This article will discuss the health benefits of Far Infrared (FIR) rays or light and its use as an alternative and complementary therapy to manage a variety health related ailments and illness.\u00a0 This article will also address FIR as a preventative measure to improving and maintaining a person\u2019s overall health and well being as we strive for new anti-aging tips and techniques to achieve longevity.<\/p>\n

First let\u2019s start by finding where FIR light or energy is located on the Electromagnetic Spectrum.\u00a0 As seen in Figure #1, FIR light has a lower frequency than visible light, thus a lower energy.\u00a0 \u00a0Another word for Infrared energy (IR) is radiant heat, a simple form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion.\u00a0 The sun produces energy in the infrared segment of this spectrum.\u00a0 Our atmosphere forms a window that allows FIR rays in the 7-14 micron range to safely reach the earth\u2019s surface. \u00a0\u00a0The sun is the principal source of radiant energy that we experience daily.<\/p>\n

Even though FIR rays are invisible, you can still feel them since they have a warming effect, similar to the feeling we get from the sun.\u00a0 If you have been in an Infrared Sauna, you know what this feels like.\u00a0 As shown in Figure #2, it is very warm and comforting and feels very similar to a traditional sauna.<\/p>\n

Unlike Ultra-Violet (UV) rays that may be harmful to the skin, especially due to over-exposure, FIR Rays provide a safe environment and provide an excellent alternative to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.\u00a0 We are careful here to mention that FIR Rays really heals nothing, but, that our bodies sometimes heal when given the proper support.<\/p>\n

Take for instance the FIR HotHouse by HTE Americas as shown below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The semi-circular arched design of the FIR HotHouse uses a multi-faceted, acute angle silicon surface which maximizes the penetration of the FIR rays.\u00a0 During operation the under-side surface becomes rather warm, thus contact with the skin should be avoided.\u00a0 Spacers are provided for larger persons to avoid the surface from touching the skin during a treatment.\u00a0 The dome is approximately 15\u201d wide and 14\u201d high at the middle of the dome.\u00a0 There are four (4) different time settings:\u00a0 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with an automatic shut-off feature.<\/p>\n

The FIR dome is placed over the various areas of the body, and the FIR Rays penetrate the skin up to 1.5 to 2 inches, thus working subcutaneously at the cellular level.\u00a0 The FIR Rays will cause the water molecules in the body to vibrate which reduces the ion bonds of the atoms holding the molecules of water together, thus creating a release of encapsulated gases and other toxic materials; lowering the toxic burden on the body promotes healing and health.<\/p>\n

Also the deep penetration of FIR Rays help expand capillaries and raise body temperature to a safe level to strengthen and accelerate the immune response.\u00a0 It has been documented that Hyperthermia is being researched in conjunction with cancer patients being treated with chemotherapy.\u00a0 Scientists all over the world are studying the effects of specific light wavelengths on our bodies and have discovered the warming effects of FIR Rays to stimulate the body\u2019s metabolism and improve blood circulation.\u00a0 These FIR Rays may also promote the elimination of toxins associated with aging and fatigue such as, heavy metals, uric acid and lactic acid, thus reducing pain and inflammation.\u00a0 FIR Therapy is also excellent for athletes to promote muscle recovery from strenuous exercise.<\/p>\n

Below is a partial list of some common ailments and illness that may be managed with the help of FIR Therapy.\u00a0 Far Infrared has been beneficial to others with some of the following health challenges:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Arthritis<\/p>\n

\u2022 Earaches<\/p>\n

\u2022 Knee Injuries<\/p>\n

\u2022 Acne<\/p>\n

\u2022 Asthma<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chronic Pain<\/p>\n

\u2022 Headaches<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bed Sores<\/p>\n

\u2022 Blood Pressure Problems<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chest Colds<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bronchitis<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gout<\/p>\n

\u2022 Eczema<\/p>\n

\u2022 Muscle Pain<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fungal Infections<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rheumatism<\/p>\n

\u2022 Diabetes<\/p>\n

This technology is available at Bhakti Wellness Center.\u00a0 A typical FIR Session lasts 30 minutes on the SOQI Bed with the person lying on their back, covered with 3 FIR HotHouses, thus covering approximately 70% of the body.\u00a0 In addition to building the immune system, the session is very relaxing and reduces stress.\u00a0 Many people use SOQI Bed Therapy as a preventative measure on a routine basis to improve their overall health and well being.<\/p>\n

Individual sessions and packages are available.\u00a0 To book a FIR Therapy Session, contact:<\/p>\n
