Far Infrared

The most common use of far infrared ray therapy is to assist the body in temporarily relieving minor muscle and joint pain. FIR slightly increases the temperature of the surface level of your body. This may help to deliver more oxygen to the places and areas of the body that require the most attention to maximize your wellness levels. This therapy is particularly beneficial for people that suffer from Arthritis, lower back pain, or even just your everyday aches. Far infrared rays are more effective for pain relief than traditional heating pads because their rays penetrate 4-6 inches below the surface level of the skin.

Far infrared rays function very successfully when it comes to natural detoxification. They can help the body reduce water retention, and eliminate metals. As a result of better wellness, people often see a reduction in fatigue and an improvement in their focus and energy levels. These toxins cannot be expelled instantly, so they accumulate in our bodies, encapsulated in water molecules. These trapped toxins lead to blocked blood circulation, impaired cellular energy, and illness. When we are exposed to FIR waves, the molecules trapping toxins inside us vibrate and break apart, and are expelled through excessive sweating caused by FIR heat therapy. FIR is a safe and effective way to detoxify and is considered seven times more effective than steam saunas or conventional heat.

There are multiple ways to receive FIR treatment that revolve around improving your general quality of life. The two most common are infrared saunas and infrared mats. Saunas are great for assisting in the management of symptoms of joint pain and inflammation. FIR saunas also have a secondary function of helping your body sweat out all the “bad stuff.” Recent studies published in Clinical Rheumatology found that infrared saunas can reduce muscular pain and stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis patients. While infrared saunas are not easily accessible for many people, FIR mats provide temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness (especially pain associated with arthritis), the temporary relief of muscle spasms and sprains, and the temporary increase of local circulation where applied. Mats are best used on a bed and can even be used throughout the night for overnight wellness-restoring intentions. By having access to an infrared mat at home, you can trap the heat with mat and create your own personal sauna experience.

Muscular back pain relief is one of the most exciting FIR therapy research areas. If you suffer from chronic lower back pain, you know that most treatment options are risky and require long-term recovery periods. However, FIR mats have been shown in studies to provide temporary minor pain relief in the lower back when applied daily. FIR therapy is a drug-free, surgery-free option to manage some of the symptoms associated with chronic muscular back pain.

FIR can help provide comfort and improve quality of life for those living with chronic fatigue syndrome. If you are searching for answers to your struggle with CFS, FIR therapy may be beneficial for multiple symptoms affecting you. Research indicates that consistent daily thermal therapy (including FIR therapy) has promising benefits for CFS patients. FIR therapy can support your efforts to improve your energy levels, maximize your comfort, and minimize minor aches and pains associated with CFS.

Anyone seeking a non-pharmaceutical solution for boosting mood and reducing symptoms of chronic pain should consider FIR therapy. Thermal therapy has been used for years as a drug-free treatment for chronic pain patients. Researchers at Japan’s Nishi Kyusyu University discovered that infrared sauna heat therapy can have a significant impact on chronic pain sufferers’ overall well-being and ability to function. Whether you are suffering from pain or overall sickness, FIR therapy can help restore your wellness levels and live more comfortably.
