Recently I was approached by the creators of the Dosha Mat to see if I would be interested in trying their accupressure mat. Anyone who knows me knows that I am always interested in trying new things, so I jumped at the opportunity. I will have to say I was a bit nervous about how it would feel, would it hurt? When I received my mat, I made my hubby try it first. If it hurt him, then I would know I shouldn't try it LOL. Hubby thought it felt great, so I decided I would give it a shot, and I am so glad I did.
As a runner who prefers long distances, I have many areas that are constantly sore. Since the mat is versatile, I have been able to lay flat on the mat, sit on the mat, put my feet on the mat, etc and every time it provides a perfect amount of pressure on my sore areas. After I am done using it I feel a huge sense of relief in my sore muscles. I have used it after my 30K trail run, and my 28 mile 12 hr run and it definitely helped me recover faster. That is the main reason I have used the mat, but on their website it lists many other issues that it is beneficial for:
1. Reduction of pain and soreness
2. Deep calm and relaxation
3. Reduction of stress and anxiety
4. Improved sleep
5. Weight-loss
6. Increased circulation
7. Rejuvenation of the skin
8. Improved digestion
9. Increased energy levels
10. Reduction of cellulite
11. Alleviates arthritis
12. Alleviates fibromyalgia
13. Aids myofascial pain syndrome
14. Alleviates sciatica pain
15. Faster recovery after workouts
16. Lower cortisol levels
I definitely plan on adding using my mat on a more daily basis so that I can take advantage of the other benefits it provides.
I got to spend some time on the phone talking with Jessica, one of the owners of this small business and enjoyed the passion she had for her accupressure mat. The mats are 100% eco-friendly, handmade using the highest-quality, hypoallergenic natural linen. Each mat also contains a removable cushion made of 100% natural coconut fibre. The mats are very pretty, and contain more than 4,500 high-quality acupressure points in the beautiful shape of lotus flowers. Another great benefit of this brand is that they donate 15% of their profit to several non-profit organizations that work to provide exercise programs like yoga to youth in need.
Sounds awesome, doesn't it? Well here's where you can get your own, and Jessica has been kind enough to let me offer a discount if you purchase a mat within the next 2 weeks. Head on over to https://www.doshamat.com/ and put in this code PAMDEMONIUM15 before August 28th. Let me know when you get yours, I'd love to hear how much you love it!!
I received a Dosha Mat in return for my honest review.
