You Need to Lie Down

Can 20 minutes on a mat really speed up recovery, decrease inflammation, and even fight anxiety?

I‘m so sorry, but I don’t believe in crystals. I stopped wearing an amethyst around my neck in the late 90s. I am not convinced that a carefully-placed obsidian can suck the anxiety out of my heart chakra or a topaz can align the meridians of the body (whatever those are). I would not last long at a dinner party in Laurel Canyon, and I can live with that.

So I didn’t have much confidence that the HigherDose’s Infared PEMF Mat, topped with ground particles of crystals, clay, and charcoal, would change my life or even lighten my mood. But perhaps it’s not the crystals that deserve the credit.
