A Review of Metatron's Magnetic Mat

I have been aware of the power of magnets for aiding physical health for a long time and have even used magnetic insoles in my shoes for quite a while. I was very excited to learn about the healing properties of a magnetic mat designed by His Holiness Buddha Maitreya and handcrafted by nuns and monks. What excited me so much about this product was that it was designed to not only help heal the physical body , but to address issues in the emotional and mental bodies too.  There were a number of testimonials about the different kinds of healings people had experienced and some were pretty outstanding in terms of the seriousness of the diseases people were suffering from.

About the product

Within the mat is a grid that is comprised of copper strips and neo-dynium magnets that make up a series of diamonds. This sacred geometric pattern is known as the Visica Pisces and represents the birth of Spirit in Matter known as the Soul and is a Divine Proportion found within all Life.  The grid is then encased within  two cotton layers of soft cotton batting. The mat also has a removable washable organic cotton cover as well as an organic cotton carrying bag.  You will see from the picture that there are four copper tabs at each corner with a small crystal wrapped in copper and magnets.  Leads are provided to connect the Mat with two Vajras or Etheric Weavers™      (see my review of the etheric weaver here) that can be held in the hand during a meditation or healing treatment for increased benefit. An Essence plate is provided to attach to the base of the Mat so that the subtle energy vibrations of flower essences (see my review of flower remedies here) or other natural remedies can be applied through the Mat.

The mat has many uses and benefits - including for healing, self-healing, pain relief, reducing stress, relaxation, deep meditation and improved sleep. The mat is easily transportable and folds into an organic cotton carrying bag - making it easy to use for traveling or using with massage and many other types of complimentary therapies.


How I tested the product:

I have been lucky enough to use the Metatron's magnetic mat for many years now. I use it to meditate on as well as sleep on. I have had varying degrees of insomnia on and off for years and the mat does a remarkable job of calming the mind and body. In fact I love the mat so much I just bought a new one after 16 years!


Pros
  • The mat works on so much more than physical aches and pains. It helps to restore optimum health in the mind and emotions too. I literally can feel myself relax when I lie on the mat and that in turn opens my mind towards a more intuitive way of being. This can help with problem solving and opening up new avenues for the mind to explore.
  • There are many testimonials on the website of Shambhala Healing Tools that point to the efficacy of this product.
  • Wonderful customer care and support is offered by the nuns and monks who will personally take your calls or emails and answer any questions.
  • Seven CDs of Buddha Maitreya's meditation and healing soul therapy music come free with each mat. 

Cons:

None!


Conclusion:

This is true investment in one's health and well being. A quality hand crafted product made in America that will last for years and years. The level of healing that people have experienced is truly amazing and what's more you can share the tools with friends and family to help them feel better too.

A Review of Rosacea-Ltd IV

Introduction

I get flare ups of acne rosacea that can be quite painful. Of course having a red and inflamed face is not the best either! I have had it on and off for years and not really known how to treat my skin as it is quite sensitive, and many treatments on the market can be quite aggressive for my particular skin. I also prefer to use holistic and natural remedies whenever possible and since the skin absorbs everything we put on it , I want to be really careful what I use.

I like researching and I am quite passionate about healthy living so I set myself the challenge of finding a natural protocol for my skin problems. I came across Rosacea-Ltd IV as one possible treatment made by Bass & Boney Pharmaceuticals, Inc. . The name had popped up a few times on acne forums and had received favorable comments from users.

I was quite impressed with the scientific information presented on the company's website, and could see time and research had been put into the product and the educating of people about their product. I realized from studying the manufacturer's website, that the products I had been using to try and cure my skin had probably been making it worse. I also learned from their information that if left untreated acne rosacea gets worse over time and can lead to some serious problems. In addition it can be a symptom of other isues going on in the body. This was enough to prompt me into ordering the product.

When ordering you fill out a questionnaire regarding your skin problems so that the regimen can be tailored for your specific needs. I liked this aspect because we are all different and a one size fits all approach isn't the best.

About the product:

 Rosacea-Ltd IV is a rosacea treatment by a Johns Hopkins MD. It was designed for sensitive skin and redness with any combination of rosacea, acne pimples, rosacea papules and seborrheic dermatitis.
The shape of Rosacea-Ltd IV is a disk which allows the user to easily get to the sides of the nose as well as sweep it along the eye lid for occular rosacea - which occurs in many sufferers and can include lepharitis, conjunctivitis, iritis and dry eyes.


The ingredients of Rosacea-Ltd IV are zinc oxide, sodium chloride, iron oxide, copper oxide, cornstarch, polyethylene glycol and sulfur. There are two disks , one is tan and one is yellow. Full instructions come with the product- basically you use it once at night on clean skin that is wet and moistened with jojoba oil.  The jojoba helps with the absorption of the product as well as mositurizing the skin. You start with the tan disk and use that for 10 days before moving onto the yellow disk.

How I tested the product:

I use this whenever I get a flare up of acne rosacea. I have been using it on and off for one year.

Pros

  • It does help calm the redness and pustules. It works pretty quickly too. I usually notice some improvement within a few days.
  • Relatively cheap - the disks cost me around $80 or so and are not even close to being used up a year later! The company also offer a refund up to 120 days after initial purchase if you are unsatisfied with it.
  • Easy to use- you just glide it very quickly over the face.
  • A lot of good information and detailed care plan.


Cons
  • Can be drying- make sure you use the jojoba oil to counteract any drying effects. Less is more with this product so use a light hand when applying.
  • Can sting a bit on the eye- just keep the eyes closed for a minute or so after application.
  • The sulfur smell is quite strong for me but it does dissipate after a while.

Conclusion

It works for me and after reading the company's literature and testimonials it seems to work well for many people. It is less aggressive than other creams and potions I have tried and doesn't irritate my skin. I think acne rosacea is a complex skin issue to try and treat but this product is one remedy that has worked well for me.

I give it 4 stars out of five.
