What Is Far Infrared Therapy and How It Helps the Body

Far infrared (FIR) therapy is a scientifically proven method for deep tissue warming. Learn how it works and what the health benefits are.

What Is Far Infrared Therapy and How It Helps the Body

Far infrared (FIR) therapy is a form of light therapy that uses invisible rays from the electromagnetic spectrum to heat the body from the inside out. Unlike conventional heating, FIR rays penetrate up to 15 cm beneath the skin, reaching muscles, joints and internal organs.

How FIR Therapy Works

Far infrared rays have a wavelength between 5.6 and 1000 micrometers. When the body absorbs these rays, water molecules in cells begin to vibrate. This creates a thermal effect that:

  • Dilates blood vessels and improves circulation
  • Accelerates delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues
  • Stimulates toxin elimination through sweat
  • Reduces inflammatory processes

Scientific Evidence

Numerous clinical studies confirm the effectiveness of FIR therapy. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology shows significant improvement in endothelial function and circulation in patients undergoing regular FIR therapy.

Another study in the International Journal of Hyperthermia found that FIR therapy reduces cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and improves sleep quality.

Health Benefits

Pain Relief

FIR therapy is particularly effective for chronic back pain, arthritis and fibromyalgia. Deep warming relieves muscle spasms and reduces joint stiffness.

Improved Circulation

Regular FIR therapy can improve peripheral circulation by up to 30%, which is especially important for people with diabetes or peripheral vascular disease.

Detoxification

Sweat induced by FIR contains up to 7 times more toxins compared to regular sweat. This includes heavy metals, chemicals and other harmful substances.

Stress Reduction

Thermal therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to reduced stress, lower blood pressure and improved overall well-being.

FIR Therapy in MIGUN re:borne

The MIGUN re:borne therapeutic bed integrates FIR technology with jade massage rollers, pressotherapy and spinal decompression. This combination of four technologies in one device provides comprehensive therapeutic effect that exceeds the impact of each individual technology.

In the MIGUN re:borne, jade rollers serve simultaneously as an FIR source and mechanical massager, enabling precise heat targeting to specific zones along the spine.
