Infrared Light Therapy What is it? The healing power of infrared waves was discovered about two decades ago in China by a team of researches and doctors. Since the discovery, infrared waves have been happily and healthily used by tens of millions of people. The waves work by vibrating at the same rate of the body. Just as a body needs a healthy intake of food and water, it needs a healthy intake of infrared waves. This can be done very inefficiently through sunlight or very efficiently and beneficially through the use of infrared therapy. How does it work? The emitted Infrared Light energy penetrates up to 3½ inches (8.75cm), and releases nitric-oxide into the haemoglobin, stimulating micro-circulation, delivering higher levels of oxygen and nutrients to the injured cells, while eliminating toxins and cellular waste. This begins the healing process as pain is relieved. How this therapy can help you? The benefits of targeting different areas of your body with this therapy are numerous. If you are looking to end the problems you are having with a stiff neck or back, remove your cellulite, detoxify your body or more, then an infrared lamp is exactly what you need. Treatment for Cellulite This therapy is an all-natural solution to reduce cellulite (Cellulite is essentially pockets of water, toxins and fat being held under the skin. If you target these pockets with infrared waves, the waves will heat your body under the pockets and actually force the water out through your pores and eliminated the pockets and therefore the cellulite.) Infrared Therapy for Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are both painful conditions that involve extreme swelling of the joints. The swelling of the joints occurs when the fluid filled sacks located between the bones and the joints become compromised, causing the bones to rub against each other. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for arthritis, but there are many alternative therapies that help arthritis sufferers deal with their pain. Infrared light therapy is one of those therapies that are widely used by hospitals, clinics, and doctors for many years. Infrared light is a special light that is felt as heat when it touches the skin. The light helps with arthritic pain by penetrating deep into the blood vessels and tissues and gently heating the joints. As the blood vessels are heated, they dilate to allow for more blood flow to the affected areas. There are more benefits to infrared light therapy as well. The infrared light also increases oxygen levels, which stimulate white blood cells and collagen production. This is important as collagen is a necessary substance for repairing damaged joints. Infrared light therapy increases blood flow to the joints without raising your blood pressure or increasing your heart rate. Other benefits of Infrared Light Therapy This infrared therapy also help to relieve stiff backs and necks, reduces swelling, and promotes a healthy immune system and can help to detoxify your body. Infrared light therapy targets specific parts of the body with the wonderful healing powers of infrared waves. Infrared light therapy is an effective, tested treatment for any condition characterized by pain and inflammation.
