Benefits of Far Infrared Heat Therapy (FIR)

Benefits of Far Infrared Heat Therapy (FIR) in Healthy Wave Mats

According to multiple studies, infrared radiation is an invisible form of electromagnetic energy, the wavelength of which is longer than that of visible light. Infrared radiation probably enables multiple forms of energy to be transferred into subcutaneous tissue without stimulation or excessive heating.

How Does Far Infrared Heat Therapy Work?

Far Infrared Heat therapy is one of several innovative non-intrusive health therapies that are growing in prominence for the treatment of chronic and deliberating pain. The therapy uses certain wavelengths of light that are delivered to sites of the body that have injuries. In other words, Far-infrared heat therapy uses far-infrared radiation, which refers to a subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum. Healthy Wave mats use gemstones (jade, amethyst & tourmaline) to generate the far-infrared heat.

You can receive far-infrared heat through the sun. However, the drawbacks can be dangerous due to ultraviolet light – which has damaging effects upon the tissues and cells of the body –. Infrared Heat also improves the circulation of oxygen-rich blood in the body, promoting faster healing of deep tissues and relieving pain

One of the characteristics of infrared heat therapy is its ability to penetrate below the skin layers, providing a much greater depth which is able to effectively provide pain relief. In fact, this non-invasive, natural, and painless process can offer a enormous assortment of health benefits, without damaging the skin through UV radiation.
Furthermore, far-infrared heat therapy (FIR) expands the blood vessels for better circulation in the human body. The positive externality of this effect is that the immune system can now efficiently deliver the healing process to an affected part of the body. In addition, because Far Infrared Heat is a targeted pain relief technology it doesn’t heat the core temperature of the body which is great for seniors.

Far Infrared Heating in Healthy Wave Mats

Far-infrared (FIR) radiation is an electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength of 3 to 100 μm. It has been observed that FIR can stimulate cell proliferation, increase tissue regeneration in vitro, and increase the topical skin temperature.1,2 Recent studies have been demonstrated that FIR has been used for soothing effect and reducing pain of the wound site after standard medical wound treatments, even in clinical observations where wounds under exposure to FIR decreased the wound healing times.3,4 However, FIR treatment is considered as an alternative medicine because no consensus has been reached regarding its role in the treatment of wounds according the research by Shanshan Shui.

Effects of far-infrared therapy

In conclusion, far infrared heat is one of the best therapeutic therapies as it has been proven to have the following benefits: temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness; the temporary relief of joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, minor strains and sprains; muscular relaxation; and the temporary increase of local circulation where applied. There is extensive clinical research showing these benefits

Far Infrared Heating in Healthy Wave Mats Continued…

Far Infrared Heat Therapy is set in motion when when the crystal gemstones in the mat are heated up. The heat will penetrate several inches into your body while at the same time bringing negative ions which help neutralize and balance the abundance of positive ions in your body that are known as free radicals.

Free Radicals come from being around an abundance of technology all day which can lead to a variety of different symptoms such as migraines, Oxidative Stress, back pain and sleep deprivation just to name a few.
