ASANA SCIENCE

Natural Technology for Healthier Women

Asana’s Biowave Advantage™ layer is the result of years of research by specialists in biological, medical, advanced materials and nano-technology research. The first active ingredient is tourmaline, a semi-precious gemstone that is a natural source of far-infrared rays and negative oxygen ions, both of which have extensively documented health benefits. The second is nano-silver, nano-sized particles of silver, a proven, broad-spectrum antimicrobial that is widely used to help treat burns, disinfect water, and in bandages and wound dressings.

Each Asana Ultra Thin Sanitary Napkin™ harnesses silver’s antimicrobial properties and the health promoting powers of far infrared rays and negative oxygen ions. The tourmaline and nano-silver adhere to the Asana Biowave Advantage’s™ breathable, dust-free, 100% biodegradable, super-absorbent layers of wood fibre and pure cotton.

How the Asana Biowave Advantage™ layer works

Far infrared rays ionize and activate water molecules in our blood cells to help improve circulation and oxygen levels, while helping to eliminate toxins and inhibit bacterial growth. These processes help relieve pain, eliminate odor, speed cellular repair, balance PH values, and protect against inflammation naturally.

Negative oxygen ions occur naturally when sunlight and moving air or water break apart air molecules. Negative oxygen ions are abundant by the sea, near waterfalls, and in the mountains, which why we often feel invigorated there. Negative ions help relieve stress, balance PH levels, strengthen the immune system, alleviate depression, boost energy levels and enhance overall well being.

When the Asana Biowave Advantage™ layer comes into contact with moisture, it activates the tourmaline to start emitting beneficial far-infrared rays and negative oxygen ions. The far-infrared rays, in turn, stimulate micro-vibrations that revitalize tissue through improved circulation. The Biowave layer generates the beneficial effects in rhythm with the body’s own natural functions.

Nano-silver is always working to eliminate bacteria; it is highly toxic to germs while relatively non-toxic to human cells. There are more than 400 articles in medical journals citing the use of silver for the treatment of various conditions, diseases and pathogens. Independent testing has shown that the nano-silver in Asana’s napkins removes 99.99% of two of the most commonly occurring odour-causing bacteria, escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, and a common yeast, candida ablicans.

Tested and Approved as Safe and Effective

Health Canada has approved Asana’s Biowave Advantage™ products as safe for consumer use, classifying them products as a Medical Device Class 1 (antibacterial).

Asana’s patented Biowave Advantage™ layer has also been tested by SGS Group, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. Recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity, they operate a network of more than 1,000 offices and laboratories around the world. SGS has certified Asana’s Biowave Advantage™ layer as 99.99% effective on bacteria.
