Scientists have been studying specific wavelengths of light such as far infrared for decades. Far infrared rays are the safest part of the sun’s energy spectrum and a growing body of evidence supports their use as a non-invasive health promoter.
To understand how far infrared works, remember the last time you were sunbathing with sunscreen? Were you still warm? Of course! The heat you felt was not from the ultraviolet rays, but the far infrared light from the sun. The thermal effects of far infrared heat are deep penetrating, warming your soft tissues, muscles, and joints. In contrast to traditional heating pads that do not penetrate the subcutaneous skin layer, far infrared penetrates deep into discomforted tissues.
Scientists have found that far infrared therapy significantly increases skin microcirculation in treated animals.1 The main benefit of this deep penetrating heat is improved flexibility and relief from common discomforts. In fact, physical therapists often use far infrared therapy to soothe their patients’ body aches.
A new manufacturing process using far infrared has made it possible to harness this radiant energy in your own home. The Therasage Far Infrared Pad features natural jade stones, one of the best natural conductors of far infrared energy, to ensure maximum heat transference deep into your tissues as well as even distribution over your body. |
