Okay, let’s try to explain this without getting really technical. For those of you who want lots of facts and figures, they’re out there on this technology. I want to try to make you understand what far infrared therapy is, but more than that, I want you to see the benefits. I go into my domes as many times a day as possible. I love the feel of it. I curl up in there like a big, ol, pussycat in the sunlit window. We get the same effect as the kitty does, except our equipment penetrates deeper.
Everything in creation is made up of electromagnetic energy vibrating at different frequencies that correspond to sound, light and color. The existence of electromagnetic fields around every object in the world is a scientifically proven fact. The Chinese refer to this energy as ‘Chi’ (pronounced Chee), the vital life force energy of the Universe, which flows through the pathways of all living things.
Western medical science is now beginning to take a serious look at ancient Far Eastern traditions that focus on this energy in order to maintain health and wellness, mentally, physically and emotionally.
Far-infrared rays are part of the sunlight spectrum which is invisible to the naked eye. It’s also known as Biogenetic rays (between 6 to 14 microns). Biogenetics rays have been proven by scientists to promote the growth and health of living cells especially in plants, animals and human beings.
Far Infrared Rays are a specific wave length of light from the sun that are the safest and most beneficial rays. Far Infrared Rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum just below red light rays. Far Infrared Rays are not visible to the human eye but can be seen with special cameras.
Far Infrared Rays are perceived as a gentle, comfortable type of radiant heat. Radiant heat is a simple form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion without heating the air in between.
Some research by NASA indicates that within the broad infrared spectrum, the rays in the 8-14 Micron range are the FIR rays from the sun that safely reach the earth’s service. The most effective in penetrating the human body and the most beneficial to the human body are in the 8-10 Micron Range. Due to this comfort and FIR’s ability to penetrate deep into our body and elevate the body’s surface temperature, it locally increases circulation and reduces pain, which allows you to feel better.
When we feel hot, we seek shade. When we feel cold , we seek sunshine to warm us. We all desire a comfortable temperature. This comfortable temperature that we seek is synchronized with a comfortable energy frequency or ‘wavelength’. Human bodies are a natural thermal source. According to physicists, any thermal therapy source can radiate FIR. The human body radiates FIR at a wavelength which happens to be 8-14 microns.
The human body’s normal temperature is 98.6 degrees, with most of our body heat being radiated away from our bodies at an 8-10 micron wave-length. The heat that is leaving our bodies is far infrared heat. We are constantly losing body heat and then reproducing it. If you don’t believe me, think about this, Why does a room full of people get hot? The heat exiting our bodies, which is being emitted into the room, is far infrared heat.
Some of us have lower body temperatures. Most people think that this isn’t a big deal, that this doesn’t affect our bodily functions, except that we may get colder a little faster than most people. But, Dr. Samuel Wilson, figured out that folks who have lower body temperatures, have systems that do not function as well as people who have normal body temperatures. Therefore everything from your weight and energy to your thyroid and liver functions are involved. We need to raise our body temperatures for our body to work properly. Talking from experience, medicines usually do not accomplish this. What medicines do accomplish, is to toxify your system.
When living things absorb FIR at 8-14 micron wavelength, it causes a vibrating movement of molecules in living tissue, which produces an increase in heat energy, which then activates cells and enhances the metabolism. Many organic molecules have the same vibration frequency as FIR.
Currently, there are a wide variety of medical applications beginning to use thermal therapy and / or the Far Infrared (FIR) technology because of its outstanding properties and its ability to actually increase the body tissue’s regenerative ability. Thus, it is possible to revitalize human cells by warming them from the inside. Far Infrared Rays also have the ability to penetrate and elevate the temperature of the subcutaneous layers of our bodies. FIR penetrates our bodies 4-5 centimeters into the dermis (middle layer of skin) and will increase the subcutaneous temperature to approximately 107 degrees Fahrenheit! These principles enable the expansion of blood capillaries. The stimulation of blood circulation, an increase in your metabolism between blood and tissue promotes tissue regeneration and reduces cramping. It also penetrates from the muscles into the blood vessels, lymphatic glands, and nerves. It also adjusts the autonomic nerve function and reduces the over stimulation of sensory nerves. Because of all these benefits, it is the perfect health builder in maintaining one’s general health.

I felt very comfortable and learned about how food and toxins effect my body. I was very pleased to have this experience.
For about three days every month I suffer from Severe PMS. The cramping and all over body aches are almost unbearable and interfere with my daily life. I have tried every over the counter medicine and even some prescription drugs and nothing seems to help. Then I tried the far infrared belt and my prayers were answered! My pain seemed to just melt away and I was able to actually keep up with my normal activities. But the best part was the relief that I got lasted! Now when I feel that time comi…
My fat wrap was a very nice experience. I’ll be interested in the nutritional cleanse in the near future.
Hi There! Jo from Rita Ranch. I’m going on vacation from 10/3-10/9. I would like to do the bundle deal of ionic footbaths when I get back. After 1 session, 3 raised dark blue varicose veins on my legs look like spider veins! My toenails haven’t looked this good for yrs! The bottoms of my feet aren’t dry as a bone and cracked! I was so incredibly tired that I was almost comatose. My butt is incredibly less cottage cheesy looking! The skin on my thighs is smoother and the back of my thig…
After falling down a flight of concrete stairs, I was pretty sure I would be in bad shape for quite awhile. Luckily for me, I work for Dr. Shaw and he began adjustments immediately. It was suggested that I try two new services that are being offered at Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, namely the Infrared Dome and the Chi Machine.Since I had never experienced either of these machines, I didn’t know what to expect. After a short amount of time (10 mins.) I felt a warming sensation from the inside of …
After my husband and I spent our anniversary with Debbie for a Spa Day, we almost needed to call someone to drive us home we were so relaxed! See you next year!
Wow!! What could I possibly say? I never knew or saw a foot bath machine that could show and teach you so much about what a person has in their body and show all of the toxins that are in there. I would love to do more of this cleansing stuff again sometime!
I came into Alternatives in Health Care seeking an all natural way to look younger, and Debbie has helped me achieve that! After my first derma rolling session, I noticed an all over tightening of my skin. By my third session, a nodule that I’ve had on my jaw line for a long time has decreased dramatically in size. I’m happy that I found Alternatives in Health Care. Debbie is friendly and professional; the atmosphere at her place is relaxing and soothing. I’ll be referring my frien…
I have been very excited about my reaction to the series of foot baths that I have received from your office. I bought the treatments because I am always on my feet and they ache terribly by the end of the night. The baths soothed my feet while removing toxins from my system. The color of the water after my treatments changed dramatically as I progressed through the series. One of the things that was of interest to me was that my water changed to the color that indicates kidney issues. I later…
