Harnessing The Therapeutic Benefits Of The Sun
What Is Far InfraRed? Far InfraRed is a natural form of electromagnetic light energy from the Sun. This energy is absolutely essential for ALL living things in the world, especially human beings! Far InfraRed, by its physical properties, has a deep penetrating power. It can penetrate the skin into the subcutaneous tissues to:
Upon penetrating the skin, Far InfraRed transforms light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of the tissues causes blood vessels and capillaries to dilate; therefore, promoting better blood circulation. Global pollution diminishes the opportunities for human bodies to absorb FIR from the Sun, as our ancestors did. The FIR from the Sun is: Blocked by fog, smog, polluted air and high-rise buildings. Affected by electronic pollution, the Electro Magnetic Frequency (EMF) emitted by hi-tech products, such as microwave ovens, cellular telephones, computers, fax machines and many other electrical appliances, etc. The inadequacy of FIR absorption causes many types of diseases including, but not limited to: Asthma, Headaches, Contusions, Migraines, Muscular Pain, Nervousness, Depression, Fatigue, Stomach Ulcers, Gastric troubles, Constipation, High and Low Blood Pressure, Poor Circulation, Chronic Bronchitis, Insomnia . . . All humans send and receive Far InfraRed energy waves. Within the magnetic spectrum, while certain rays, such as light, can be seen by the unaided human eye, most of them are totally invisible to us. Far Infrared Rays are far beyond the ability of the naked eye to be seen. The range of Far InfraRed waves generated by the body is 3 to 50 microns; the greatest output is around 9.4, which is very close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule. This similarity makes sense, since our bodies are approximately 70% water. Any substance with similar resonance can absorb energy from each other easily. Consequently, when you are physically close to someone, you are both sending and receiving Far InfraRed energy. When heated, the Earth emits Far InfraRed waves at around the 10-micron level, as do most organic substances and plants. The FIR waves between 4 and 14 microns, sometimes referred to as the “Vital Rays”, appear to have special regenerative effects on the body. When any tissue of the body is exposed to FIR waves, whether radiated by sunlight, reflected by special coated fabrics, or ceramic panels, there is a rapid increase in warmth, which can be clearly demonstrated in Thermagraphic Imaging (Thermography). This very special FIR therapeutic heat, plus the activation of several other response mechanisms, stimulates the healing process in the human body. Far InfraRed has three properties: Radiation, Deep Penetration, and Resonance-Absorption. Let’s take a look at the relationship between these three properties and living things:
In summary, Far InfraRed not only makes the human body pleasantly warm, but it also can activate bodily functions. It will further enhance and energize both your physical and spiritual state, providing a better overall sense of well-being.
The Far InfraRed Dome produces its unique effect through radiant Far Infrared heat. Its unique arched design enhances the thermal-effect. You get total enjoyment - it is completely safe and very comfortable.
Microwave research specialists in Shanghai, China, found that "QiGong" (pronounced “chi kung”) Masters radiated some sort of energy. They recorded some of the common wavelengths they emanated. Equipment was then manufactured that would radiate energy at these same frequencies. These devices are now being used to treat patients with the same beneficial effect as the "QiGong" Masters. This has been verified in trials with patients suffering from hypertension and nerve-related diseases. The bodies of ordinary humans can also radiate energy, but it is generally too weak to perceive. When a "QiGong" Master produces "Qi", its strength is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and can only be measured by very sensitive instruments. They can also radiate Far InfraRed (FIR) energy of varying frequencies, which is something ordinary people cannot do. The varying nature of this energy is very significant. Successful treatment depends entirely on these changing wavelengths. In QiGong therapy, Qi energy radiated by a QiGong Master is called, “external Qi”. Qi circulating within the body is disturbed, resulting in an imbalance in bodily mechanisms. With the help of "imported energy" – i.e., new energy obtained from a Qi Master – each mechanism can resume proper function and the disease is cured. This is based on the same principles as acupuncture, electrotherapy, magnetic gas, and Far InfraRed; they are employed to combat disease and maintain health. When FIR penetrates our bodies, it can be converted into the appropriate energy. This activates the self-regulating systems in our living tissue so as to alleviate the bodily imbalance and lead to recovery. The human body is a natural thermal source. Physicists hold that any thermal source can radiate FIR; therefore, the human body is also a natural FIR radiant source. Research shows that the FIR wavelengths radiated by human skin is in the 3-50 micron range. It turns out that 46% of the total energy radiated by the human body is in the 8 to 14 micron range. Research also shows that the wavelength radiated from typical infrared lamps (80%) is less than 3 microns. Consequently, they will not have much effect on the human body. The effect of traditional infrared therapy cannot be compared to the new types of Far InfraRed Therapy. Far InfraRed Rays can have considerable effects on the human body: FIR can elevate the temperature of subcutaneous layers thus expanding blood capillaries, stimulating blood circulation, increasing metabolism between blood and tissue, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing cramping. It is also effective in adjusting the autonomic nerve function and reducing the over stimulation of sensory nerves. Therefore, FIR can be not only a beneficial health therapy, but a substitute for other therapeutic modalities. One scientific journal announced, "Because of its heat penetration property, FIR radiates to the meridian points of human body, just as acupuncture needles reach deep into tissues but without leaving any marks on the exterior dermis." Far InfraRed Rays (FIR), a part of natural sunlight having the longest wavelength, cannot be seen with the naked eye. When we bask in the sun, the sunlight activates every cell in the human body. Since ancient times, people have believed that appropriate exposure to sunshine can maintain and even enhance health. However, long exposure to the summer sun has a negative impact on the skin. This fact is undeniable. Excessive sunlight can lead to freckles or other skin changes, some of which can be detrimental. Although FIR cannot be seen with the naked eye, it has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. All matter is made up of uniquely arranged atoms and molecules, and the molecules are all moving in unison. Molecules are composed of atoms. There is a continuous cyclical vibration among and between those atoms. When molecules are illuminated with electromagnetic radiation of the same intrinsic vibration frequency as the substance itself, the electromagnetic wave energy is absorbed and the amplitude of that substance's molecular vibration is increased. The increased vibration produces heat through friction. Many organic molecules have the same intrinsic vibration frequency as FIR. That's why when FIR (having the same vibration frequency), illuminates a substance, that substance will filter out the FIR and experience "resonance absorption." This is a process known as "resonance-absorbtion to heat-generation" with the aid of FIR. In other words, the vibration of atoms and molecules will generate heat and result in resonance absorption. In skin, the result will be elevated dermis temperature, expanded blood capillaries, and stimulated blood circulation. Metabolic disturbances, such as extravasated blood (bruising) will be scavenged, cell tissues are activated and production of enzymes is enhanced. Wastes from the aging process, the result of the natural process of metabolism, and detrimental aqueous substances will be eliminated through the sweat glands. The warming effect of FIR can stimulate metabolism and blood circulation. It can also promote the elimination of such things as poisonous, carcinogenic heavy metals, toxic substances from food processing, lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue, excess sodium associated with hypertension, and uric acid, which causes discomfort and pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated, accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin rather than by the kidneys. Far InfraRed therapy is helpful in this respect. When we feel hot, we will instinctively seek shade. When we feel cold, we seek the warmth of sunshine. No one needs to teach us these responses. We have an innate desire for a comfortable temperature. Comfortable temperatures are actually synonymous with a comfortable energy frequency or "wavelength". That wavelength happens to be 8 to 14 microns - the same as FIR. The 70% of our bodies composed of water, protein, fat and other substances, all must function properly to sustain life. When living things absorb Far InfraRed energy at 8 to 14 micron wavelength, they experience resonance absorption. The vibrating movement of molecules in living tissue produces an increase in heat energy, which, in turn, activates cells and enhances metabolism. Infrared, or radiant heat, has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb). 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 (IR). Our sun is the principal source of radiant energy that we enjoy daily (some more so than others). Far-infrared heat follows the same principle – warm the injury site to speed up the healing process. Why is infrared heat better than, say, a heating pad? Because the vibrational energy of far infrared light is unlike that of the heat energy we use for everyday functions, like cooking – or a heating pad. Boiling water could actually damage our skin but it doesn't heat internal organs. Some companies have captured the essence of this healing energy by creating spruce saunas and smaller wraps for localized healing in specific areas of the body. Some of these spruce saunas have been created using wood that contains no pesticides for better tolerance and detoxification. As for infrared's outstanding effect on caloric consumption and weight control, we find that burning from 600 to 2,400 calories in a 30-minute session to be quite routine. The infrared thermal system might then simulate the consumption of energy equal to that expended in a 6 to 9 mile run during only a single session. This would be invaluable for those who don't exercise and those who can't exercise, yet want an effective weight control and fitness maintenance program. The value of far infrared therapy cannot be ignored, especially in view of the fact that millions suffer from toxic overload and its vast array of symptoms. Perhaps many more will come to view it as the body care system of the future – just like NASA's astronauts and newborn babies have.

Facts About Far InfraRed Treatment Treatment sessions generally last 20 minutes to an hour. Initially, relief is only temporary, but with regular, repeated treatments, the duration of relief becomes longer and eventually it is lasting. There are guidelines for dosage, intensity and duration of treatment - one should not experience pain, nor have a marked perception of heat. Following treatment, the skin may be slightly pinker than usual, and 30 to 60 minutes after a treatment, the treated area should feel as though it has been massaged. Of 150 patients given clinical treatment for sciatica, trifacial neuralgia, articular rheumatism, and stiffness in the shoulders, 70 percent experienced improvement or complete relief. Moreover, very good results were achieved and pain was relieved in cases of shoulder stiffness, bursitis, and lumbago, after as few as one or two treatments. Speed of effectiveness and range of applicability are much better than for other heat therapies.

Far InfraRed is capable of penetrating deep into the human body. It can gently and delightfully elevate the body's temperature. When it does so, it helps expand capillaries, which stimulates blood circulation. This increases the body's energy reserve, and accelerates the metabolic exchange between blood and body tissue. FIR can actually increase the body tissue's regenerative ability. It also reduces abnormalities in nervous system and helps the autonomous system function properly. Now that Far InfraRed's outstanding properties are gaining worldwide recognition and acclaim, we are beginning to see it appear in a wide variety of medical applications.
