Far Infrared has the power to heal the human body

Harness the power of the sun. Far infrared is part of the sun’s invisible light spectrum that is essential to plants, animals and humans. Infrared heat is a form of energy that penetrates the body by warming muscles and tissue directly without heating the intervening air. The body produces infrared energy to keep us warm and repair body tissue. Far infrared energy is radiated through the skin at 3 to 50 microns with the greatest output at 9.4 microns. Occasionally the infrared energy in our body tissue needs a boost to insure healing and tissue repair. The body will selectively absorb infrared to boost a tissue’s infrared energy. This process is called resonant absorption. Far infrared rays are completely safe and are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies.

Benefits of Far Infrared on the Human Body

The human body also absorbs infrared in the 3 to 50 micron range, The far infrared waves between 6 to 14 microns have proven to have special regenerative effects on the body, with an optimum absorption at the 9.4 micron frequency. TheraSauna® emits the greatest amount of infrared in the 9.4 micron range. When any cell or tissue in the body is exposed to these levels of infrared heat, response mechanisms stimulate the healing process in the body.

• Benefits of Far Infrared Heat Waves:
  • Dilate blood vessels and capillaries, providing increased flow of rich oxygenated blood to muscles and joints
  • Reduce muscle spasms and promote healing of injured and sore muscle fibers
  • Improves flow within the lymphatic system to reduce swelling and inflammation
  • Stimulates cellular and enzyme activity
  • Promotes the adhesion and osmosis of water molecules across the cellular membrane
  • Relieves pain and stiffness from Arthritis, Bursitis, and Rheumatism
  • Relieves asthma
  • Improves cardiovascular conditioning and allows for a cardiovascular workout even for those that might not otherwise be able to exert themselves – like wheelchair bound persons
  • Normalizes cholesterol and lowers blood pressure
  • Relieves tension, stress and fatigue
  • Aids in removing toxins from the body
  • Expands blood vessels
  • Helps boost and improve the immune system
  • Stimulates cellular and enzyme activity
  • Assists in improving skin tone and reducing cellulite
  • Burns calories and regulates weight - burns as much as 700 calories per session!
  • Great before a workout, run or massage
  • Used by medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, physical therapists, sports medicine specialists and NASA since 1965

 

Doctors in Europe and Japan have conducted extensive research on the therapeutic uses of infrared. Far infrared treatments have shown Medical Benefits in a variety of illnesses. Far infrared waves speed removal of toxins from the body, which are often a major contributor to various health problems.

Numerous toxins are absorbed and stored in our bodies. Toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and substances like lead, mercury, and chlorine are encapsulated by large water molecules. When toxins are present in the body, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body’s immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease.

However, when 9.4 microns of far infrared are applied, the large water molecules vibrate and breakdown the ion bond to release the encapsulated gases and toxic materials. Far infrared heat has been used in the treatment of clogged capillary vessels; this heat expands the capillaries and skin pores to expel toxins from the body.

TheraSauna is made with non-toxic and non-allergenic Aspen Hardwood

Infrared energy heats objects (like your body and the inside wood of the sauna) directly and penetrates up to 2 inches below the surface. Cedar and redwood contain a natural insecticide within the wood called turbines. When these naturally occurring oils within the wood are heated, they gas off a substance called cedrine. Cedrine attacks the central nervous system of insects and kills them. It can also cause vomiting and convulsions in humans. TheraSauna® is made of Aspen, which is a clear wood grown at elevations where the trees do not produce an insecticide. Aspen is 99% non-toxic and non-allerg

Health concerns related to different types of woods used for saunas

• Aspen – No health effects.
• Cedar – Asthma, allergic contact dermatitis sensitizer, decrease in lung function, eye irritation, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, convulsions, vomiting and effects on the central nervous system.
• Hemlock – Skin irritation, decreased lung function, rhinitis.
• Basswood – Skin irritation.
• Birch – Irritant dermatitis.
• Spruce – Skin irritation, wood pulp workers disease.
• Oak – Nasal Cancer.
• Pine – Skin Irritation.
• Poplar – Contact dermatitis, rhinitis.

The best far infrared heating system is a solid Ceramic TheraMitter™ heater, because it is a proven system, while others like steel rod, aluminum, or carbon heating systems are touted as new technologies. The radiant efficiency of a heating material is an extremely important factor to its far infrared qualities. For this reason, ceramic TheraMitter™ remains the gold standard for producing the most vital micron range of infrared for the human body.
