Infrared energy is not only safe, but highly beneficial
for our bodies. Far Infrared lamps are actively used for
medical treatments by doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists,
physical therapists, and massage therapists for arthritis,
joints pain, stiff muscles, injuries to tendons and ligaments
to promote a faster self body healing effect.
Infrared heat is "radiant" heat. Radiant heat
is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through
a process called conversion, without having to heat the
air in between.
Radiant heat is also called Infrared Energy. The infrared
segment of the electromagnetic spectrum cannot be seen,
but can be perceived as heat. Our sun produces most of its
energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Our
atmosphere has a "window" in it that allows infrared
engergy rays in the 7 ~ 14 micron range to safely reach
the earth's surface. When warmed, the earth radiates infrared
rays in the 7 ~ 14 micron band with its peak output at 10
microns.
According to Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi, in his summation
on the mechanism of actions of infrared devices tuned to
the human body; tissues needing a boost in their output
selectively absorb these rays. The internal production of
the 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, which is being repaired.
After boosting a tissue's level to its maximum, the remaining
rays pass onward harmlessly. This phenomenon is called "resonant
absorption."
Regular use of a sauna may be as effective as a means of
cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular
exercise.
