Promote circulation and deep detoxification
Far infrared rays can promote the movement of capillaries and peripheral blood vessels and increase blood flow. Therefore, it has the effect of reducing blood viscosity, promoting blood circulation and improving microcirculation. Far infrared rays can activate water molecules, make them collide with each other to generate energy, and thus emit heat and generate heat. Far infrared rays can make the deep waste under the human skin be discharged in the form of sweat through self-heating, and the sweating effect is ideal. Through sweating, far infrared rays can discharge the waste and heavy metals deposited in the body and play a role in promoting metabolism. Through realizing cell tissue activation, far infrared rays can remove subcutaneous waste, promote skin breathing and realize skin regeneration.
Burn fat and lose weight, shape the body
Energy consumption at rest accounts for about 50-60% of total energy and occupies an important position. And sweat steaming belongs to the far infrared high-temperature environment therapy in a resting state. The high-temperature environment can make the heat generated by the human body not easy to dissipate, promote the body temperature to rise, and lead to the enhancement of the body's energy metabolism. First of all, the far infrared rays generated in the sweat steaming room have effects such as "resonance, penetration and warmth", which can promote the movement of cells inside the human body and enhance the circulatory system. And fat begins to dissolve when the ambient temperature reaches 42°C, and the dissolution speed accelerates with the increase of temperature. Secondly, when the ambient temperature in the sweat steaming room is higher than the skin temperature, at this time, the only way for the skin to dissipate heat is evaporation. The body shows that the moisture changes from liquid to gaseous. At this time, the latent heat of vaporization of each gram of water evaporated can take away 1000 calories of heat. When sweating steaming, the heat dissipation of obese people mainly relies on evaporation to achieve energy consumption. Sweat improves metabolic power by means of latent heat of vaporization, consumes excess fat and shapes the body.
Tonify deficiency and dispel cold, warm meridians and dredge collaterals
According to "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", "nine out of ten diseases are caused by cold". According to traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and classification, deficiency-cold type is in the majority. According to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, "tonify deficiency when there is deficiency" and "warm when there is cold". Far infrared rays have a heating effect and can tonify deficiency and dispel cold, warm meridians and dredge collaterals. Therefore, it has a better curative effect on chronic lumbar muscle strain. Moreover, experiments have confirmed that the effect of far infrared rays is better than that of applying musk analgesic plaster.
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic, tissue repair
Far infrared irradiation can improve blood circulation and tissue nutrition, promote the absorption of exudates, eliminate swelling, enhance immune function, and improve the phagocytic ability of phagocytes. It is suitable for the absorption and dissipation of various types of chronic inflammation, such as neuritis, myositis, arthritis and some chronic inflammations of internal organs. At present, clinical application of acupuncture combined with far infrared irradiation in the treatment of chronic cholecystitis, facial neuritis and other diseases has a definite curative effect. The heat energy of far infrared rays can reduce the excitability of sensory nerves and treat various pains such as neuralgia, spastic pain, inflammatory and ischemic pain by relieving muscle spasms, reducing swelling, reducing inflammation and improving blood circulation. Far infrared rays can improve tissue nutrition, promote the regeneration of fibroblasts and fibrocytes, promote granulation growth, collagen regeneration, enhance tissue repair and regeneration functions, and accelerate wound healing.
Promote metabolism and reduce three highs
Far infrared rays can promote circulation and accelerate metabolism, making toxic and harmful substances in the body. Far infrared dry sauna bath can reduce weight, blood pressure and blood sugar, and can improve the damaged vascular endothelial function. Therefore, far infrared rays can prevent atherosclerosis. Far infrared therapy can resist oxidative stress and prevent atherosclerosis. In addition, far infrared rays can also dissolve thrombus and make saturated fatty acids less likely to be oxidized into blood lipids (lipid peroxides). Therefore, it can reduce the deposition of lipids in blood vessels and reduce the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
Improve sleep and eliminate fatigue
Far infrared rays can not only enhance the microcirculation in the body through coherent resonance and non-thermal biological effects, but also improve the pathological phenomenon of deficiency-cold of viscera. This has a direct curative effect on improving sleep. The intervention results based on far infrared sauna conditioning obviously achieve the same effect. This method has an improving effect on people with sleep disorders, which is specifically reflected in the change of temperature difference value in the spleen and stomach area of traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, it also provides a scientific evidence for the traditional Chinese medicine theory that "if the stomach is not in harmony, one cannot sleep well". Far infrared acupoint irradiation can effectively relieve the pressure and fatigue of hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease, improve the quality of life and autonomic nerve activity, and is better than a hot pad. Far infrared irradiation can slow down the pain caused by sports injuries, reduce the excitability of nerve conduction (reduce the excitability of γ fibers in muscle spindles), weaken the stretch reflex, reduce muscle tone, increase muscle relaxation, increase the tolerance to pain, and also have a curative effect on eliminating fatigue. It is used to treat muscle spasms, strain and gastrointestinal spasms.
Improve cells and prevent aging
When far infrared rays act on cells, they produce resonance with cells, promote mitochondrial metabolism in cytoplasm and provide more energy; promote nucleic acid metabolism and play its function along the normal synthesis pathway; maintain the integrity and permeability of cell membrane and strengthen the transport function of substances and gases; improve the deformability of red blood cells so that red blood cells can reach the most peripheral and smallest microvascular network smoothly and perform metabolic functions; improve microcirculation and protect the elasticity of blood vessel wall; remove free radicals generated in metabolism and prevent cell aging; improve cell excitability, maintain ion balance and emit appropriate action potentials, so that some special cells, such as muscle cells and neuroendocrine cells, are in an excellent state. After these cell activation effects, cell functions are improved and enhanced, so that the human body is in a good state.
Inhibit tumors and improve immunity
Hyperthermia is the fifth major therapy for tumor treatment and is known as the "green therapy". Since the 1980s, using far infrared rays to raise the body temperature of tumor patients to a certain extent is beneficial to inhibiting tumor growth, improving the body's immunity and increasing the effect of chemotherapy drugs. Compared with methods such as hot water bath, hot air bath, hot wax bath, hot water blanket and electric blanket, far infrared rays have the advantages of stronger controllability of temperature, relatively smaller side effects and easier operation in treatment. Therefore, whole-body hyperthermia mainly based on far infrared rays is widely recognized and used by the medical community.
Low-temperature rewarming and disinfection and sterilization
Far infrared rays have strong penetrating power (4.0-5.0 cm) and can penetrate deep into subcutaneous fat and internal organs, expand superficial and internal microvessels, and make the skin and internal organs temperature rise in a balanced way. Based on this principle, a radiant far infrared neonatal rescue platform has been developed and used to treat sclerema neonatorum. When the natural frequency of motion of the basic particle of the irradiated object matches the far infrared rays, it can better absorb radiant energy and produce intense resonance, making the object heat up quickly. A considerable part of inorganic substances and most organic macromolecular compounds have strong absorption bands in the far infrared region and produce good thermal effects. Far infrared rays can kill bacterial propagules, spores, destroy hepatitis B surface antigen and bacterial endotoxin, and are widely used in health and epidemic prevention departments.
Regulate the body and promote health
Far infrared rays have many biological functions such as expanding microvessels, increasing tissue blood flow, enhancing metabolic repair and regulating body imbalance. The biological effect of far infrared rays on the human body is mainly cell activation, which makes cells produce a series of positive biochemical and histochemical changes, so that the human body is in a good state of health. At present, far infrared rays have been developed and utilized in some fields. In particular, the role of local far infrared therapy machines and whole-body far infrared sauna sweat steaming rooms has been valued and recognized by the medical community. The research on the molecular biology level of far infrared ray effects and its broader application space are the focus of future work.
