Far Infrared Saunas: Healing Power Unlike Any Other For the most part, the general public’s knowledge with Far Infrared was limited to the use of infrared heat lamps which generates radiant heat. By the mid 1960’s, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ascertained that a quantity of mineral oxides were capable of producing FIR waves. Following the use of different types of FIR products in the space program, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration made no further advancements using this technology. To the distinct advantage of everyone else, the Japanese forged ahead and developed over 150 products that required patents involving Far Infrared technology. Some of these include: FIR ovens that would replace microwaves, FIR panels for incubators in maternity wards, FIR wave-generating ceramics, and of course, Far Infrared saunas. In the course of the last 25 years, both Chinese and Japanese researchers and clinicians have performed widespread research on infrared treatments and have testified to abundant benefits. Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi adds to the understanding of the healing power of Far Infrared with his discussion of Resonant Absorption: These rays are selectively absorbed by the tissues. The internal production of infrared energy that normally occurs within our tissues is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue under repair. After boosting a tissues level to maximum, the remaining rays pass onward harmlessly. This phenomenon is called Resonant Absorption. The reason Infrared saunas are so unique is that they use radiant energy to directly penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of over 1.5”. Its energy output can be tuned to correspond so closely to the body’s own radiant energy so that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin. Less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Therefore, a Far Infrared based system can warm its user(s) to a much greater depth and much more effectively than a conventional sauna. This important difference explains many of the unparalleled benefits reported to be available through an Infrared Thermal System that are not achievable through the use of a standard sauna. Far Infrared saunas produce up to 2-3 times the sweat volume of a hot-air sauna while working at a considerably cooler air temperature range of 110 degrees to 130 degrees versus 180 degrees to 235 degrees for hot-air saunas. The lower heat scale is ideal for those apprehensive about cardiovascular risk factors that might be adversely affected by the higher temperature encountered in traditional hot-air saunas. A Broad Spectrum of Benefits A healthy sweat permits your skin to eradicate body wastes through perspiration. It considerably increases the detoxification capabilities of your skin and takes advantage of the skin’s ability to regulate its protective mantle and pH. However, the benefits of FIR sauna therapy extend far beyond a simple sweat. Far Infrared light infiltrates beyond superficial skin layers and is absorbed by cells and tissues below, whereas visible light is mostly bounced off the skin surface. Near infrared is most absorbed at the skin level and raises the skin temperature, however, Far Infrared waves can penetrate up to two inches, exciting the vibrational energy of molecules and resonating with cellular frequencies. We can not exactly perceive the deep heating effects of FIR, as our body’s capacity to sense heat is chiefly at the skin level. However, the effects of FIR rays encourage bioprocesses such as increased metabolism, blood circulation, immune system response, and core body temperature elevation. Infrared saunas encourage microcirculation, therefore supplying more oxygen to injured tissues in cartilage, joints and musculoskeletal tissues. Inflammation subsequently subsides. When the inflammation diminishes, not only does the occurrence of chronic degenerative diseases decrease, but overall health, energy, and well-being is elevated to a new plateau. There has even been outstanding improvement in cases of insomnia as well. Often times, chronic diseases are associated with the accumulation of toxic metals and petrochemicals that are located in fat cells and neighboring connective tissue. These toxins may plainly impede the cell’s aptitude to take delivery of oxygen and key nutrients that are contained in the bloodstream. In addition, toxins inhibit the pulsating quantum energy of these cells, as well as deter the purging of toxic metabolic waste. As the toxins slowly build up, the total toxic load in your body overpowers the immune system, as well as vital bioprocesses, generating various detrimental chemical changes that will virtually guarantee an array of chronic diseases that puzzle the majority of the medical profession. FIR sauna therapy offers a broad spectrum of benefits aimed at increasing your overall wellness. It dilates blood vessels to generate flushing, which mobilizes your blood supply. It assists in the excretion of toxic heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum. Far Infrared saunas fortify an overall youthfulness of skin from increased microcirculation, blood flow, and purging of trapped toxins. In accomplishing this, it is an effective tool in addressing various disorders such as acne rosacea, cellulite, eczema, and varicose veins. Yet most importantly, through the deep heating and efficient detoxification elements achieved with the use of a Far Infrared sauna, it is extremely effective in the treatment of debilitating and chronic diseases such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and many others that the mainstream medical profession has yet to provide a non-invasive solution for.
