This is not your ordinary, run of the mill heating pad. I waited for some time for this to arrive as, I’m sure, a lot of care and craftsmanship that goes into production. It was definitely worth the wait. There’s a blend of therapies that remind me of the time I stood in a Chinese dispensary with centuries old medicines on one side and a modern-day pill dispensary on the other. In this heating pad alone, there are photon LED lights and amazing natural healing stones. A blend, a fabulous blend, but I digress. There are three different, natural gemstones in this heating pad: tourmaline, amethyst, and jade. The healing properties are well-known, but they also emit negative ions. The higher the temp, the more that are emitted. Now, this heating pad has a range of temperatures from 95°F (35°C) to 160°F (70°). The temperature depends on what I want to do from an overnight therapy to an intense sauna-like one. The average heating pad, in my experience ranges from 140°F to 167°F. This heating pad does take a bit to heat up, but provides a steady heat. One interesting feature is that by using an emergency Mylar space heating blanket, I can reflect the heat and get that sauna-like experience. The heating blanket was included, but they are readily available for purchase. A towel can be used in its stead to capture the heat as well. There are a couple of form-fitting pads that are included. Depending on use, these are highly recommended, integral parts of the package. The pad can be used without a cover (I used it this way), but only on the lower temperatures. It also has a PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy feature set at 7.83 Hz. Just how good can it get? This is a safe therapy for most with some exceptions such as pregnant women. I do have a lot to learn about this particular therapy, but have the option of whether or not I want to use in in the meantime. Word is, is that it’s a good therapy for anxiety disorders, but I’m not a medical practitioner so one should do their own research on the PEMF therapy. In the brief time I’ve had this heating pad, I’m learning a lot of interesting facts and theories. There’s also the photon light (660 nm) therapy button, which I know even less about. It’s purportedly a skin-friendly light for a number of issues. Psoriasis, wrinkles, scars, however, this is the controversial therapy. Once again, do your own research and come to your own conclusions. I found the heating pad to be super comfortable, but I probably wouldn’t use in during the night. I do layer and use a regular heating pad for pain relief and comfort, but will have to work with this one. The benefits are many, but what I do know is that I’m incredulous at how well this package was put together. Heck, there was even an extra fuse in the package. Highly recommended!
