A Foreboding Name?

Far infrared sounds a bit scary, like something that might give us cancer, but it is actually just another name for radiant heat. Radiant heat is formed when a certain frequency of the sun’s spectrum heats things up by striking their surface with its rays.

To See Deeper

It was first discovered by a famous astronomer named Herschel in 1800. The discovery of infrared light has helped scientists to see farther into the universe because dust, which blocks visible light, allows heat to be “seen” when you are observing with it. And half the energy in the universe is infrared.

Besides important advances in space discovery, in recent years, many good uses for far infrared have cropped up: Far infrared wave ovens, far infrared paint and wallpaper that kills mold, far infrared water filter technology, among many other things.

Into Things We Already Knew

But the greatest consequence of Herschel’s discovery probably comes as no surprise. We have known for thousands of years that the warmth of the sun heals us. Since you were a baby you have felt its therapeutic touch.

Provocative Findings

And, sure enough, extensive research has found our intuition accurate. Far infrared therapy is cleansing, curative, relaxing, beautifying, and the easiest way known to take your weight off.

But How Does It Work?

There is really no magic when it comes to the modus operandi of far infrared rays. These heat waves simply penetrate deeper into the body and that makes all the difference. They cleanse deeper, stimulate deeper, and resonate deeper with cellular frequencies. All of this action helps bring nutrients and oxygen into our cells and stimulate the elimination of toxins.

The Far Infrared Sauna: Sciences Most Practical Application

Probably the most useful application of far infrared rays for health is the far infrared sauna. In these saunas a concentration of far infrared rays are used to benefit the body. Among other things, it can dramatically increase cleansing and fitness levels. And one doesn’t have to travel to the closest health spa that operates one. They can be purchased inexpensively and used right at home.

Who Would Have Thought?

The sun has been heating up the patio in the back yard for years. And we never dreamed, until recently, that the rays responsible could result in so much good. Far infrared therapy is one of the natural doctors whose time has come.

Publisher’s note: Far Infrared rays are not the same thing as ultraviolet rays (UV). That is why it is so important to use a far infrared device instead of just sitting in the sun where you can get exposed to UV rays. —- Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=F_Brent_King —- http://EzineArticles.com/?Far-Infrared-Therapy—Focusing-An-Ancient-Power&id=4980064
