Far Infrared Rays (FIR)
In the second half of the 19th century, a German scientist
named Hertz discovered a number of invisible electromagnetic rays
beyond the visible light spectrum. The electromagnetic waves in the range of 0.76 - 1.5ym are called
near-infrared rays, those in the range of 1.5 - 5.6ym are
called middle-infrared rays, and those in the range of 5.6
-1000ym are called far-infrared rays. Among the three
types,
far-infrared rays in the range of 6-14ym are known to be
most beneficial for human health. Far-infrared rays causes
electromagnetic resonance. When the FIR comes in contact
with bodies of a similar wave-length, such as the human body and
other living things, there is resonance. The resonance of the
cells of the body and the FIR rays are "vibrating" at the same
frequency. FIR Energy is easily absorbed into the cells. As a
result, living substances, such as the skin or plants, absorb the
infrared rays and produce strong heating effects.
FIR warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of
the surrounding air. To understand how infrared heat works,
picture yourself outdoors on a summer day with the sun overhead.
Your body feels warm from the sun and you become hot. Then a cloud
passes overhead, blocking out the sun. The temperature outside has
not changed, but you feel cooler in the shade. Your body was being
heated by the sun's infrared rays. Infrared rays warm the body in
the same manner as natural sunlight.
While the infrared causes you to sweat, the composition of
chemicals found in the sweat is quite different from that produced
by a steam bath, traditional sauna, or through exercise. The sweat
of people using our Vitality Patches will not only contain water,
but will also contain cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, heavy
metals (such as mercury, aluminum, and arsenic), nicotine,
sulfuric acid, ammonia, and other dangerous environmental poisons.
Normal sweat produced by other methods, including exercise, is
mostly water and sodium chloride. Sweat produced in this way is
97% water and 3% toxins but sweat produced through our Infrared
rays is 85% water and 15% toxins.
Infrared is completely safe. It is used in hospitals to warm
premature babies and is used in the health industry for various
other applications. Most of us don't spend enough time outdoors so
we don't get enough infrared in our bodies and we don't work hard
enough to sweat out our toxins.
