## Abstract

A heating mat that, by making use of a multilayered structure, is able to provide therapeutic benefits to a user. The heating mat has a waterproof base layer, a heating layer, PEMF emitters, and a primary therapeutic layer. The primary therapeutic layer uses therapeutic stones and a stone harness to maintain the therapeutic stones in a position that facilitates treatment. The waterproof base layer is a water-impervious membrane that prevents external fluids from damaging the electronic components of the heating mat. The heating layer functions as a flexible heating element for the heating mat and is mounted across the waterproof base layer. The PEMF emitters are devices which generate pulses of EM energy that are known to have therapeutic properties. The PEMF emitters are mounted in between the waterproof base and the heating layer. The primary therapeutic layer is mounted across the heating layer, opposite to the waterproof base layer.
