1. A material for contacting a mammal with a body having a body part with swelling comprising:
a wearable expanse having a shape and a size customized to fit and support the body part in contact with skin on the body part;
the wearable expanse comprising a plurality of woven threads including a plurality of composite threads, each composite thread comprising a combination of at least three components including:
a first material comprising a plurality of fibers;
a plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles compounded with the plurality of fibers configured to release negative ions into the body part responsive to body heat to form an electromagnetic field in the body part;
a plurality of charcoal nanoparticles compounded with the plurality of fibers configured to release infrared waves into the body part responsive to body heat in the body part;
the plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles and the plurality of charcoal nanoparticles configured to decrease the swelling upon contact with the skin of the body part using a transdermal effect from body heat flowing through the skin of the body part causing the plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles to release the negative ions and form the electromagnetic field in the body part and the plurality of charcoal nanoparticles to release the infrared waves into the body part,
the support of the body part by the wearable expanse configured to mitigate the swelling.
