There are so many benefits of the Charmed Mat, including:
- Relieves Pain and Chronic Inflammation - The deep penetrating heat of the far infrared therapy helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to the muscles and soft tissue injuries.
- Improves Circulation and Cardiovascular Function - Far infrared therapy raises body temperature, warming the blood and expanding the blood vessels. This creates an increase in peripheral blood flow and volume, resulting in improved circulation and heart function, as well as oxygenation.
- Improves Immune System Function - Far infrared rays’ deeply penetrating heat raises body temperature, inducing an artificial and healthy fever, which promotes the killing of many pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. As the body works to combat the “fever,” the body’s immune system is activated and strengthened by increasing production of white blood cells.
- Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness - Far infrared heat therapy is widely used to treat patients who are suffering from many kinds of arthritic and musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, it has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other musculoskeletal ailments by increasing the growth of cells, DNA and protein synthesis necessary for tissue repair and regeneration.
- Reduces Stress & Fatigue - The gentle warmth of the far infrared rays helps to sooth nerves and relax tight or knotted muscles by heating the muscle fibers.
- Assists in Detoxification - Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste
Charmed FIR Mats come in a variety of sizes for your needs, including a Mini Mat, a larger body sized Mat, a Cervical Pillow, Amethyst Belt, AND two mats which also feature Photon & PEMF Therapy.

Giveaway #3 - 10 Cambridge Masks!
Hello, and welcome to Week 3 of the Lady of Lyme Giveaway! Today's Giveaway comes from a company that I love, and they really went above and beyond to celebrate Lyme Disease Awareness Month! Cambridge Mask is donating TEN of their military grade respiratory masks to ten winners! Not only that, they are also offering 10% off their masks with code LADYLYME10 during the entire month of May and will donate a portion of those profits to a charity that is dear to my heart, Lymelight Foundation. How amazing is that?? I was blown away by their generosity to help improve the lives of so many people, and their dedication to the cause. So first things first I want to say a huge thank you to Cambridge Mask, and if you want to read my comprehensive blog post about their masks you can check it out HERE.
Cambridge Masks are respirators that use military grade filtration technology to filter out nearly 100% of particulate pollution, gases, as well as bacteria and viruses in a fashion friendly mask suitable for the whole family. Cambridge Mask’s inner filtration layer is made from a 100% pure activated carbon cloth, which was originally invented by the UK Ministry of Defense It was extensively developed and has been made into products for use in chemical, biological and nuclear warfare protection. These masks are a necessity to protect yourselves from germs, as most patients who struggle with chronic illnesses also have weaker immune systems. I for one can attest to this, and I can also attest to the fact that if I get a virus on top of my regular chronic illness struggles it hits me much harder than someone who is healthy, and I have a much tougher time recovering. I take this very seriously, and I appreciate the safety that Cambridge Mask provides me. It also works to filter poor air quality and can help filter fumes and chemicals for those who are sensitive to chemicals (MCS). You can read more about their FAQ's here.
You can check out the Cambridge Mask site HERE, and remember that if you use code LADYLYME10 you will receive 10% off your order and will be helping LymeLight Foundation as well! It's a win/win!

Giveaway #4 - Almagia ALMAG 01 Device!
 |
Hello, and welcome to week 4 of the Lady of Lyme Giveaway! I can't believe it's already the 4th week of May, wow. This week we have another highly requested item from Almagia. They have generously donated one of their ALMAG 01 devices ($599) to a lucky winner! I spoke with Yelena (the owner) at length about this device. We talked on the phone for an hour while she told me all the amazing things this device can do, and all the ways it can help patients. I was in awe of her knowledge and her generosity. She is such a wonderful person with a big heart, and I thank her greatly!
The Almag 01 is a device that brings all the healing benefits of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy to you. The outstanding feature of this product is that if offers non-invasive, mediation-free treatment of many ailments. The Almag 01 device comes with a pulse generator, four emitters, PEMF indicator, and connector cables. It operates based on low-frequency PEMF, and is FDA registered as a biofeedback machine. The device produces electromagnetic fields which feature frequencies that are healing to the body. It directs these fields to tissues and penetrates as deep as 8cm. The frequencies used in the Almag 01 helps body cells stimulate the natural healing process and treat injuries directly as well as give you pain relief. The Almag 01 causes an increase in intercellular and intracellular exchange due to an interaction of charged particles. The magnetic field increases interactions between redox process, helping to improve tissue and cell metabolism and enhancing the ionization process. Studies show the Almag 01 penetrates deeper than other devices, enough to influence internal organs. Frequencies are within 4-16Hz, the most biologically active. There are manytestimonials of how beneficial this has been for patients, as well as a bounty of articles and Clinical Studies which you can read here. More specifically here is a post discussing PEMF being used for Lyme, and one from Dr Pawluk here.
How does PEMF work?
via promolife.com - Traveling Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy involves impulses similar to the biological frequencies of your body. As it travels, it can enhance bioactive properties along the organs and body. The dynamics do not allow for adaptation, so the body does not get used to it. This allows the beneficial effects to remain constant.
Similar devices have been used for years to treat fractures, injuries and post operative wounds, but many of those devices were large and cumbersome. This device is small, making it perfect for clinics or for home use.
Using tPEMF, an analgesic effect is created due to blockage of nerve impulses, reducing spasms and improving local circulation and tissue respiration. This can lead to improved immune responses.
PEMF devices were approved by the FDA in 1979 for the stimulation of bone growth. It was approved in the US in 1991 as an adjunct for treatment of post-operative edema and pain. It was again approved by the FDA in 2004 for patients with a high risk for non-fusion, as an adjunct to cervical fusion surgery. It's a proven safe therapy for fractures and a variety of other problems.
If you are using the Almag for pain relief specifically, it can be used for relief of pain associated with:
This really is such a revolutionary device in its ability to aid in pain relief, anti-inflammatory action, and aid in assisting cells to repair themselves. As I said above, Yelena has been a really great resource for information about this device. She spoke with me about patient stories that she helped facilitate by using her device, and I know that this Giveaway will really change the life of someone. I am so excited, and I hope it blesses the life of whoever wins!

Giveaway #5 - TENDLITE Red Light Therapy!
 |
Wow, May really flew by! Here we are at the very last Giveaway of the Month. Thank you to everyone who has been here joining in all throughout Lyme Disease Awareness Month. So without further ado...
This week we have THREE winners! Lumina so generously donated three of their TenDlite Red Light Therapy Devices (MSRP $270)! TenDlite is an FDA cleared anti-inflammatory & analgesic (pain relief) light therapy device that relieves joint pain, promotes faster healing, and increases mobility. NASA scientists have studied and applied proven light therapy (photo-therapy) for years to provide pain relief and speed up healing using the same technology utilized by TenDlite. Studies have shown that LED red light therapy is effective for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, muscle spasm, relieving stiffness, promoting relaxation of muscle tissue, and temporarily increasing local blood circulation where heat is indicated. TenDlite provides the deep penetration of light necessary to reach the injured tissue and relieve pain fast. This pain relief generated by TenDlite medical grade technology, is due to the immediate restoration of optimal blood circulation to the deep tissue, reducing inflammation and the waste constrained around it. TenDlite generates a powerful 1500 mW output of the specific red light wavelength used by medical office based light therapy devices, but in the comfort and convenience of your home.
I actually began using Red Light Therapy this year in an effort to help increase circulation, particularly to my legs, since I suffer from POTS. I have quite a bit of circulation issues in my legs, and when I stand up I have a lot of blood pulling etc. The Red Light treatments have made a noticeable difference for me, and I'll have a more in depth blog post up soon about exactly how I used it. But for now, I wanted to share all the ways that Phototherapy can be used. The TenDlite is a hand held device, and you simply aim it at the area you want to treat and turn it on. You can use it on small areas such as a specific joint, or larger areas like your back, legs, shoulders, etc.
Features:
Q&A:
“Is it safe?”
Yes! The wavelength used by the TenDlite® are within the normal visible spectrum of light, with no harmful UV rays.
“Is there any scientific research to back it up?”
Studies have shown that LED red light therapy is effective for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasm, relieving stiffness, promoting relaxation of muscle tissue, and temporarily increasing local blood circulation.
“How does it work?”
LED phototherapy is a highly effective method of delivering therapeutic light energy as well as increased circulation into the tissue of the treatment area. LED phototherapy is more and more becoming the method of choice among therapists and sports trainers.
"What separates Tendlite from other products?"
Tendlite delivers approximately 3 to 5 times more optical output of power than leading competitive products, which puts it on a par with some professional machines in terms of power output, helping toward a quicker more effective delivery.
