CONTRAINDICATIONS*
The following may not be a full list of contraindications but if you
have any of them, avoid use of the far infrared mat, belt or wraps in
heating mode completely (unless you get approval from your doctor).
Remember that it is your responsibility to seek the attention of a
health care professional before and during the use of this product,
which is not marketed as a medical device, nor claimed to be able
to heal or cure any sickness.
1. The recipients of any type of organ transplant should not use any
FIR pads. After organ transplant operations, patients usually are
prescribed immunosuppressant drugs to help prevent their immune
system from rejecting the transplanted organs. FIR and hot stone
sessions increase immune system function which is absolutely
contraindicated for organ transplant recipients.*
2. Pacemakers and defibrillators users should not use FIR mats, belts or
wraps in powered modes without cardiologist approval. The function
of these products may be interfered with by the belts’ or wraps’
magnetic or heating functions.*
3. Expectant women should not use the heating practices. Excessive
temperatures have a potential for fetal damage. If pregnancy is
possible you should be able to use your mat, belt or pad in unpowered
mode for ion function but be sure to consult a physician before using
it for heating.*
4. Newborns and infants should not use the heat function. Their core body
temperature rises much faster than that of adults. This occurs due to
a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation
to increased cardiac demands, and the inability to regulate body
temperature by sweating as well as adults are able to. Do not use your
mat, belt or wraps in heating modes on babies who cannot move away
or on children who cannot speak enough well to express themselves.*
5. Avoid use of the products in heating mode completely (unless you
get approval from your doctor) in the case of a recent stroke, aortic
stenosis, myocardial infarction, heart attack, unstable angina
pectoris, if you take corticosteroids or have brain or other tumors.*
6. Anybody with diseases associated with a reduced ability to sweat or
insensitivity to heat should use products without heat, in negative
ions mode. Diabetic neuropathy may be a contraindication because
some diabetic patients loose sensitivity to heat.*
7. Nobody with diagnosed diseases, ailments or medical conditions
should ever use these products without approval from and/or
supervision of a physician. It may be extremely dangerous to raise the
body temperature to high levels for people with: Adrenal suppression
disorders, Addison’s disease, adrenal Insufficiency, systematic
lupus erythematous, multiple sclerosis (MS), brain tumors, bypass
surgery, high hypertension or some other conditions.*
8. Anybody taking medications or currently going under medical
treatments, radiation or chemotherapy should consult a physician
before using the products in heating mode. Some medicines as
diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair the body’s
natural heat loss mechanisms. Some over the counter drugs such as
antihistamines, blood thinners may also cause the body to be more
prone to heat stroke. Sleeping aids, pain killers, narcotics, anti-
psychotic medicines may be the most dangerous in impairing one’s
judgement. People under influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxication
as well as patients with mental impairments or dementia should never
use the hot stone mats,pads, wraps, belt or other heating devices.*
9. Anybody experiencing a high fever should not use theproducts in
heating mode. Only the negative ions function can be used until the
fever stops.*
10. If you use heating creams or balms, liniments, salves or ointments
that contain heatproducing ingredients, you should never use them
with the belts, pads, wraps, mats unless recommended by a health
care professional so as to avoid burns.*
11. Anybody with fresh wounds, trauma, joint injuries or swollen hot joints
where the cold practices is necessary should not use any FIR mat, belt or
pad in heating mode, so as to avoid exacerbating any inflammation.*
12. Anyone with a mental or physical disability or those with limited
mobility should use MediCrystal® products in the negative-ions-only
mode unless under full supervision of a medical professional and
have a doctor’s approval.*
13. It is not recommended to use any part of the heating area of
your product directly on your head. Our brains do not have same
efficient cooling system as the other body does. Use a pillow as a
barrier between your head and the mat if you plan to sleep on it.
The special MediCrystal® Amethyst Pillow with crystals is strongly
recommended to keep your head elevated and cool.*
14. Stop using the products if any known conditions worsen while using
it. Pain should not be experienced when using them. However,
the infrared heat will go to areas of disease or discomfort – some
people may perceive this as pain and others as a sensation. If pain is
persistent, discontinue use.*
If you have any of these conditions, avoid using the products
completely unless under the care of a doctor with expertise in hot
stone or sauna detoxification.
While the above are some of the conditions which may pose dangers
definitely check with your doctor or a health professional experienced
in Far Infrared or sauna practices about your specific medical condition.
Remember that it is very important to properly hydrate with
pure and mineralized water before and after sessions especially if
you sweat and loose electrolytes. It will help to avoid dry mouth
feeling, weekness and other symptoms of dehydration. A general
rule of thumb is to never begin a session thirsty or dehydrated and
drink a lot of mineral water, herbal teas or juices.

3.
Consult your doctor how to use
, especially it is important if you have
any chronic disease. Even if your health professional is not familiar
with hot crystal FIR, doctors usually can give good advice about how
such or similar well-known technologies like sauna or heating pads
will work, especially in the case of any existing health condition.
4. When you get the box with your product, if it is too cold or too
hot or wet outside, please,
keep it inside for an hour
to adjust
to room temperature and humidity before connecting to the
power socket. Open the box and take out your product carefully,
especially if it is a heavy one you may need someone’s help.

.
5. Our products have special layers in the bottom that reflect the heat
upwards. But
if you use them laying on a hardwood floor or on a
memory foam mattress and the heating pad is under your body, it
may be better to put a towel beneath
to dissipate any remaining heat.
6. If your area is subject to frequent electrical blackouts or power
spikes,
it could be better to connect your product to electricity
