WHAT IS THE FAR INFRARED RAYS (FIR)

Far Infrared rays (FIR) is just like the heat from our sun or that which our own bodies produce as they burn fuel to keep us warm. We live in an environment of FIR waves and our body receives and radiates them. Among the energy spectrum coming from the sun, the FIR waves are the safest and the most beneficial electromagnetic energy sources available; especially it is when the resonant frequency id from 6 to 15 microns. In fact, panels that produce similar infrared rays are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies.  Even NASA has used infrared heat to keep their astronauts warm.  So no need to worry.  Infrared energy has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation.

BIO-EFFECT OF FAR INFRARED RAY TO HUMAN BODY

The human body contains more than 70% water (H2O) by weight and a lot of proteins. Since vibrating wave band length of molecular movement of organic matter is identified to band of wavelength of FIR, molecular movement of organic matter is therefore activated.

FIR waves cause resonance with water molecules. It ionize and activates water molecules in our cells and blood thus improving our blood circulation. Based on these effects, FIR waves will be able to dilate capillary vessels, and ultimately increase blood circulation and active metabolism in tissues and cells. It also promote elimination of waste matters and harmful heavy metals out of human body.

FIR was first discovered through spectroscopes by German scientist in 1800. Since then, many researchers from Italy, United States of America and Germany have found that it helps to promote health profoundly. Since 1980's researchers and experts from United State of America, Japan, Korea and China have started to accumulate scientific proofs on the contributions of FIR waves to human health.

FIR waves is popular in Japan and Korea and recently numerous research papers on clinical experimentation and application of FIR waves are published. In depth research by the Japanese expert has shown that FIR waves is similar to the average "qi" (8 micron) wavelength emitted during "qi gong" therapy which has been practiced by ancient Chinese since 3000 years ago.

Negative Ions (anions)

Anions are created in nature with air molecules broken apart from sunlight, far infrared rays and moving air or water.

Anions are odorless tasteless molecules that are breathed into our respiratory system. High concentrations of anions can be found in nature in mountain forests, waterfalls, and beaches where people feel energized and invigorated, which helps relieve stress, alleviate depression, boost energy.

Remarkable as it may seem, a room charged with negative ions was shown to stem bacteria growth and precipitate many airborne contaminants including pollen, dust and dust mites, viruses, second-hand cigarette smoke, animal dander, odors and toxic chemical fumes.

It is well known that consuming more alkaline foods, i.e. fruits and vegetables, is beneficial to human health. An acidic PH balance of the body, on the other hand, makes the body weak and susceptible to sickness. Acidification of the blood, which is caused by the loss of electrons, can be prevented by Negative Ions which contains an abundant amount of electrons improving the body's immunity and resistance to illnesses. This is the reason Negative Ions products are becoming more and more popular nowadays.

For over half a century, experts have studied the relationship between anions and health. And they have all agreed that in this day and age, our health is greatly influenced by the quantity and quality of ions, which saturate our environment. A.D. Moore (a professor at Michigan University), a world renown authority in the ongoing study of ions, wrote that the control of anion quantity in the air can induce good effects on the human body, and that the intake of anion-saturated air can be helpful in curing patients. Thus, it has become common knowledge among scientists today that the anion is an integral factor in health improvement and sustenance, and the best source for anions is Far-IR. Among the many ions that constantly float in the surrounding air, the very light anions is one of the most active. This activity of anions (bio-energy) is the core of better and more healthy living. They increase metabolism, which is the process of acquiring nutrients from the blood and excreting waste out of the body, is extremely important to the human cells. The more anions there are in the blood, the more efficient the cell's metabolism process.

Anions are as necessary as water and air to humans, animals and soil.

Conclusion

FIR and anions,  although we can not see them are not only beneficial, but are also necessary for all living things. America, Japan and some European countries realized this long ago. Some examples are Far-Infrared Saunas, Far-Infrared Treatment Lamps, Far-Infrared clothing, anion air purifyers, household goods and etc.
