Infrared light accounts for half the sun’s energy and is essential for human life. It provides the pleasant, comforting radiant heat you feel when you walk outdoors to enjoy the sun. Discovered by NASA to be the safest, most beneficial natural light wave, infrared is used in hospital nurseries to warm newborns. It penetrates the body six to eight centimeters and positively affects all body systems.
Infrared light causes a cell’s mitochondria (powerhouses) to vibrate at higher frequencies and more efficiently produce ATP, which provides energy and has an active role in enzyme processes and detoxification. Infrared helps the body detoxify by causing toxin-containing water molecules to vibrate at a higher frequency, thereby reducing and breaking the bonds of the molecules. As the water molecules break down, cellular toxins, such as mercury, aluminum, sulfur, formaldehyde, alcohol and nicotine, are released and carried out via the body’s natural elimination channels.
In addition to enhancing detoxification at the cellular level, infrared stimulates the circulatory system and increases blood flow, dilates blood vessels, elevates core temperature and increases metabolism. An hour of infrared therapy burns up to 900 calories, making it an excellent addition to any weight-loss program.
Infrared stimulates the lymphatic system, improving immunity and reducing inflammation. Athletes routinely use infrared therapies after training to alleviate muscle and joint pain, and it has been shown to reduce the pain and joint stiffness associated with osteoarthritis.
Infrared therapies have also been shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels; heal skin wounds, acne and eczema; provide stress and anxiety reduction; promote profound relaxation; reduce cellulite; and destroy cancer and viral cells without harming surrounding healthy cells.
