What is Formostar?

The Formostar Far Infrared Body Wrap System is a deep heat treatment that utilizes the body's natural cooling process to boost the bodys metabolism, & increase weight loss.  When heat is absorbed by the body on a continuous basis, the blood circulation is used to transport the excess heat as close as possible to the skin's surface, inducing sweat, to help dissipate it into the cooler atmosphere.

To stimulate and maintain this natural metabolic cooling process over a 50 minute session requires the body to use energy.  The effect is similar to undertaking a vigorous workout but without any lung or muscle load.  As such the Formostar can help with:

• Body reshaping and weight loss.
• Providing pain relief.
• Improving well-being.
• Pain Management
• Detoxification
• Skin Conditioning
• Improved Blood Circulation
• Increasing Flexibility

Each session takes 50 minutes and is undertaken lying down on a massage bed and cotton clothing is worn.  Many people feel deep relaxation, read a book, watch TV or even sleep.

Body Reshaping & Weightloss

Outer parts of the body, where fat is typically stored, are normally poorly supplied with blood and can be anything up to 10ºC cooler than core body temperature.  To break down fat you generally need to expend energy, such as that generated in sustained exercise.  Exercise increases the Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) and is widely accepted as one of the fastest ways to use calories.  Exercise generates body heat, significantly increasing blood circulation, which stimulates lipolytic enzyme activity (fat burning).

Formostar provides concentrated heat into targeted areas, while still providing an overall body workout, over each 50 minute session.  Due to the increase of blood flow during a Formostar session, generated through the concentrated heat, cardiovascular conditioning can also be achieved - the heart must work harder in order to pump blood faster through the body.  A person using Formostar 2-3 times per week, as recommended, should experience body reshaping and weight loss through the breakdown of fat and the loss of excess fluids and wastes.

The results of the Formostar Clinical Study (“Clinical study for the effectiveness of the FORMOSTAR ® in depth thermal treatment for weight and size loss and degenerative joint and spinal column illnesses”, Dr. med. A. MEDINA and Dr. med. K. RADTKE, 1985, Internal Medicine Department of the District Hospital Rinteln at the Weser - study commissioned by Formostar Germany and available on request) indicated that on average, the control group's results were:

With diet: an average of 6.5 kilos lost in 10 sessions and between 7 and 8 centimeters lost in each of the thigh, abdomen and hip areas. 
Without diet: an average of 4 kilos lost in 10 sessions and between 5 and 6 centimeters lost in each of the thigh, abdomen and hip areas.

Sweating also plays a part in weight loss with one gram of sweat being equivalent to .586 of a calorie.  Hydrating (which we recommend prior, during and after a Formostar session) will replace lost fluid as required but the calories are lost in the process.

Fat is actually quite light, in fact much lighter than muscle.  Your body requires a specific number of calories every day to function properly.  Individuals with active lifestyles require more calories in their diet than those with sedentary lifestyles.  If your energy intake consistently exceeds your energy output, you will begin to notice a change in weight.

For every 3500 calories consumed beyond the energy needs of your body, you may gain approx ½ kilo.  On the other hand, creating a deficit of 3500 calories can result in the loss of ½ kilo.  Consequently to lose one kilo a person needs to burn 7000 calories.

Formostar will be of most value with a balanced exercise and eating program.  People participating in diet programs can sometimes experience a plateau effect.  Combining Formostar sessions with diet can overcome this effect and accelerate results.  Even people that lead a very sedentary lifestyle can still achieve results over a longer period, assuming that they exercise adequate control over dietary and other general health factors.

Results will be dependent on each person’s particular make up and physiology.  Basic body shape also plays a part in how quickly the results will be achieved.  Generally, the greater the excess weight being carried, the faster and more dramatic the body reshaping and weight loss results can be.

Wellbeing benefits

The benefits of Far Infrared heat are widely documented and cover many areas including improved blood circulation, detoxification and pain management. 

Pain Management:  The Formostar was initially developed to assist in the relief of pain experienced by arthritis sufferers and improve joint mobility.  Heat is generally accepted treatment for temporary pain relief.  Far infrared heat lamps have been in use for many years, especially in Asia.  Heat, absorbed by the body, can help deaden nerve endings, creating an analgesic effect bringing temporary pain relief.  Promoting blood circulation to affected areas can aid in the healing of muscle and soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, arthritis, muscle spasm and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.

Detoxification: The skin is the largest organ in the body and it plays a major role in the detoxifying process alongside the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver, and the lymphatic and immune systems.  Many people go out of their way not to sweat – especially women. Air-conditioned buildings, air-conditioned cars, anti-perspirants and body lotions can prevent the body from performing its natural functions as well as clogging up the skin’s pores. Sweating is a natural and beneficial process helping clear toxins out of a person's system.  Toxins are both water based (residing in body fluids) and oil based (residing in fat tissue). The heat generated by the Formostar can stimulate the sweat glands and in combination with increased blood circulation can help release built-up toxins and waste trapped in cells and tissues.

Skin Conditioning: For healthy skin, pores require cleansing.  Pores may clog up for a variety of reasons and sweating helps the cleansing process helping to improve skin condition and making it more supple.  Promoting additional oxygen enriched blood into areas where there is scar tissue may also aid the skin regeneration process.

Blood Circulation: Many issues that manifest themselves in the body such as arthritis, sciatica, menstrual cramps and fatigue, or outside the body such as psoriasis and acne, can to some degree, be due to poor blood circulation.  Formostar sessions heat the body to aid stimulation of the flow of blood to peripheral areas.

General Well-being: A 50 minute session can help people relieve stress and tension, promoting relaxation and a general sense of well being. 
Increasing Flexibility: Heat can help reduce joint and muscle tightness, aiding movement. Gentle stretching when warm can also help improve flexibility by up to 20%. For a person experiencing arthritis or mobility problems, Formostar heat treatments could be very valuable.

How Formostar works

From a physiological perspective, the Formostar generates Far Infrared energy, the energy our bodies naturally absorb from the sun, in the form of heat at a frequency that is easily and effectively absorbed by the body.  The input of concentrated, targeted Far Infrared energy stimulates the metabolism and immune system providing a wide range of Wellbeing and Weight loss related benefits.

From a scientific perspective, penetration of energy into a medium is dependent on the intensity of the source ofinfrared, the angle at which the ray hits the surface and the coefficient of absorption of material.  The infrared ray needs to be on a straight path therefore the closer the ray to the surface the better the penetration.  The Formostar wraps are placed against the body meaning there is better penetration, which is why it is so effective and up to 93% of the rays can be absorbed to a depth of 4.5 centimeters.

The effects simulate many aspects of a sustained vigorous workout.  The deep heat reaches through muscle and tissue to stimulate the metabolism and increase blood circulation as would happen with concentrated exercise.  The major difference is that the heat is being absorbed passively and does not stimulate lungs or muscles.  This does not mean it should replace a balanced diet or exercise.  However, Formostar sessions in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise program can help accelerate results.  For those people that have difficulty exercising, Formostar can help compensate for the lack of activity.

Please Note:  Formostar is not intended to diagnose, cure or prevent any disease or illness.  Your Formostar operator will provide you with a medical questionnaire and list of contra-indications prior to your first session.  If you have any doubts whatsoever, we recommend that you consult your medical practitioner.

Bioresonance Therapy For Weight Loss

There are some Therapeutic qualities of the Bicom that stimulate the body's own Metabolism. We recommend a maintenance weekly or Fourtnightly appointment to help stimulate your Metabolism and make the most of your weight loss efforts. Our clients experience Dramatically improved results.

How does it work? The BICOM Bioresonance Therapy is a gentle computer controlled oscillation therapy without any side effects stimulating the self-healing powers and in most of the cases leading to a recovery. The human body emits different electromagnetic oscillations: cells, tissue and organs have each their specific oscillations. These single oscillations are in mutual correlation and influence each other. Together they form the patient's entire oscillation spectrum, the individual oscillation pattern. You can very well imagine that the oscillations of a healthy person have a different structure than those of a sick person. In the oscillation pattern of a sick person the oscillations of foreign substances stored in the body such as amalgam, bacteria, viruses, allergens, mycosis etc. disturb the normal oscillation pattern. These disturbing electromagnetic oscillations are received and transferred to the BICOM device via electrodes placed on certain parts of the body. In the device these oscillations are changed and then returned to the patient's body in the form of healing therapy oscillations. The body is never exposed to any kind of current. The BICOM Bioresonance Therapy considerably strengthens your own defence and self-healing powers.
