Infrared Heat Blood Circulation and Detoxification

Infrared heat, also called far-infrared heat, is a good thing. Infrared Heat penetrates deep through the skins layers to the muscle tissue and through the blood.  Infrared heat heals and helps improve blood circulation. It gets the blood pumping through the veins to distribute oxygen, nutrients and hormones throughout the body and removing waste and toxins from your system. Poor diet, cigarettes, alcohol and medications all play a role in adding unwanted toxins to the blood. Infrared heat works to detoxify the blood.

What are the benefits of far-infrared heat?

Pain Relief
Far infrared heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from an injury.

Reduces Stress and Fatigue
Far Infrared heat reduces stress by loosening the muscles and relaxing the body. The gentle warmth gives you an overall massaging effect, soothing jagged nerves and knotted muscles. You'll feel rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind.

Improves Blood Circulation
Far-infrared heat is absorbed by cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance". Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in a better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism. The increased blood circulation, but not blood pressure, stimulates the tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand accommodating the increased blood flow.

Removes Harmful Toxins
When toxins are present, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body's immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult to fight disease. When far-infrared heat is applied, the large water molecules in our bodies that contain toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead, mercury and chlorine vibrate and are broken down. The encapsulated toxic materials and gases are then purged from the body through the skin, during perspiration.

Boost Immune System
The infrared heat raises your inner body temperature, inducing an “artificial fever”. Fever is the body's natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as seen in the case of infection. This enhanced immune system, combined with improved elimination of toxins and wastes, increases your overall health and resistance to disease.
