Heating Pad Plus // Tourmaline // Medium

The UTK Tourmaline Medium Plus is soft, flexible pad that relieves muscle tension. Use for just 30 minutes daily (or as recommended by your doctor) to increase blood flow and reduce pain and muscle tension. It features precise heat and time controls to customize your experience for the best results possible.

Unlike conventional heating pads that use electric heating coils that just heat up the surface of your skin, these unique pads use Far Infrared Therapy to penetrate 200-300 times deeper into your body. It works because only 44% of the full spectrum of sunlight is in the visible range. The high–frequency ultraviolet rays are what cause sunburn and other skin damage, but the low-frequency infrared rays - the kind used in Far Infrared Therapy - are not harmful. Instead, infrared light transmits more heat than ordinary light to provide you with some of the benefits of sunshine, without direct exposure to the sun. With UTK's revolutionary design, the rays are emitted through heated stones.

Tourmaline is the name used for several different minerals that come in rich and varied colors. Tourmaline stones are piezoelectric, meaning when they are heated, they produce an electrical potential (different electrical charges at opposite ends, and emit far infrared radiation as well as negative ions, which are believe to promote relaxation and regeneration.
