Question 1

Can you explain what tourmaline is?

Accepted Answer

Tourmaline is a group of minerals that share a similar crystal structure but contain different elements. It comes in many colors and is often mistaken for other gemstones.

Question 2

What elements make up tourmaline?

Accepted Answer

Tourmaline is made up of a variety of elements including aluminum, boron, silicon, chromium, oxygen, hydrogen, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and lithium. Despite its complex chemical formula, the aluminum in tourmaline does not enter the human body, so there's no need to worry!

Question 3

How does tourmaline benefit my health?

Accepted Answer

Tourmaline is a therapeutic mineral that boosts the flow of chi energy and reduces oxidative stress, supporting your overall health and wellness. It also increases blood flow and oxygen concentration, and can even help generate new blood vessels.

Question 4

Are there other energies that tourmaline can emit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are two other energies that tourmaline crystals can produce: 
Tourmaline crystals are piezoelectric, which means that when a crystal is heated, from body heat, compressed or vibrated, the tourmaline can convert that energy into an electrical potential charge. This charge will form at opposite ends of the crystal. This produces negative ions, which are associated with a more alkaline body pH, scavenging free radicals, reducing inflammation, healing at a more rapid rate and anti-aging. 
 
Tourmaline crystals are also pyroelectric, which means that they can generate a weak electric current from being stimulated by heat, compression, or vibration. This is like having a tens unit without batteries.

Question 5

Is the tourmaline particle size important?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Tourmaline powders exhibit improved far infrared emission properties as the particle size decreases. Tourmaline works best with nanometer sized particles, which are the smallest particles that can be manufactured today. That is why we use nanometer size tourmaline particles in our products.

Question 6

What is so special about far infrared energy?

Accepted Answer

Far infrared energy can stimulate cells and tissues to recover and heal more rapidly. Far infrared has been used in saunas for healing for thousands of years. It is considered a promising treatment modality for healing.

Question 7

Why do tourmaline products feel warm?

Accepted Answer

Tourmaline products are energy efficient. They absorb your body heat and transform it into far infrared energy, which is then transmitted back into your body for therapeutic benefits.

Question 8

Are the pet mats safe for pets

Accepted Answer

Yes - tourmaline is non-toxic for pets (and humans) but if your pet somehow consumes the mat, as with any substance your pet consumes that they should not - contact your pet’s veterinarian.

Question 9

What is the material of the pet mat?

Accepted Answer

92% Polyester, 8% Acrylic with the active ingredient of watermelon tourmaline.

Question 10

What is so special about the tourmaline in the mats?

Accepted Answer

The crystal tourmaline emits far infrared energy, which stimulates cells and tissues to recover and heal more rapidly. Used in saunas for healing for thousands of years, far infrared energy has been considered a promising treatment modality for healing.
 
Tourmaline reduces oxidative stress, and helps to maintain health and wellness. Tourmaline also increases blood flow.

Question 11

Is the pet mat available in multiple sizes?

Accepted Answer

Yes - the mat comes in x-small, small, medium, large, extra large and XX large.

Question 12

Can I wash the pet mat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the pet mats can be machine washed on warm and tumble dry. This will not adversely affect the adherence of the tourmaline to the mat. Do not use bleach.

Question 13

How long should I wear the Miracle Tape?

Accepted Answer

You can wear the Miracle Tape for at least three days. Feel free to shower, bathe, or swim with it on – these activities won't reduce its therapeutic benefits. The tape is designed to breathe and won't trap water. Just pat it dry with a towel if it gets wet, and it will dry on its own.

Question 14

How do I best remove the Miracle Tape?

Accepted Answer

We recommend removing the tape in the shower, with soap and water.
