Far Infrared Therapy

What is Far Infrared Therapy (FIR) and what does it do
Far Infrared Ray are waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body surface temperature and activate major bodily functions.

Benefits

1.	Far Infrared expands capillaries which stimulates increased blood flow, regenerating circulation and oxygenation.
2.	Far Infrared is excellent for detoxification. Scientist in Japan have reported that the FIR treatment of clogged capillaries, heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. FIR thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood; poisons, 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 pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated, accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin (sweat & oil glands), rather than by the kidneys.
3.	Far Infrared stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism, help burn calories by raising the metabolism and body temperature. FIR heat also breaks down cellulite, trapped water, fats and waste.
4.	Far Infrared promotes the killing of many pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
5.	Far Infrared promotes rebuilding of injured tissues by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells, DNA synthesis and protein synthesis, all necessary during tissue repair and regeneration. Excellent for healing burns, scar tissue and skin problems.
6.	Far Infrared relieves nervous tension and relaxes autoneuro muscles, thereby helping the body to make the most of its intended healing abilities. FIR reduces soreness of nerve endings and muscle spasms, as muscle fibers are being heated.
7.	Far Infrared strengthens the immune system by stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by the bone marrow and killer T-cells by the thymus.
8.	Far Infrared strengthens the cardiovascular system by causing the heart rate and cardiac output to increase, and diastolic blood pressure decreases. Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980 led to the conclusion that FIR stimulation of cardiovascular functions would be the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditions in American astronauts during long space flights.
