What is far infrared heat?Far-infrared waves are a safe form of light energy that is thermal. In other words, we experience infrared waves every day in the form of heat like sunlight, a fire or a warm sidewalk. Far-infrared waves heat objects by direct light conversion – a process that directly warms the object, not the surrounding air. It’s the heat you feel penetrate your skin when you stand in the sun - and miss when you walk into the shade. Far-infrared heat (FIR) is also referred to as radiant heat, infrared heat or infrared energy. Far-infrared heat has been widely used in the healthcare industry; in fact, many neonatal care units are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep babies warm. Far Infrared Heat is the invisible part of the Sun’s spectrum. It has nothing to do with the ultraviolet light which can damage your skin. FIR waves are capable of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body's surface temperature and activate major bodily functions.
Deep Penetrating HeatThe human body can easily absorb far-infrared heat because of its deep penetrating ability. Studies have shown that far infrared waves can actually penetrate up to 2-3 inches deep into muscular tissue and ligaments. When far infrared heat penetrates through the skin into muscular tissue and ligaments, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate which improves blood circulation and promotes healing and wellness. | | | Picture before using Therasage products with far infrared heat. Yellow indicates poor blood circulation. | After using Therasage products for 30 min. The orange color indicates better blood circulation. | After using Therasage products for 60 min. The red color indicates improved blood circulation. |
How does it work?Our bodies radiate far infrared energy through the skin at 3 to 50 microns, with most output at 9.4 microns.. Therasage products emit between 4-14 microns which matches so closely to the human body's radiant energy that our bodies take in close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin. Therefore, FIR rays have the ability to penetrate deeply (up to 3) and permeate thoroughly into the skin.
What are the benefits of far-infrared heat?Pain ReliefFar-infrared heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from an injury. Reduces Stress and Fatigue Far Infrared heat reduces stress by loosening the muscles and relaxing the body. The gentle warmth gives you an overall massaging effect, soothing jagged nerves and knotted muscles. You'll feel rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind. Improves Blood CirculationFar-infrared heat is absorbed by cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance". Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in a better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism. The increased blood circulation, but not blood pressure, stimulates the tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand accommodating the increased blood flow. Removes Harmful ToxinsWhen toxins are present, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body's immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult to fight disease. When far-infrared heat is applied, the large water molecules in our bodies that contain toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead, mercury and chlorine vibrate and are broken down. The encapsulated toxic materials and gases are then purged from the body through the skin, during perspiration. Improves Immune SystemThe infrared heat raises your inner body temperature, inducing an “artificial fever”. Fever is the body's natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as seen in the case of infection. This enhanced immune system, combined with improved elimination of toxins and wastes, increases your overall health and resistance to disease. Removes ToxinsFar Infrared Heat increases blood circulation and the lymphatic flow stimulating the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify the body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol.
