Jade in Therapy: 5,000 Years of Tradition Backed by Science

Jade has been used in Asian medicine for millennia. Today science explains why — and how MIGUN uses it in modern thermal therapy.

Jade in Therapy: 5,000 Years of Tradition Backed by Science

Jade (jadeite) is a semi-precious stone valued in Asia for millennia not only for its beauty but also for its therapeutic properties. In traditional Chinese and Korean medicine, jade is used to balance energy, relieve pain and promote healing.

Why Jade Is Special

Jade possesses unique physical properties that make it ideal for therapeutic applications:

  • High thermal capacity: Jade absorbs and retains heat significantly longer than most materials
  • Even emission: Distributes heat homogeneously, without hot spots
  • Far infrared rays: When heated, jade naturally emits FIR in the optimal spectrum for the body
  • Durability: Extremely hard and resilient — maintains its properties over years

The Science Behind Jade Therapy

Modern research confirms what Asian healers have known for millennia. Heated jade:

  • Emits far infrared rays with wavelengths of 8-14 μm — exactly the range the body absorbs most effectively
  • Generates negative ions that improve cellular metabolism
  • Creates a constant and gentle thermal flow, ideal for therapeutic application

Jade in MIGUN re:borne

In the MIGUN re:borne therapeutic bed, jade plays a central role. Precisely crafted jade rollers move along the spine, combining three functions simultaneously:

1. Thermal Emitter

The rollers are heated to optimal temperature and emit FIR directly to the spine and surrounding muscles. The heat penetrates deep into tissues.

2. Acupressure Massager

The roller movement stimulates acupressure points along the body's meridians — a practice known in Korean medicine as "chuna" (추나, spinal massage).

3. Spinal Traction

The controlled movement and pressure of the rollers creates gentle traction (stretching) of the spine, relieving pressure on discs.

Jade vs. Synthetic Alternatives

Many massage devices use ceramic or plastic elements instead of natural jade. The difference is substantial:

  • Natural jade emits FIR with a broader and more beneficial spectrum
  • Retains heat 3-4 times longer
  • Generates negative ions naturally
  • Contains no chemicals or allergens

MIGUN uses 100% natural jade, carefully selected and processed to ensure maximum therapeutic effect.
