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.

Jade stones have been valued for centuries, especially by East Asian cultures. Jade is one of two types of metamorphic rocks made of different silicate minerals: nephrite and jadeite. Jade heating pads focus on the Far Infrared benefits, able to penetrate the rays into body at a depth of 5-6 inches. Jade is also an efficient absorber of natural infrared heat and passes it along to the body gently and smoothly.

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.
