Far Infrared Therapy
When bodily tissues are exposed to far infrared waves, several bodily response mechanisms are activated, greatly accelerating all healing and cleansing processes. Far infrared waves have been widely studied by the scientific and medical communities for their beneficial health properties and are considered effective therapy for a wide range of conditions.
With customized temperature regulation, the Biomat can be used to achieve deep sauna level cleansing at it’s highest settings, and can also be used to sleep on comfortably overnight at it’s lowest settings for deeply regenerative sleep. Without the hazards of heating the head, or the negative EMF exposure commonly found in many traditional infrared saunas and heating devices, the Biomat is the safest and most effective infrared device available.
The adaptive capacity of a cell ultimately determines its fate when it comes under stress. Far infrared treatments reduce the stress on the cells by not only nourishing them with light and heat but also by increasing nutritional sufficiency of oxygen and by increasing cellular respiration so more toxins and wastes leave the cells. More good things come in and bad things go out.
Far-infrared or radiant heat (FIR) is part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight and a safe form of energy that heats objects by a process called direct light conversion. Radiant heat warms the objects around it without affecting the temperature of the surrounding free air. All warm-blooded animals emit far infrared/radiant heat, a beneficial and essential form of energy that has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect.
When FIR heat penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light to heat energy, dilating blood capillaries and assisting the body in eliminating toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating. Activated by heat, the FIR energy is absorbed by human cells in a process known as “resonance” or “resonant absorption.”
Far infrared lamps are used by doctors, chiropractors, physical and massage therapists and acupuncturists in the treatment of arthritis, joint pain, stiff muscles, and injuries to tendons and ligaments. Far infrared promotes faster bodily healing. According to Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi, tissues needing a boost in their output selectively absorb FIR rays.
Benefits of Far Infrared Therapy
Improves Circulation & Cardiovascular Function
The thermal effect of far infrared waves within the deepest layers of tissue causes the blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, promoting better blood circulation. As the body temperature rises there is an increase in peripheral blood flow and volume, resulting in improved circulation and heart function. Far Infrared heat strengthens the cardiovascular system by causing heart rate and cardiac output increases, and diastolic blood pressure decreases. More blood flow is diverted from the inner organs toward the extremities of the skin without raising the blood pressure. NASA concluded in the 1980′s, that far infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function is the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in astronauts involved in long space flights.
Improves Immune System Function
Far Infrared Ray’s deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial and healthy fever. As the body works to combat the “fever,” your body’s immune system is activated and strengthened. Combined with the detoxification of harmful toxins and waste products, your overall health and resistance to disease is improved greatly.
Relieves Pain
The deep heat of far infrared helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscles and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen rich blood to oxygen depleted muscles, so they recover faster.
Burns Calories and Controls Weight
As you relax in the gentle heat of Far Infrared your body is actually hard at work, producing sweat, pumping blood and burning calories. According to a Journal of the American Medical Association report, a single far infrared session, burns as many calories as rowing or jogging for 30 minutes.
Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness
Far Infrared heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many kinds of arthritis and musculo skeletal disorders. In addition, it has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other musculo skeletal aliments. Stiffness, aches and soreness that come with aging are reduced or eliminated using FIR. These long wave infrared rays penetrate through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues relieving shoulder pain, lumbago, and muscle fatigue.
Reduces Stress and Fatigue
The gentle warmth of the far infrared rays helps to sooth nerves and relax tight or knotted muscles. The end result is reduced stress and improved energy.
Improves Skin
Far Infrared heat helps to detoxify impurities from the skin and lymph. In addition, exfoliation is greatly enhanced by the Far Infrared, rapidly removing dead skin cells. Increased circulation draws your skin’s own natural nutrients to the surface, rejuvenating your skin’s health and appearance.
Speeds Cellular Metabolic Rate
Far infrared heat speeds cellular metabolic rates by stimulating the activity of mitochondria, and triggering enzyme activity, therefore promoting the killing of many pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. FIR energy strengthens the immune system by stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by the bone marrow and killer T-cells by the thymus gland.
Rebuilds Injured Tissue
Far infrared heat promotes the rebuilding of injured tissue by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for repair) and it increases the growth of cells, DNA and protein synthesis necessary during tissue repair and regeneration. Long wave infrared waves penetrate 14 to 15cm (6 inches) into the body which not only benefits the muscles on the surface of the body, but all cells including blood vessels, lymph glands, and nerves in the deepest parts of our body.
Relieves Nervous Tension
FIR energy relieves nervous tension. It reduces soreness in nerve endings and muscle spasms by heating the muscle fibers. It improves the balance of blood pressure, blood sugar, and nutrients in the cells, resulting in increased muscle strength, vitality and mental stability.
Removal of Toxins
One of the reasons FIR has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins, which are often at the core of many health problems. Since humans are bio-accumulators, numerous toxins, that cannot be removed immediately after entry, are stored in our bodies. For example, when toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or chlorine meet large water molecules, they are encapsulated by the clusters of water. Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. With the far infrared heat therapy, results show an improvement in the cleansing of the entire body. Improvement in the systems of the body is felt by some people in as little as one day, while others may take longer.
However, when a 10 micron FIR wave is applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released.
Diets and exercise do work to a certain extent, but there are scientific products developed in Japan that can help you get rid of the accumulated acidic toxins more easily and effortlessly. These products work no matter how busy you are, how old you are or how lazy you may be. As with diets and exercises, the results are not overnight; however, the process is the fastest among the methods using the natural process.
The problem is that the acid accumulation in our body is slow and our body adapts to it, so that we do not notice the fact that we are getting sick and old. By the time one feels pain caused by the acid accumulation, the damage is severe. One must start the process of reducing acidic wastes before the pain starts.
