ThermoGem™ belts and wraps have been carefully engineered for both
effectiveness and safety. But of course basic safety precautions should
always be observed when using any electrical device.
1. Never immerse the belt or wraps in water, do not use the product
in wet or excessively humid areas. Do not use it when your hands
or body are wet.
2. Changes or modifications to the products can be dangerous and
may cause electric shock. Do not disassemble anything while the
power is ON.
3. Do not put heavy objects on the belt’s pad or wraps. Do not prick
the belt pad or wraps with pins, knives or sharp objects. Do not
step, walk, jump, run and avoid other types of pressure which can
damage inner sensors.
4. Do not put chemicals, solvents, volatile or flammable materials
such as benzene, thinner or kerosene on the belt or wraps.
5. Make sure that the receptacle where you plan to plug the belt
or hands wrap has the same voltage rating as the specifications
indicated for each product (usually 110-120V/60Hz for North
America and Japan and 220-250V/50Hz for Europe and other
countries). Do not use travel adaptors in order not to damage your
belt or wraps and controller.
6. If your belt or wraps are made for U.S. electricity, 110-120V/60Hz,
with plugs for a standard U.S. grounded socket to use in 220-
250V countries, please purchase a step down power converter
transforming 220-240V to 110V. For these products we recommend
power converters with 150-200W capacity.
7. Always remember to turn off the electrical supply when not in use.
When unplugging device, do not attempt to pull the cord, pull it
out by holding the plug.
8. To protect your belt and wraps, use a surge protector. Power spike is
the main reason why a belt or hands wrap would ever malfunction,
an electrical surge kills the controller and renders the belt or wraps
unusable until a new controller is purchased.
9. Do not use the products when the cord is damaged or if the electrical
outlet is excessively loose, find another socket that will correctly
hold the plug. Do not use the belt or wraps if they are damaged or if
connection between the pad with crystals and controller is not tight.
10. Your product has double safety advanced EMF free heating system
with emergency bimetal switches physically cutting off the electrical
wires if the main pad’s thermostat safety system fails and it overheats
to 180 °F (75 °C). Anyhow stop using and immediately unplug
the product from its power source (wall outlet) if you experience
strange conditions such as smell, smoke, shocks and/or fire.
11. Clean the product only when the power is off and the controller is
unplugged from the AC outlet.
12. While heating
NEVER
put on the mat foam, rubber, yoga, camp
pads, mats, non-permeable covers or too thick (more than one
inch) plies of towels or heavy blankets to avoid overheating,
malfunction and fire risks. If the topper you use on the heating mat
is not permeable (like rubber), it will trap the FIR heat, and the mat
will regularly overheat. Though, in this case, bimetal switches cut-
off electricity, when they work permanently, they wear off fast, and
the fire danger goes up. This safety feature is designed to stop the
mat overheating only in emergency case if the controller fails. It is
not intended to operate as the main thermostat. If the whole mat is
covered with non-permeable material and continuously overheats,
the bimetal switches function all the time and wear-off. If they fail,
the mat will not be protected from overheating or fire risks.
13.
NEVER
leave your mat unattended while heating up.
NEVER
heat
it in folded or rolled condition.
NEVER
put any solid objects such
as pillows, laptops, books, controllers, bags, etc. on the heating
surface of the thermal mat, since the heating system can burn it
and damage the mat. Bimetal switches work to protect the mat with
a body on it, or if the entire heating surface is covered uniformly
and only with porous layers. Emergency protection system may not
stop local overheat if it takes place only on a small part of the mat,
where there are no temperature sensors or bimetal switches.

1. ThermoGem™ Belt is great for the lumbar, waist, lower back or
abdomen. It consists of belt strap with Velcro fasteners and our
smallest multilayer ThermoGem™ Pad attached on the strap. The
size of the
standard Belt heating pad is 8”x18” (20x45 cm)
and it contains 1.5 pounds of crushed natural amethyst.
XL Belt
pad is 8”x21” (20x52 cm)
and it is filled with almost 2 pounds of
amethyst.
2. Belt straps with Velcro fasteners are
55” (140 cm) long for
standard Belt to fit waists up to 50”
. The strap of
XL Belt is 63”
(160 cm) long and it is OK for waist up to 58”
. If you are slim
better to choose the standard strap.
3.
The flexible 20”×18” (50×45cm) amethyst heating pad is mainly
used as hands or legs wraps.
It is designed to focus on a specific
area of discomfort. The wrap is built with almost 4 pounds of crushed
natural amethyst crystals. These pads have Velcro straps to fit both
left and right arms or legs of almost any size. Tension and muscle
relaxing hot stone warmth is combined with deep penetrating far
infrared rays, and calming negative ion function. You can envelop
your arms, hands, and wrists with soothing warmth and comfort.
May be helpful for your arms, hands, forearms and wrists but can also
be used on your legs and ankles or even for the lower back.
4. Your belt set should include, free of charge, a
Thick High
Absorption Waterproof Quilted Multilayer Protector with
4-cornered elastic straps
to fix it on the belt pad. The cover is
breathable and permeable for FIR rays and ions. It is great for
absorbing sweat and for keeping the contact surfaces between the
body and the belt dry.
This protector is machine washable on
gentle or hand wash cycle. Air drying is recommended
. If you
do not have a cover or it is warn, you may use a towel instead.
5. The Belt and the wrapping pad are built with EMF free heating
systems but if you are sensitive,
it is possible to preheat and
use them in unpowered mode simply unplugging from the
power outlet
. You can put the Belt on to walk outside or to lay
in the bed before sleeping. Hot gems accumulate warmth and
transfer it in gentle and pleasant manner until they reach your
body temperature. But even then crystals will continue to use
your own body warmth to emit FIR rays and return warmth to
those parts of your body which need it.
6. ThermoGem™ Belt and wraps have a multilayer system construction
with up to 16 different layers. The
special layers (with anion
generating fibers) are added so that the belts or wraps generate
negative ions
when they are turned on and functioning. Controllers do
not have the option to activate negative ion generation from the inner
belt or wraps layers because the ions generation starts automatically
when the belt or wraps are heating up, due to the piezoelectric and
pyroelectric effects caused by the distorted crystallographic structure
of the anion generating layers and natural amethyst crystals. Negative
ion generation will decrease when the belt or wraps cool down.
The
number of ions goes up when you carry even the non-powered belt
or wraps as gemstones and negative ion generating layers start to
use your natural body heat to produce anions
.
7. The outlets, bimetal safety switches, connectors, and controllers of
all electrical appliances including all brands of hot stone mats may
emit relatively higher levels up to 4-8 mG. Though it is generally
safe, and falls down to zero several inches away, if you are EMF
oversensitive, it is better to keep the controller away from your
head. Also, it is better to use the amethyst pillow or at least a
regular one to avoid occasional contacts between your head and
the mat connector near the logo on the top of the mat. Or you can
lay on the mat with your feet towards the connector. I
f you do
not feel comfortable on the powered mat, you can eliminate
exposure to any electricity just by preheating your stone
mattress to the maximum heat and unplugging it from the
power outlet before you lie on it.
Hot crystals accumulate the
warmth and will naturally release it without electric power. It is
the best practice for long all-night sessions to avoid dehydration,
overstimulation, and buzz or dry mouth effects. Even after the mat
cools down, it utilizes your body warmth to emit infrared rays and
negative ions naturally and safe.
8.
We use the best in the industry advanced EMF-free heating
systems since 2016.
Though the specification states maximum
2 mG emission from the heating surface, the real tests with
professional EMFs measuring devices show max 0.2 mG emission.
It is even closer to zero because when we test the background
EMFs on the unplugged mat, it is usually the same as on the
heating mat. You can check our videos for EMFs measurements on
MediCrystal youtube channel. Please disregard outdated, false or
non-professional information or videos about EMFs testing posted
on the internet by unfair competitors. Fortunately, nowadays the
testers are affordable for everyone, and the best practice is to
check EMFs of the mat and other home appliances yourself. The
best EMFs meters for home use combine simplicity, sensitivity to
electric and magnetic waves in a broad range, and ability to filter
out the noise distortions or measurement errors. We recommend
an easy to use the “K2 EMFs meter” manufactured in the U.S. and
available on Amazon for $60. This meter covers frequencies from
50 to 20,000 Hz and works fine instantly measuring EMFs of any
appliances.
9. Due to the artisan nature of the construction process
there
is some difference between belts or wraps regarding the
maximum temperature they may reach in the same conditions
and the heating speed
. If the belt or wrapping pad is covered
with thick blanket or it is on your body, the max level of their bare
surface temperature may be in the range of 55-65 °C or 133–158
°F (displayed by the controller measuring the temperature of the
heating elements inside the belt or hands wrap as 65-72 °C),
which is quite normal.
It is very important that you cover belt’s
or wrap’s pad COMPLETELY while preheating it.
If you cover
it partially the temperature sensors positioned in the different
layers around all the surface will report different and controvercial
measurements to the main controller. Finally controller may loose
calibration and start to work incorrectly or malfunction.
10.
The heated amethyst pad can be disconnected from the belt
strap and used as a small amethyst mat on the local areas of the
body
. It is usually used for shoulders, knees, elbows, neck, hands,
legs and any other parts of the body. Detachable pad is great for
localized use, when you need to apply crystal rays and
focus to some
area of your body without causing the whole body to undergo
hyperthermia
. You can use it on high heat for local application
without overstimulating the whole body. It is portable, rather
bendable, and can be applied to almost any part of the body. The
Belt can also be used when you are on the large full body mat for the
more intensive sessions.
11. The Belt pads 8”x18” or 8”-21” (XL) and the wrapping pad
20”x18” are the smallest and least heavy, most mobile, portable
and easiest to handle ThermoGem™ mats great for lumbar, waist,
lower back or abdomen. The Belt can also be used as a belly band
for concealed wearing on the waist under clothes with the Pad
on the front and the straps fastened on the back. It is especially
valuable for women’s health and can be helpful during periods
to improve appearance and look of your skin, relieve mild mood
changes, cramps, and edema associated with the menstrual cycle.
For lower back the belt is carried with pad on the back and the
straps fastened on the belly.
You can also lay on the wrapping
pad to focus it on your lower back
. For lower back the belt is
carried with pad on the back and the straps fastened on the belly.
You can also lay on a twice larger than belt’s pad wrapping one to
focus it on your lower back.
12. If our stomach, intestine and other inner organs lack warmth, abdominal
and visceral fat may never completely go away no matter how hard we
diet or train. Once our abdominal region is warm, the body may decide
that the thick blanket of fat in the belly area is no longer needed.
Of
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
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
course correct nutrition and exercises are essential for healthy active
lifestyle helpful to maintain normal weight and body composition
.
13. If you sleep with your belt or wraps on the body be sure that
the
heat level is on the safe, lowest levels of 35-45 °C or use the
belt either unpowered or in negative-ions-only mode (30 °C) at
night
. Do not use high heat when you go to bed. Do not rely solely
on the timer. Some customers choose to connect the belt or wraps
through another timer plugged into the the wall outlet for double
safety in order not to fall asleep on the hot and dehydrate.
Take
extra care during nighttime use and keep the belt or wraps only
on low heat settings
