What is Far Infrared Rays (FIR)?

I was in the dark when I first heard that Vken Ultimate Products series make use of Far Infrared Rays (FIR) as part of the health therapy for various health problems. From what I read, there are two main reasons all living things need sunshine, far infrared heat and vitamin D apart from the light enable their daily activities such as moving around, working , looking for food and many other things.

FIR is the 'warm' energy in humans, animals and plants, emitted from sunlight. The intensity of Far Infrared produced by the human body constantly fluctuates. When the intensity is high, we feel healthy and better equipped to deal with physical challenges. When the Far Infrared begins to decline, we are subject to becoming unwell and tend to age more quickly. We can be exposed to pure Far Infrared heat for hours and it will not cause our skin to burn, in fact the Japanese use it to promote healing from sunburn. Far Infrared heat is completely healthy and safe for all living things.

What is Far Infrared therapy (FIR) andwhat does it do:

Far Infrared Ray are waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, which penetrate the surface of the skin where they gently and elevate the body's surface temperature to 107.6F/42C and above, whilst positively activating body systems and functions.

History - How Far Infrared heat therapy came into being:

Our bodies radiate far infrared energy through the skin at 3 to 50 microns, with most output at 9.4 microns. Our palms emit FIR energy also, between 8 and 14 microns. 'Palm Healing', an ancient tradition in China, has used the healing properties of far infrared rays for 3,000 years. These natural healers emit energy and heat radiating from their hands to heal, much the same as Reiki healers do. Current research conducted in Taiwan has measured significant far infrared energy emitted from the hands of Chi Gong masters. Yogis in India also employ palm healing and recommend it especially for relieving eye strain. Thermal therapy has in fact been in existence for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Finns, the Romans, the ancient Chinese, the American Indians, and the Egyptians 5,000 years ago.

Sunshine:

Since ancient times, people have known that exposure to sunshine can maintain and enhance health. Sun therapy is a form of natural FIR thermal therapy. Far Infrared Ray are the invisible rays of natural sunlight that have the longest wavelength. However, sunbathing should only be enjoyed in moderation since sunlight contains ultra-violet ray which can burn the skin. There is also no temperature control, and sunshine is only available seasonally. Pure Far Infrared heat emitted from healing units unfortunately does not contain Vitamin D, but fortunately, if does not contain ultra violet ray.

Far Infrared Technology Today:

For many decades, scientific evidence has found that heat can maintain and enhance the wellness of the human body. Scientists have researched different ways in how to develop more effective forms of thermal heat therapy that target specific areas and enable deep heat penetration.

Traditional forms of heat therapy can be hazardous, uncomfortable, unhygienic, inefficient and ineffective. Traditional saunas create exposure to extremely high temperatures causing heat stress which can have detrimental effects on health, especially for people with heart challenges or needing to sustain blood pressure. Thermal compression's and wraps are uncomfortable, heat is easily lost, temperature does not remain constant and maintaining a thermal compression or wrap can be problematic and inconvenient.

Research and development in the sixties - notably most extensively in Japan and also Germany - introduced the Far Infrared Ray (FIR) thermal technology. This revolutionized thermal technology to an effective, safe, natural, hygienic, and efficient approach to thermal treatment. Today there are multiple health and medical professionals internationally who rehabilitate and look after numerous physical challenges by using heat therapy for humans and as well as animals. Relief for sports injuries via thermal therapy is one example, whilst detoxification is another (research PubMed.gov for worldwide medical citations).

The Japanese and Far Infrared Products:

The Japanese have extensively researched Far Infrared Technology for use in the fields of healing, preservation, cooking, drying and heating. Well over 150 significant patents were granted between 1977-1987.

List of Far Infrared products available in Japan today:

FIR sleeping pads and heaters - Instant warmth even though air temperature remains cool - Infrared sauna.

FIR plastic plate to keep fish and vegetables fresher and longer in your refrigerator.

FIR ovens replacing harmful microwaves - Cooks more uniformly than conventional.

FIR ceramic paper and ceramics.

FIR fabrics - socks, gloves, jackets, car seats - Wool and cotton impregnated with ceramic insulating powder.

FIR fabric keeps body warm in a cold environment whilst providing passive FIR health benefits.

FIR hair dryer - Cooler and faster, reduces damaged hair, now popular worldwide.

FIR clinical treatments - FIR panels for incubators in maternity wards.

Far Infrared Medical Healing Worldwide.

Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have completed extensive research on far infrared heat therapy and report many amazing discoveries. In Japan, there is an 'Infrared society' composed of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to further Far Infrared heat research. Their findings support the outstanding health benefits of Far Infrared thermal therapy as a natural method of healing.

Dr. Tadashi Ishikawa, a member of the Research and Development Department of Fuji Medical, received a patent in 1965 for a zirconia ceramic infrared heater used in the first healing infrared thermal systems. Medical practitioners in Japan were the only ones using infrared thermal systems for 14 years. In 1979, they were finally released for public use. The technique has been further refined into far infrared thermal systems that have been sold in the USA since the 1980's. One use of Far Infrared heat in the USA has been in the form of panels used in hospital nurseries to warm newborns.

There have been well over 700,000 far infrared thermal systems sold in Asia for whole body treatments. An additional 30 million plus people have received localized far infrared treatment in Asia, Europe, and Australia with FIR lamps, which emit the same 2-25 micron wave bands as employed in a whole body system. In Germany, physicians in an independently developed form have used whole body Far Infrared therapy for over 80 years.

Far Infrared technology is generating outstanding results and is rapidly gaining worldwide recognition and acclaim: The benefits of FIR technology are truly phenomenal beyond the initial feelings of well being and relaxation. A wide variety of far infrared units are available to the public internationally.

Many traditional saunas now incorporate Far Infrared, but the accuracy of the benefits must be taken into consideration due to factors such as the distance from the source of Far Infrared to the body (FIR waves need to be close to the body as the further away from the body, the less effective), the effectiveness of the actual elements used to generate the Far Infrared heat, and the range of microns emitted - 7-11 being the mostbeneficial to the human body.
