2INTRODUCTION
- It was known since 1950s that Far-Infrared light
has an effect on human physiology and metabolism
but not much scientific studies. - Some studies were conducted by Russian scientist
on the effects of light (non visible , such as
Infrared and ultraviolet radiations.
3INTRODUCTION
- We wish to investigate some of the claims made
with regards to the beneficial effects of
Infrared radiation on human health, especially on
the bodily functions , such as - 1. Blood pressure
- 2. Reduction of body weight
- 3. Improving blood circulation (improving the
blood viscosity and clearing the arterial intima
of fat deposits) - 4. Body defence system
- 5. Improving and maintaining Genito-urinary
system (creatinine and electrolytes blood levels) - 6. Improving the bodys control of blood sugar
and lipids - 7. Maintaining renal functions
- 8. Maintaining Liver functions
- 9. Increasing bodys defence to carcinogens and
switching of oncogenes

5FAR INFRA-RED (FIR) SAUNA EXPOSURE
- Sauna
- A bathhouse or room for taking such a steam bath
- Types
- Infrared lamps sauna
- Far Infrared sauna
- Conventional sauna
- Most saunas are made from wood

7FAR INFRA-RED (FIR)SAUNA EXPOSURE
- Far Infrared
- The very outer of the infrared spectrum
- Has the lowest energy level- produces heat
- Using direct light conversion process
- Have the ability to penetrate deep into the body
8FIR MAIN EFFECTS
- 1. Raises body temperature
- 15-30 minute sauna skin temperature rises to
40C, internal body temp 38C hyperthermia - Fever stimulate immune system (increase disease
fighting WBC, antibodies and interferon) - Activates sweat glands remove toxins, clean the
skin, lower the core temperature
9FIR MAIN EFFECTS
- 2. Increase Heart Rate
- Increase blood flow through out the body,
- Bringing vital nutrients and oxygen
10FIR MAIN EFFECTS
- 3. Detoxification process
- Detoxify fat cells and tissues
11FAR INFRA-RED (FIR) SAUNA EXPOSURE
- Penetration of FIR causes 3 main effects
- Raises body temperature-stimulate immune
system-activate sweat glands-toxin-clean
skin-lower body temperature. - Heart pumping faster-increases blood flow
- Detoxification
12FAR INFRA-RED (FIR) SAUNA EXPOSURE
13FAR INFRA-RED (FIR) SAUNA EXPOSURE
- How does an FIR Sauna work?
-
FIR sauna -Duplicate the healthy frequency to the
cells
The tissues selectively absorb the rays- Resonant
absorption
Frequency of FIR matches the frequency of the
water in the cells
Toxins from the cells will excreted through
sweat, feces, urine
Need a boost of infrared to ensure the fullest
healing response
FIR can penetrates the bodys tissues to a depth
of 1.5-3 inches
Deep heating sweating healing effects other
health benefits
14FAR INFRA-RED (FIR) SAUNA EXPOSURE
- Increased blood flow
- Boost immune system
- Activate sweat glands
- Promote healthy skin
- Eczema Psoriasis
- Detoxification
- Weight loss
- Pain management
- Meditation
- Psychological benefits
- Physiological benefits
- Injuries/ accident
- Relax muscle group
15FAR INFRA-RED (FIR) SAUNA EXPOSURE
- Objective
- To investigate some of the claims made with
regards to the beneficial effects of infrared
radiation to the human health
