What is Far-Infrared Heat?

The human body can easily absorb far‐infrared heat because of its deep penetrating ability. Studies have shown that far infrared waves can actually penetrate up to 2-3 inches deep into muscular tissue and ligaments. When far infrared heat penetrates through the skin into muscular tissue and ligaments, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate which improves blood circulation and promotes healing and wellness.

Far Infrared Heat is the invisible part of the Sun’s spectrum, not to be confused with ultraviolet light which may damage your skin. FIR is the safest form energy that is directly transmitted onto objects because of its specific wavelength. The human body can easily absorb far-infrared heat because of its deep penetrating ability.

Natural, safe, and easy to use, non-invasive Infrared heat products by Therasage™ may be the most exciting personal home health development in over a decade. The heat products designed and manufactured by Therasage™ are at the forefront of a shift in the traditional healthcare system. Recent healthcare trends indicate increasing personal expenses while insurance coverage and benefits are decreasing. Traditional healthcare approaches health issues with costly drugs and invasive procedures. The expanding counter-trend is for the informed consumer to address health needs with safe, natural, proactive home health products and remedies. Therasage™ strives to meet this trend.

Infrared heat is found in near infrared wavelengths (which heats the surface first and the interior through conduction) and in far infrared heat (which sends deep penetrating heat to create a uniform warming effect). Far infrared heat can be found in two forms, direct and indirect. Direct far infrared provides the deep heat to warm you up without raising the temperature of the surrounding air. Indirect Far infrared heat comes to us through absorbing the excess energy transmitted from plants or animals that are in close proximity to us.

Picture before using products with heat. Yellow indicates poor blood circulation.

After using heat-enhanced products for 30 min. The orange color indicates better blood circulation.

After using heat-enhanced products for 60 min. The red color indicates improved blood circulation.

Negative Ions

Negative ions are molecules with an extra electron, discovered in 1899 by two scientists named Elster and Geitel. Negative Ions are invisible molecules that we absorb, found in abundance at waterfalls, mountains, beaches and after a rainstorm.

Numerous scientific studies indicate that once they reach our bloodstream, Negative Ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that help calm and relieve stress, alleviate depression, boost our daytime energy and increase our defense against infection by boosting our immune system.
