What does a nail mat do?
Nail mats have been around for thousands of years. The most famous practice originates in India, where traveling fakirs performed feats such as snake charming, sword swallowing, and lying on beds of nails. In this way, they demonstrated that their yoga practice gave them great control over body and mind. Fortunately, using a Flowee nail mat is much easier. You don't have to be an experienced yogi: even if you've never done yoga before, you can use this mat and experience benefits, both physically and mentally.
How does a Flowee nail mat work?
The Flowee nail mat doesn't have nails, but flower-shaped studs with 42 spikes each. These spikes are the sharp ends that stimulate pressure points in your body. Each of these pressure points is connected to a specific meridian, and all these meridians are interconnected. According to ancient Chinese health theory, which is based on a holistic system in which body and mind are inextricably linked, this energy system is capable of balancing itself—with the right stimulation—and thus striving for optimal health for all your organs and muscles.
Pressure point massages and blood circulation
By pressing a pressure point somewhere in your body, you activate the flow through the energy pathway the point connects to. Sensitive people will feel a small current running through their body, but even if you don't feel it, it's working. Because you have numerous pressure points along your spine, a spike mat is especially beneficial to lie on your back. You activate numerous meridians, to which your body then responds in a subtle way. The Flowee spike mat also works wonders for blood circulation. Improved circulation ensures better oxygen supply to your cells and better removal of toxins, keeping you fit and healthy for longer. The stimulation of the spikes, which you may initially experience as pain, triggers the production of endorphins and oxytocin. These happy hormones are natural painkillers. Moreover, they have a very relaxing effect.

- Place your spike mat on a soft surface, such as a bed or sofa. This will reduce the pressure from the spikes.
- Put on a T-shirt. If that's not enough, feel free to put on some extra clothing while you're on the mat. The more you get used to your nail mat, the more you can take off.
