What are Far Infrared Rays?

The Wolfe Clinic - Frequently Asked Questions
Far Infrared Rays have nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb.) Far Infrared Radiation is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Our sun is the principal source of radiant energy that we enjoy daily (some more so than others).

What is Far Infrared Therapy?

The Wolfe Clinic - Frequently Asked Questions
Therapy, in medical term, means the act of remediation of a health problem, after the diagnosis. Far Infrared Therapy is a type of low energy therapy using light in the far infrared spectrum for the treatment of a health problem. Far Infrared Therapy is also sometimes abbreviated to FIR Therapy or Infrared Therapy for short. The light we see every day is actually a combination of many different types. All light is electro-magnetic waves. The wavelength of light determines its properties.

Is Far Infrared Radiation Dangerous?

No, while it's true the sun's rays should be used judiciously, especially by fair-skinned people, the fact remains that infrared radiation is safe and promotes vital health. It is the harmful ultraviolet light that Sunscreen lotions block. There are many harmful rays given off by the sun but Far Infrared Rays are not among them. The energy is absolutely essential and beneficial for human beings and all living things in the world.

What is the history of Far Infrared Therapy?

The Wolfe Clinic - Frequently Asked Questions
Hyperthermia, from the Greek words "hyper", meaning high, and "thermos", meaning temperature, can simply be defined as the elevation of the body temperature. In humans a fever is a physiological thermic resource. Hyperthermia represents a natural immune approach in combating disease since it involves inducing an exaggerated version of the body's own fever state. Most illnesses are accompanied by a fever.

What is far-infrared radiant heat?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion (DLC). DLC warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air. All life requires FIR heat from the sun. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5.6 to 15 micron level. This type of energy travels only 2-3" deep into the body to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue.

Q: Are there natural forms of Far Infrared Heat?

The Wolfe Clinic - Frequently Asked Questions
Of course, the Sun is our primary source of Infrared heat. Have you ever been outside on a partly cloudy spring day of about 50 degrees F. and felt quite comfortable until the sun was suddenly obscured by a cloud? Although the air temperature had not had time to drop, you felt chilled, as the cloud would not let the warming infrared rays through to reach you. Infrared light is an important energy force that promotes healing - a rising of the white blood cell count.

What is FIR (far infrared rays)?

Far Infrared Sports Therapy Healing Products. Questions abou...
Far Infrared Rays (FIR) are energy rays from the Sun. FIR rays are part of the part Electromagnetic Spectrum with a wavelength longer than visible light, but shorter than microwave radiation. The name Far Infrared means "below red" (from the Latin infra, "below"), red being the color of visible light of longest wavelength. Far Infrared electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelengths in the infrared region, between approximately 50 and 1,000 micrometers.

Is this far infrared safe?

Healthwave Saunas - Frequently Asked Questions - Health impr...
Yes! Physiotherapists have been using this technology for years. Have you ever gone to a physiotherapist with a sprain and they put that 'heat lamp' on it - well that's infrared. Far infrared is from the safest end of the spectrum. It's also something we generate ourselves in our own bodies. When you put your hands together and the palms heat up - that's infrared. When starting out, remain inside no longer than 30 minutes at a time. Those in good health may extend this to 50 minutes, in time.

What are Far Infrared emissions?

Detoxi-Pad : Natural Toxin-Adsorbing Pads (Home)
Far infrared is a form of safe radiated energy given off by the ingredients of Detoxi-Pad. As the far infrared energy penetrates, it warms the tissues and increases the blood supply within the affected area promoting healing and cell regeneration. It also stimulates the breakdown of water & waste molecules which are extracted from the body through a kind of transdermal osmosis.

How far will the Infrared lights shine?

Hidden Camera Surveillance Australia - Hidden Cameras, CCTV ...
Six IR lights will reach about 2m and twelve IR lights will go to 3 to 4m. The cameras are "light sensative" and do not rely solely on the IR lights. When an object is very close to the camera, that object is blocking any ambient light. This is where the IR lights come into play. For rare situtions where a camera is installed in a location where there are no tail lights, head lights or street lights, an independant Infrared flood lamp may be used.

What does FAR infrared mean?

Loose Cellulite Now! Anti-Cellulite Shorts by Invel ::..
FAR Infrared is a light wave in the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength of 3 to 15 microns. It is a light invisible to our eyes, and can only be perceived by the sensation of heat that it produces. This term refers to the infrared emitted by Bioceramics. It can be measured using an emission radiometer capable of detecting waves greater than 3 micrometers.
