How does FIR heating pad work

What is FIR therapy?

The visible range of the sun’s light includes our familiar rainbow of colors. But only 44% of the full spectrum of sunlight is in the visible range. High–frequency ultraviolet rays make up 4% and can age skin prematurely or cause cancerous changes. Low-frequency infrared rays make up 52%. They are not harmful and do not damage the skin. Infrared light transmits more heat than ordinary light. FIR far infrared heat therapy uses far-infrared light rays to provide some of the benefits of sunshine without direct exposure to the sun.

How does far infrared pad therapy work?

Absorption of the sun’s rays helps stimulate the body’s metabolism. We need light in order to properly absorb certain nutrients and minerals. A lack of sunlight can lead to lower immune function, tension, fatigue, depression, and insomnia. Far infrared light raises the body’s temperature. This increases circulation via the dilation of blood vessels, which does not increase blood pressure. FIR heat penetrates past the skin and our insulating fatty layer, 4-6 inches into the body. The fir heat resonates with the cells and invigorates them. The body responds to far infrared heating mats faster than to traditional heating pads, and the effects continue even after use is ended. The benefits of FIR therapy may be enhanced by natural jade or tourmaline. The infrared rays emitted by our pads vary from 4μm-14μm.

What are the benefits of fir heating pads?     

Researchers have found that FIR heating pads can improve blood circulation, reduce symptoms of chronic diseases, alleviate pain, revitalize skin cells, strengthen the brain, cardiovascular system, and nervous system, and help restore muscle and joint elasticity. Studies have shown that FIR therapy enhances blood circulation, reduces ischemia, exerts an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces pain, and promotes better sleep. FIR waves may also destroy cancer or viral cells. Unlike over-the-counter pain remedies, FIR therapy does not have gastrointestinal side effects.

How does a jade infrared heating pad work?

Jade and other elements (such as tourmaline, germanium, or ceramics) are heated to emit FIR (far infrared) rays that penetrate the body at a depth of 5.5-6 inches. Jade heating pad produces benefits from the skin to the deeper areas of the body. Jade is an efficient absorber of natural infrared heat and passes it along to the body gently and smoothly.

Jade stone heating pad also emits negative ions, which help to counteract electromagnetic radiation put out by electronic devices such as computers, cell phones, and microwaves. Since negative ionization happens quickly with jade pads, twenty to thirty minutes may be enough to produce results.
