Millions of Americans endure the daily aches, pains and discomforts of chronic health conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscle strains and hypertension. Prescription and over the counter pain remedies can offer some temporary relief, but carry a high risk of side effects. Traditional healthcare practitioners approach these issues with costly drugs and invasive procedures. Today’s patients are looking to address their health needs with safe, proactive home health products and remedies that not only treat chronic conditions naturally and effectively but also maintain long term overall health. Infrared heat, energy from the Sun, is that alternative.
For centuries, scientists have understood that the Sun’s energy is a dynamic and integral part of all life on earth. Without sufficient exposure to this energy we cannot properly absorb certain nutrients, contributing to suppressed immune function, fatigue, depression, sleep disorders, chronic pain, “SADS” and other ailments.
Today we know, from extensive research done at NASA and other renowned institutions, that energy from the Sun’s ray’s control vital processes for human health and well being. Respected publications, including the Journal of American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine affirm that energy from the Sun serves to stimulate the endocrine system, enzyme activities, various brain functions, metabolic processes, the production of Vitamin D and accelerate human cell production. The safest, most beneficial part of the Sun’s energy, the warmth you feel when you are in the Sun, is the infrared segment of the spectrum.
More than 70 years of research has found convincing evidence that infrared energy is helpful for enhancing blood circulation, reducing pain, strengthening the cardiovascular system, easing joint stiffness reducing inflammation and revitalizing skin cells. Recent studies tested the effects of infrared rays on chronic pain – specifically patients suffering from fibromyalgia. All of the patients experienced a significant reduction in pain after the first session, and continued reduction in pain after ten sessions. Another recent study found that infrared therapy presents promising anti-inflammatory effects.
Many may remember the March 24 2009 Oprah show when Dr. Oz showcased an infrared sauna. Dr. Oz touted the infrared sauna as the best natural detox, and explained that infrared energy helps to lower blood pressure and increase circulation. While Oprah experienced the sauna Dr. Oz said, “It gets your heart to beat faster, and it burns calories.” A positive side effect to the infrared sauna is an increase in metabolism and the ability to burn calories while you relax and sweat out toxins.
All in all, a growing body of clinical evidence supports the use of infrared heat as a safe, non-invasive, pain relieving, health promoting, anti-aging therapy. The list of health, wellness and beauty enhancements through the use of infrared therapy is impressive and includes: relief from arthritis pain, relief from muscle spasms and joint stiffness, increased blood flow, anti-inflammatory benefits, weight control, controlling hypertension, improved cardiovascular and upper-respiratory health, enhanced immune function, increase collagen production, and provides many anti-aging benefits.
