into two categories. They are Precious and Semi-precious. These classifications are to make some specific stones above others. Precious stones are not only durable and rare but also very beautiful. On the other hand, Semi-precious Gemstones are not fully endowed like precious stones, as they have just a few of those qualities. Despite all these known qualities, Gemstones have been around for ages as they are a sign of wealth, and they are indeed one of the most natural materials ever to grace the Earth.

As mentioned earlier, Gemstones have been around for centuries and have a wide range of history. They are known by many names, some prominent of which are Healing stones, crystals, mood stones, and others. Gems have served many purposes over the years, and that has not changed one bit.

Gemstones in Egyptian History

Ancient Egyptians were among the first to utilize Gemstones, dating back to 4000 BC. At that time, ancient Egyptians started putting different gemstone varieties like Amethyst and carnelian into jewellery. They crafted these pieces into beaded necklaces. Many people feel that ancient Egypt’s Gemstones and jewellery are some of the most important creations. Ancient Egyptians wore jewellery to protect, enhance social status, and enhance a person’s appearance.

There were different Gemstones in ancient Egyptian history. However, the one that had more value was the lapis lazuli. This stone was perceived to be used by Cleopatra as an eye adornment. The lapis lazuli had religious importance attached to it, even as it has a dark blue lustre. Archaeologists found pieces of jewellery made from lapis lazuli upon discovering King Tut’s tomb around 1925.

Gemstones in Chinese History

In ancient China, Jade (nephrite) was the most precious stone. It was a symbol of moral integrity and purity. Because of its magical qualities and durability, jade was carved into countless objects. When one thinks of Jade gemstones, the first image that comes to mind is their beautiful green complexion.

In a similar fashion where we have the lapis lazuli in ancient Egypt, Jade was highly regarded as it was perceived and viewed as an imperial gem for those of higher authority. Most higher authorities gave it much regard because of the notion that once worn, it would eliminate or divert negative evil that comes across the wearer. Jade plaques were worn on imperial rulers who died to prevent decay on their bodies. In this generation, Jade is still a well-recognized gemstone in Chinese culture, and it is still popularly known in most parts of the world.

Gemstones in Ancient India and Hinduism

India was the primary supplier of gemstones worldwide for over 2000 years. Due to its cultural history, India has maintained a legacy spanning 5000 years and has some of the best jewelry pieces. There are large reserves of diamonds and other precious and semi-precious gemstones.

Gemstones in the Kashmir and Golconda regions.

Gemstones are believed to have spiritual powers and are somewhat related to the planets in Hinduism. Gemstones were perceived to have magical powers. Hence, they were used in Ayurvedic medicines after being crushed into powder form, which is still used today. In addition, they are very much used in the body to heal the seven chakra points. Artisans used faience, agate, and other semi-precious materials like steatite and decorated them in various patterns and dots.

Gemstones in Ancient Greece and Rome

The Greeks had a Gemstone cocoon, the power of Gods and Goddesses. Before their soldiers engaged in any battle, they smeared crushed hematite powder, which invariably gave them additional strength. Gemstones and their use date back to 1600 BC.

Many Greeks then believed they could not be intoxicated when drinking from amethyst vessels. The name “amethyst” in Greek work meant not intoxicated. This was why it was prominently used, especially the amethyst Gemstones.

The creation of the name “amethyst” was said to have sprung up after a conflict between the god of wine, Dionysus, and the goddess Artemis. The Romans carried the mantle and were conversant with the Amethyst. The Romans used gemstones mostly to carry out decorations and ceremonies.

Philly, the elder, in his book Natural History, could classify gemstones after travelling far and wide to easily detect them on the evidence of their sizes and colour. However, his classification was incorrect, but that was indeed just the first attempt as it led to future classification systems.

Gemstones in Modern History

Gemstones witnessed a rise in their use as more celebrities, politicians, and more prominent individuals were keen on using one. The use of Gemstones gave a wealthy and fashionable impression among the higher class. However, it did not stop as people felt compelled to use it due to its spiritual and religious purposes. Gemstones, as well as crystals, had high demands. This quest to find them (gemstones) was what led to colonialism. Many European nations were motivated to locate natural resources and gemstones, amongst other valuable treasures. Recently, Gemstones have served different purposes, spanning from health-related benefits to beautification and mind healing.
Gemstones are being used for a variety of things, Such as – FIR,

1. It boosts Blood Circulation

The far infrared supports healthy lung function. Plus, capillaries are expanded, stimulating oxygen and regeneration and increasing blood flow and circulation. In addition, activating the sebaceous glands benefits the skin. The pores are displaced through the skin, creating brighter and clearer skin.

2. It Helps Maximize Relaxation and Comfort.

Amethyst has a well-documented history of being a soothing stone; many have sought it for its natural ability to relax the mind and body. The amethyst gem has such a positive effect on the body. When heated, it produces a steady stream of far infrared rays, which, aside from minor pain relief, greatly relieves chronic fatigue syndrome and improves the quality of life because of FIR therapy. There has been much research on how efficient FIR can be for those with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and all the findings point to FIR therapy in dramatic improvements for CFS patients. Not in the least of these improvements is the ability to sleep pain-free.

It is often combined with meditation to maximize the user’s comfort and relaxation. Amethyst gemstones boost overall wellness by helping to balance the mind and body.

3. Assists in Stiffness and Tension Relief

There are two reasons why Amethyst is beneficial for loosening up muscles. Hot stones are in contact with the body, releasing deep, penetrating far-infrared radiation up to 20cm into the body. FIR is the game changer, and Amethyst separates itself from the traditional approach to heat therapy.

In addition, it would interest you to know that there is an element of Gemstones in our mats and products at Recovery Systems. As said countless times, Gemstones have therapeutic benefits that are helpful to individuals, and that is why we give them the utmost priority.

We value our customers’ wellness and are delighted to offer them this Best gemstone holistic approach to better health as you will see in our testimonials.

Overheating

Be mindful, especially when undergoing far infrared therapy, to avoid “overheating,” similar to the good things of life; using it in moderation or resulting in an adverse effect is essential. To determine which is suitable, the user must monitor the heat from the mat, which releases the far infrared. While it is necessary to note the level of comfort that is comfortable for you, it is beneficial and recommended every once in a while to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Still, when doing so, it should only be for a limited period. Increased levels of heat usually result in excessive sweating. for elderly users, it could bring about particular concerns due to the functionality of sweat glands, which reduce with age. Overheating could result in fatigue, dizziness, headaches, and nausea. To avoid such side effects, operating the mat at a responsible level and staying hydrated before and after using the mat is essential. Parents and guardians should also note that compared to adults, the internal temperature of children tends to increase at a much higher rate. This is why it is essential to closely monitor the state of children and communicate with a pediatrician before allowing your wards to use the mat.

Potential of Overheating

One primary concern to note, especially when undergoing far infrared therapy, is “overheating,” similar to the good things of life; it is essential to use it in moderation, or it may result in an adverse effect. The user must monitor the heat from the mat, which releases the far-infrared, to determine the suitable heat level. While it is necessary to note the level of comfort that is comfortable for you, it is beneficial and recommended every once in a while to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Still, when doing so, it should only be for a limited period. Increased heat levels usually result in excessive sweating, especially for elderly users; it could bring about particular concerns due to the functionality of sweat glands which reduce with age. Overheating could result in fatigue, dizziness, headaches, nausea, amongst others. To avoid such side effects, it is essential only to operate the mat at a responsible level. Parents and guardians should also note that compared to adults, the internal temperature of children tends to increase at a much higher rate. This is why it is essential to closely monitor the state of children and communicate with a paediatrician before allowing them to use the mat. It is highly recommended to stay hydrated while using the Qi Mat.

Usage & Tips

1. Drink plenty of water before and after use. Fluids help flush any toxins released during the session. Proper hydration also promotes all effects, improving detoxification caused by sweating.

2. If you use the mat at higher temperatures, your body may lose hydration faster than usual. Only sleep on a mat with lower heat settings. Extended use at high temperatures may result in dehydration.

3. Cover the mat with a mat protector or towel to protect it from sweat and your body from direct contact with hot gemstones. A cover does not reduce the effects of FIR, negative ions, or PEMF, but it helps to heat up the gemstones faster.

4. Before use, you may preheat your mat. Turn the mat on and set your desired temperature. Cover the whole mat with the optional foil blanket or any other material that would prevent heat from dissipating.

5. Depending on the temperature set, the mat may take 15 to 30 minutes to heat up.

6. The controller may get warm when the mat is on the highest heat level or if several functions are activated for a long duration. However, if the controller gets too hot or if you notice any smell, please turn off the mat immediately.

7. Start the first few sessions with a low temperature and short sessions. Gradually increase the temperature and duration as your body adapts to the mat’s effects. Pay attention to how you feel at different temperature settings and know how to adjust for the next session.

8. You can use your mat daily with low and medium settings. Use with caution at high temperatures, and you should not have more than one session per day. Use a mat with proper hydration and in accordance with the manual.

Recommended Temperature Settings

Heating the gemstones in the mat naturally releases far infrared rays and negative ions. You can adjust the strength of your exposure by adjusting the temperature of your mat. As a general rule of thumb, the higher you set the mat temperature, the shorter your session should be.

Begin with 37°C, the average human body temperature. Gradually adjust the temperature until you find a comfortable level. The gemstones used are natural heat conductors; they get hot quickly and release heat into the air.

35 – 40°C:
• Suitable for those who are heat sensitive and good for prolonged and overnight usage
• Promotes better sleep
• Provides mind and muscular relaxation
• Promotes cell regeneration

45 – 50°C:
• Good for cycles of 1 to 2 Hours, suitable for after-training or strenuous sports activities
• Provides temporary relief of joint pain, stiffness and minor muscle pain
• Provides muscular relaxation and a temporary increase in blood circulation. A comfortable temperature for the average person.

55 – 60°C:
• Good for cycles of 30 – 90 minutes
• Provides temporary relief of joint pain, stiffness and minor muscle pain
• Provides muscular relaxation and a temporary increase in blood circulation.
• Provides profound relaxation and helps to reduce stress, tension and anxiety.

65 – 70°C:
• Good for cycles of 30-60 minutes
• Provides sauna-level cleansing and detoxification of cellular waste with the effect of far infrared
• Improves blood circulation and speeds up the body’s own natural repair mechanisms due to far infrared heat

Maintenance and Cleaning

1. Cover the entire mat with the mat protector, blanket or towel to protect the body from direct heat and to protect the mat from sweat.

2. Wash the mat protector, blanket or towel regularly.

3. Before cleaning the mat, turn it off by pressing the Main Power Button on the controller and then disconnecting the controller plug from its power outlet.

4. Do not use detergents, flammable chemicals or solvents, such as benzene, thinners, or aggressive cleaning agents, on the controller or mat, as they may damage them.

5. Do not wash the controller or mat with water.

6. Do not put the controller or mat in a washing machine or dryer.

7. Do not get the mat wet. If you accidentally spill something onto the mat, clean the surface with a dry cloth and let it completely dry before using it again. Then, test it on high heat for an hour before laying your body on the mat. Remember that ironing the device is strictly prohibited.

8. To wipe off dirt and dust, use only a slightly wet cloth to clean or use a vacuum to remove any dust from the mat’s surface.

9. To completely self-clean and disinfect, leave the mat with protectors on high heat for 1 hour each week or set the mat on high heat for 10 minutes after each use to allow moisture to evaporate.

10. Do not leave your mat unattended while it is powered on.

11. To fold the mat, disconnect the controller power plug from the power outlet, then unplug from the mat’s power port. Next, fold the mat inward at predetermined places. All mats with additional functions such as PEMF or Photon Red Light or large sized are rather firm, try not to bend a firm mat in unusual places. Mat will last longer if it is folded and kept properly.

12. To store your mat and controller, make sure the mat has cooled down before placing them in the bag provided. Keep the mat in a dry and ventilated place.

Equine air compression massagers

(Equine air compression boots)

FAQ

What are Equine air compression massagers, and how do they work?

Recovery Systems Equine offers an air compression massager designed for horses. This massager uses intermittent air compression to massage the horse’s legs, promoting faster healing and recovery.

The wrap fills with air and squeezes the legs like a blood pressure cuff. Then, the wrap deflates and relaxes. The inflating and deflating process repeats over and over during the treatment cycle. The compression helps move blood through the veins towards the heart and promotes the natural release of metabolic waste. Between compressions, the leg wraps relax, and oxygen-rich blood returns, delivering fresh nutrients to speed up recovery.

Many owners have found the wraps beneficial for warming up their horses. Ten minutes on the wraps boost muscle oxygenation like a 30-minute jog.

Not just for recovery, these wraps are versatile tools. They are equally effective in rehabilitation and ensuring your horse stays relaxed during transport, making them a must-have for every horse owner.

The wraps can be used on the front or hind legs.

Recovery Systems Equine is the Best Equine air compression massager.

We designed our products with Intermittent Pneumatic Compression technology, which employs air inflating and deflating to fill the leg wraps. The repeated process of squeezing and releasing the leg wraps speeds up the elimination of swelling in horses, a classic post-workout symptom.

Aside from faster removal of waste products and delivery of fresh nutrients for speedier healing and recovery, it also improves joint awareness, movement efficiency, and, more importantly, a reduction of soreness, getting the horse ready for action again sooner.

Most importantly, the battery-powered Equine air compression massager is portable, so it can be used at any time and anywhere.

Can I use Equine air compression massager to manage and improve injuries of my horse?

Yes, regardless of the discipline, the Recovery Systems air horse compression boots can effectively treat and alleviate the symptoms of the most common lower limb ailments and challenges, including:

– Limb swelling, stiffness, and soreness

– Forelimb swelling and trauma

– swollen tendons

– Laminitis

– Windgalls

The increased blood flow has a positive effect on healing and recovery. For injuries, please consult your veterinarian before using the product. (we have many vets using our Equine wraps; see our testimonials for their stories and videos)

What result should I expect from equine air compression massager on my horse?

Use of the product shows improved recovery, rehabilitation, mobility, and maintenance of the horse’s peak condition. The pressure of the squeeze and release function of the Equine wraps is around ten times that of static compression, greatly influencing blood flow and the associated healing.

It utilizes intermittent compression to speed up the horse’s natural recovery process, providing quicker recovery times than traditional solutions, including compression wraps, massage, or rest.

What are the main treatment modes for Equine air compression boots ?

Warm up – all chambers are on, then off, in a 45-second cycle for 15 minutes, and shut down. This mode effectively boosts muscle oxygen in the horse’s legs; 10 to 15 minutes is all that is needed.

Recovery involves filling in a sequence from hoof to knee before pausing, deflating, and repeating. The treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes and can be repeated as required.

Rehab – Our gentlest mode for injury and rehab of various conditions. Filling one zone at a time, on then off, on a 15 sec cycle with 15 sec off phase at the end of cycle. Max pressure is reduced to 100mmhg in this mode in 4 steps – 25,50,75 and 100mmhg

Travel: To keep your horse relaxed during transport In horse floats, trailers or flights, etc. – filling in a sequence hoof to knee before pausing, deflating and repeating. The treatment is intermittent – The controller timer is on for 15 minutes; wait for 15 minutes, and repeat until the battery is flat or the device is switched off.

Does Recovery Systems equine air compression massager use ice or cold air in its treatment?

No. Ice or cold air slows the circulation and delays recovery.

In addition, immersing in cold water post-workout can hinder muscle recovery and reduce long-term gains in muscle mass and strength. Cold water reduces blood flow to the muscles, inhibiting muscle cell recovery. Cold treatment is mainly used for trauma treatment rather than day-to-day recovery. We do have a different solution for trauma-related injuries.

What is the difference between static compression garments and Recovery Systems Equine intermittent compression boots?

Static compression wraps typically produce around 20 mmHg of pressure, resulting in a limited increase in blood flow due to their static nature. In contrast, Recovery Systems apply a pressure of around 200 mmHg during the squeeze and release function, significantly enhancing blood flow and the associated healing process.

Here’s how they work in 2 phases:

Squeeze Phase:

Recovery Systems utilize various treatment modes that closely mimic the body’s natural recovery process. This enhances the movement of fluid and waste out of the limbs after intense physical activity and actively moves blood through the veins towards the heart. The continuous squeeze or compression phase, lasting around 1 minute, effectively maintains fluid movement in the right direction. It’s a dynamic, active solution with a pressure ten times that of a static compression wrap.

Release Phase:

The release phase, lasting around 20 seconds, is a crucial part of the Recovery System. During this phase, the leg wraps relax, allowing oxygen-rich blood to continue flowing in the arteries of the legs. This process accelerates the transport of fresh nutrients back to the muscles, promoting faster healing, recovery, and gains. It’s a versatile solution, perfect for warmups, recovery from daily training, and rehabilitation.

What is Equine Osteoarthritis ?

Can the Recovery Systems Equine air compression massager help with Equine lameness ?

Yes –

Both horses and humans have historically required time- and labour-intensive treatments for Lymphedema, involving carefully designed massage techniques to promote lymph drainage, followed by specific bandaging techniques, skincare, and custom exercise programs. However, these treatments often produce insignificant and short-lived improvements, highlighting the need for a more effective solution.”

There is increasing evidence and successful results for Recovery Systems air compression boots, which use intermittent pneumatics to massage horses’ legs. These boots have proven to be a valuable tool in managing equine Lymphedema.

Inspired by proven results in human lymphedema patients using pneumatic compression garments, Recovery Systems launched similar garments adapted for horses in 2019.

The commercially available device comprises knee-length garments with an inbuilt battery-powered microcontroller with Equine Warmup, recovery, Rehab, and Transport programs.

The hoof-to-knee garments inflate and deflate from hoof to knee at preset pressures, creating a ripple effect of upward compression. This innovative approach enhances lymphatic flow, potentially relieving horses suffering from chronic progressive Lymphedema, lymphangitis, cellulitis, or other lymphatic system issues.

It only takes one minute to fit Recovery Systems Equine air compression massager, and Horses enjoy the treatment and are generally relaxed to the point of dozing off.
