1.
It usually takes around 30-60 minutes for the Belt to reach
the maximum temperature if you put both a thick protector
and a thick blanket on top
. Cover the belt with a blanket and
leave it periodically, checking how hot it is under the blanket.
2. The
heating process stops and resumes again when the belt
cools down, to maintain the set temperature
. During this
time, the gems become very warm and emit radiant Far Infra-
Red rays.
3. For extra electrical safety the heating wires are positioned a short
distance from the belt’s edges so that the end tubes with crystals
are heated indirectly by other stones. It is normal when
these
close to edges of the belt stones have a lower temperature
.
4. When the heat is on, the surface temperature of the bare belt under
the blanket, or under your body if you are on the belt, becomes
hot to touch.
At maximum heat level it will reach 140-150°F
(60-65°C) on the surface, if measured immediately after you
stand up or remove the thick blanket or pillow. But if you
measure the bare belt surface temperature in several minutes
again it will be much lower, around 110-130°F (40-50°C)
. If
the belt is uncovered, and room temperature is low or the air flow
is strong, it will cool the belt very quickly. This is normal – when
preheated, the crystals transfer most of the energy in the form of
Far Infrared Rays very quickly.
5. If you keep your belt open without the protector pad, blanket, or
your body on it, the heat is dissipated – and though the controller
may continue to show rather high temperature inside the belt’s
heating elements,
the surface will be merely warm to touch
even on highest level
.
6. Sometimes when the belt starts to heat some humming or buzz
noise can be heard from the controller which is quite normal. But
if the noise gets stronger or you feel any smell or other signs
of possible controller or belt failure, please stop using the
belt
.
TIPS: BEFORE YOU START
TIPS: USING YOUR BELT
1. Please
study the Catalog and User Guide
included with the belt
before first use. The belt is easy to operate but the User Guide has
important safety information and a lot of different useful tips that
may help you get more benefits and accelerate the learning curve.
Be sure to
completely study the list of contraindications and
discuss them with a health professional
.
2. Subscribe to MediCrystal® on youtube for educational videos.

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 Therapy, doctors usually can give
good advice about how such or similar well-known technologies
like sauna therapy will work, especially in the case of any existing
health condition.
4. When you get the box with your belt, if it is too cold or too hot or
wet outside, please,
keep the belt inside for an hour
to adjust to
room temperature and humidity before connecting to the power
socket. Open the box and take out the belt carefully, especially
if it is a large size belt. It may be too heavy and you may need
someone’s help. Check that all accessories are included.
Put the
belt on the floor, bed or other flat surface with the crystals
side facing up
.
5. Our belts have special layers in the bottom that reflect the heat
upwards. But
if you use your belt 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 under the belt
to
dissipate any remaining heat.
6. If your area is subject to frequent electrical blackouts or power
spikes,
it could be better to connect the device to electricity
through a surge protector
, AVR or UPS device similar to that
one which protects computers or refrigerators. It will protect the
controller from any malfunctions resulting from a power surge.
Please remember
to turn the controller OFF and unplug the belt
from the power socket after use
.
7. The first heating of the belt should be to
test the belt at the
highest temperature level
(70°C equal to 158°F) for 2-3 hours.
This will also help purge any possible odors from the fabric and
other layers’ remaining volatile particles. If you are oversensitive
to smells you may choose to air it out in a garage overnight. Our
belts are made from the highest quality, ‘zero-emission’ materials
but it is still better to do this. Do not put the protector on the belt
or lay on it during this time.
8.
Find a secure, dedicated area with calm surrounding and good
time to use your belt
with some degree of concentration. Put up
“do not disturb signs” and play some soothing music to enhance
the healing process. Put on comfortable sleepwear and relax. It
may be a good idea to
clean and scrub your body to open the
pores before your sessions
, as this will facilitate sweating and
detoxification. You can preheat your Belt and wear it concealed
under clothes walking or running outside.

TIPS: USE WITH CAUTION*
7. It is OK for the controller to warm up a little when the belt is on
the highest heat level for a long time. But
it is not normal if the
controller gets really hot or if you notice any smell
. Please turn
off the belt and contact us for a free replacement if this happens.
Remember not to put controller on the belt heating pad, even
if it is cool. It may heat up and damage the controller
.
8. The most frequent reason for initial controller malfunction is an
incorrect order of connection.
It is necessary to connect the
belt to the controller first, TIGHTLY, and only after this should
you plug the controller into the outlet, then turn it on and set
the timer
. After this you may set desired temperature.
When you
disconnect, first turn the controller to OFF, then disconnect
the plug from the socket – and only after this (and only if it is
necessary), unplug the controller from the belt
.
9.
Do not disconnect the controller from the belt more frequently
than necessary
, in order to avoid the connection becoming
loose. If you connect the controller to the power source first
(before connecting it to the belt),
the safety program will lock
the controller and put it in ‘safe’ mode
. It may start to beep or
will show OF or other error code on the screen. To reactivate the
controller simply reconnect it in the correct order.
10. Choose the best position. FIR amethyst rays penetrate your body,
then improved circulation spreads the warmer blood to replace
cooler blood – and finally due to bioresonant effects the cells’
mitochondria start to produce energy themselves,
this is why
even after you finish the procedure your body temperature
may stay elevated for up to 8 hours, which is good for
activity, immune health and rejuvenation
. But there is also the
local effect when those organs and tissues which are closest to
the belt receive more heat. It may be beneficial for them, but the
highest levels may also cause some issues with movement if you
have stones, etc.*
11.
If belt is too hard for you, put the cover included into the set on
the belt to cushion it and eliminate the crystals’ pressure
. You
can also add several layers of bamboo, cotton sheets or towels on
top of your belt pad cover to make your belt even softer. As soon
as your body gets accustomed to the crystals’ pressure
you may
choose to remove the extra layers one-by-one
. Protectors and
towels are great for sweat absorption during heating procedures
or for cushioning but if you need maximum effect you may use the
belt with the cover just on top of a thin T-shirt. With FIR therapy,
some of the heating rays will dissipate if you use a thicker layer on
top of the belt and under your body. The same applies to negative
ions, but most will still travel through.
12.
Always keep your Waterproof Protector on the belt to protect
it from spills and dirt
. But even if your belt occasionally gets wet,
do not worry, it has waterproof layers inside. Just let it completely
dry before using it again if it gets wet.
13.
Be careful with your first procedure. Use a slow and continuous
mode of increasing session intensity
. Begin with temperature
levels as low as 96°–112°F (35-45°C) and short sessions, no more
than a half hour, and gradually increase the length and intensity
for several minutes and/or degrees every other day.
Remember
to drink a lot of water, fresh juices, or herbal teas. Replenish
minerals to avoid becoming drained or dehydrated
. When you
start it is important to avoid overuse, and low temperature burns
and get the first benefits in a safe manner without the risks of side
effects from a “healing crisis”.
14.
Most important is to listen to your body as you move forward –
“LOW and SLOW”
. It is easy to overdo if you move ahead too
quickly, and the cumulative effects are much more desirable
without the lightheadedness or other side effects that can come
with rapid detoxification. The maximum time for each heat
level is not specified. It depends on the temperature level, and
one’s age, health, body size and composition, and many other
factors.
Basically, the main rule is to start with low settings
and gradually increase the intensity, length and frequency of
sessions
. Of course if you are an experienced FIR sauna user, you
can start with the maximum temperature level, or you can even
use the belt while laying on your whole body MediCrystal® mat to
intensify the procedure, but we always recommend checking with
your doctor first and using common sense to avoid overuse.
15.
As soon as you are sure that your body reacts fine, you can
use your belt as long as you like. Unless you have special
needs, you can use it from a few times a week for 30 minutes
to 12 hours daily and it should be an enjoyable process
. If
you want an intensive sweating sauna-like detox, choose the
maximum temperature suitable for your health and cover your
body with a blanket. If you just want comfort, set the medium
heat levels at around 112–122°F (45-50°C). If you are just
starting out 20 minutes may be enough. Different people react
differently and enjoy different modes. Some folks with weakness
caused by hypothermia use FIR belts all the time on slightly
warm temperature to revive and feel well again. Other people
use amethyst heating belts from one hour on high temperature
to 12 hours on warm temperature. Be sure that procedures are
comfortable for you and bring about a better feeling and more
energy, and of course remember to get approval from a health
professional.
16. If you accelerate this way, the first aim is to create a feeling of
relaxation.
To relax, the standard procedure is to have a short
session before bed of about half an hour, starting at 40-50°C,
and then decreasing to the lowest levels of 30-40°C
. If these
levels cause any lightheaded feeling or overstimulation, the
temperature should be set even lower or even the belt should be
used in unpowered mode. Especially in the summer, when it can
absorb some excess heat from your body and naturally return it in
the form of radiant crystal rays to those parts of your body which
need better circulation.*
17.
It may be impossible to cause sweating using only the belt, but
it is quite feasible if you combine it with a mini or larger mat.
Sweating is great for detoxifying the body but all intensive high
heat procedures should be done only with proper rehydration
and electrolyte replenishment, and within the first half of the
day
. It may take up to an hour to preheat the belt under a thick
blanket to a high heat level. Then you can lay on your back on a
bare belt, or a belt with a thin protector or a towel on it and cover
yourself with a blanket. After the procedure, just leave the bare
belt for half hour more while still heating to dry it out. Of course
if your body does not sweat much, you may not start to sweat
from the first procedure – but after several sessions it should
come
. Drink a lot of hot herbal teas (not cold drinks) before and
during the procedure to accelerate sweating. When your body gets
used to sweating it will be easier to sweat voluntarily.*
18.
For FIR Heating, if you lay bare on the bare mat with a belt on
your body and covered with a thick blanket, you will get the
maximum “detox” effect, as no heat will be lost or dissipated
.
All crystal rays will be radiated into your body.
Some advanced
customers even use foil blankets reflecting FIR Rays back to
the body, but it is very intensive therapy and it cannot be
recommended without a doctor’s approval
. Sweat releases a
lot of toxins, and the belt releases even those stored in deep
fat tissue, into the blood. It may be irritating and erosive to
the surface of the belt. That is why something like a sheet or
a protector cover under your body is must-have for everybody.
Perspiration may also temporarily make you feel worse, but when
the sweat is out you should feel refreshed. This procedure is used
is some Swiss clinics under medical supervision and brings great
results.*
19. Wearing clothes or using covers or sheets on the belt hinders some
of the anion effects, but it should not be an obstacle to FIR Heat.
20. If you are falling asleep while wearing the belt, choose
30°C to
45°C or 86°-110°F low level of FIR Heat before going to bed
.*
21. Getting a headache or feeling dizzy is a sign of “healing crisis”
(dehydration). It means that you are detoxing too fast.
Lower
the temperature, drink more water and stay on the belt for
shorter time
. It is important to feel comfortable and enjoy
your experience, so listen to your body and adjust procedures
accordingly.
1.
Extra care is necessary if you are diagnosed with diabetes
. If
patient has a lot of sugar in the blood, it clots the blood vessels
and causes nerve disorders. Some people with diabetes can, over
time, develop nerve damage throughout the body. It is called
diabetic neuropathy. If you have diabetic neuropathy and loss of
sensitivity you should use a strict time/frequency/temperature
protocol established by your doctor, and only under supervision.
You should start very slowly and monitor your blood sugar.*
2. Titanium pins, rods, artificial joints or any other modern surgical
implants usually reflect FIR rays so they should be generally safe.
But some joint replacements and piercings with other metals may
