Far Infrared (FIR)
Far infrared ray energy is a part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight, minus the skin damaging UV, which is why NASA spacecraft have utilized this heat. In Asia and Europe it has already revolutionized health and beauty products. Far Infrared ray is a form of light energy form the sun. It falls within the same family of Infrared Rays in the light spectrum, but due to its longer wavelengths the human eye, cannot see FIR. The energy is ESSENTIAL & BENEFICIAL for all human beings.
 
FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate & reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, promoting better blood circulation, and the heat produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.
 
The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into three segments by wavelength measured in microns. 0.076 to 1.5 microns is "near" infrared, 1.5 to 5.6 microns is "middle" infrared and 5.6 to 1000 microns is "far" infrared. This invisible band of light warms objects without warming the air between the source and the object. The best example of this is the sun. Recall standing in the sun on a cold day. You felt warmth from the sun even though the air temperature was cold. This warmth you feel is far infrared penetrating your body 1.5 to 3.5 inches. Infrared heat is, therefore, a completely safe energy that raises the temperature in objects without having to heat the air in between. Approximately 80% of the sun’s rays fall into the infrared range. (This should not be confused with ultraviolet rays which are harmful to the skin.) It is not visible to the human eye but can been seen with special cameras that translate the light into visible colors.
 
Our bodies also radiate far infrared energy through the skin at between 3 and 50 microns. Our palms emit energy between 8 and 14 microns. (You can experience this by holding your palms near each other without touching.) Palm healing, with a 3000 year history in China, is based on the natural healing properties of far infrared.
