If you have heard people talk about wellness products then you would have heard of Far infrared (FIR), but what is it? and how does it effect our bodies?

I am not a scientist or professor, but I have done my research. In this article I will go over a brief overview of Far infrared technology in LAYMANs terms that anyone can understand.

Our sun accounts for 99.8% of the energy mass in our solar system. The sun's rays provide the earth and its inhabitants with our primary source of energy, without which life would not survive.

One wavelength is the band of Far infrared rays discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1800's. FIR rays are produced by the sun's continual elemental chain reactions. Known as the 'Light of Life', infrared radiation is actually part of the sun's invisible spectrum. We can, however, feel the rays as heat.

Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. An interesting characteristic of FIR rays is how easily this energy can penetrate human tissue. Our bodies absorb the rays through the skin and eyes and this stimulates our metabolism in the same way Far infrared rays stimulate photosynthesis in plants.

Far-infrared rays in the wavelength 4-14 micron are the safest and most beneficial. The greatest output is around 9 microns, which is close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule. The human body is 70% water and Far infrared causes the body's water molecules to resonate. This dilates the capillaries and increases the pH within the body by reducing acidity, which then facilitates the removal of toxins from the body.

The amount of Far infrared we receive depends on factors like our environment and lifestyle. The human body needs continuous replenishment from a wide variety of ions, rays and other energy sources to top up the depleting elements we lose everyday.

Far infrared ceramic inserts were made commercially possible in Japan by utilizing NASA's innovative development of bio-ceramics. Far infrared therapy is now extensively used in Japan, Korea and China.

Far infrared white ceramic inserts emit Far infrared in the specific wavelength of 4 - 14 micron. This wavelength is the safest and most beneficial to humans and is identical to the Far infrared wavelength emitted by the sun.

Everyone to use or sell the technology is quick to point out they are not medical devices, they fall in the wellness products category. The only thing I can recommend is listening to the people that have used Far infrared products and hear what they say.
