Understanding the power of healing with Infrared

Our lives, health and well-being are truly dependent on the Sun’s energy.

We are nourished directly by the stimulation of sunlight and nourished indirectly by eating foods, drinking fluids, and breathing air that has been vitalized by the Sun. As many scientists have determined after a century of investigations, far infrared energy is not only part of the Sun’s energy spectrum, it is the safest and most beneficial frequency of natural sunlight. It has the potential to generate amazing therapeutic effects on our bodies, including improved circulation, enhanced natural detoxification, and reinforced immune responses. This heat energy can deliver healing relief for joint and muscle pain and inflammation, enhance cardiovascular function, lower cholesterol, revitalize skin cells, emulsify fat, increase metabolic rate and curtail the spread of infection. While results differ in each of us, the constant is that far infrared effects our bodies in a number of beneficial ways.

A History of Far Infrared

Over mankind’s history, heat therapy has taken different forms. The first documented use dates back to medicinal evolutionary Hippocrates in the fifth century.

Known as the father of western medicine, he taught Greek physicians that if one could create a fever, one could cure all illness. The early Romans built on this principle, using elaborate hot baths and bathhouses. Even Native Americans have used “sweat lodges” for both physical and spiritual cleansing practices.

At the start of the 19th century, the English astronomer Sir William Herschel studied the infrared light wavelength. His experiments with this radiant heat triggered wide scientific interest, an interest that continues today. Utilizing the early exploratory work of some of the greatest scientists of our time, such as Albert Einstein, modern studies have researched the positive effects of the Sun’s energy on our own atmosphere and human life. NASA’s own scientists studying the positive attributes of far infrared heat determined it is so important to maintaining health that they incorporated infrared technology into the Space Shuttle systems. The Journal of American Medical Association, The New England Journal of Medicine, and many other technical and scholarly publications have discussed the positive effects of far infrared heat therapy on a variety of conditions.

Research

Far Infrared (”FIR”) is the healthy energy contained in sunlight that is responsible for photosynthesis which is the process used by plants to produce energy and without which there would be no life on earth. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Prize Winner and the discoverer of vitamin C, believed that all energy from the Sun has profound effects on us. His research showed that light can literally stimulate the body’s basic biological functions. Modern research is showing that Far Infrared does indeed stimulate metabolism.

FIR warms the body from within. FIR are invisible wavelengths of light that are longer than that of visible light. When these invisible wavelengths of light are absorbed by the cells of the body, the effect is a feeling of heat.

Summary of Health Benefits

FIR is rapidly gaining popularity as a safe therapy for natural health care. Far infrared heat is safe and can benefit most of us in a number of powerful, therapeutic ways. It raises our body’s core temperature, inducing an “artificial fever” that helps us naturally detoxify. It supports our immune system and improves our body’s ability to absorb essential nutrition. It eases pain and relieves inflammation. Most of all, far infrared heat is all natural; we cannot get too much of it; and it sets the stage for our body to heal naturally on its own.

On Pain Relief

Multiple research studies have shown that users have a significant reduction in pain from many varying conditions ranging from chronic back pain and sore muscles, to fibromyalgia and even the pain associated with the blood disease sickle cell anemia. A Japanese study found that patients suffering from fibromyalgia, a debilitating condition characterized by sleep disturbance and widespread pain, experienced a staggering 78% reduction in their pain after 10 sessions, and a 50% reduction after only one session.

On Detox

Our environment is becoming increasingly more toxic. Our bodies retain many of these poisons through air, water, and food products we intake. When toxins are present, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. Most of our toxic load is stored in fat, muscle, soft tissues and the organs of our bodies. Through perspiration, far infrared heat stimulates the release of these toxins and aids in the removal of them from the body.
