Infrared Treatment

The Far Infrared Dome used for infrared treatment radiates a gentle, invisible, healing frequency that deeply penetrates and slightly elevates body temperature. The resulting stimulation is in harmony with the body’s own heat generation and internal processes, providing benefits that have been found to be helpful for many health conditions and overall wellbeing.

The Far Infrared Dome is excellent for:

1. Helps remove harmful substances not effectively removed by normal saunas. 

2. Pain management. Decreases the body’s harmful inflammation response, relieves back, shoulder, neck, and muscle pain.

3. Brings back a sense of feeling to areas going numb.

4. Skin rejuvenation. Helps slow down aging, reduces acne, and heals chapping, removes overgrown scar tissue, stimulates tissue growth where needed, removes excess pigment, and restores it where needed.

5. Activates healing components within the immune system and beneficial for treating:

• • Viruses, colds, bronchitis, sinusitis
  • Chronic diseases
  • Injuries, surgeries, sprains, and strains
  • Gastric and duodenal ulcers
  • Rheumatism and arthritis
  • Gout – helps reduce uric acid concentration.
  • Earaches
  • Stomach aches
  • High blood pressure – reduces blood pressure and improves circulation.
  • Asthma
  • Insomnia

What happens when the Far Infrared Dome is used?

1. Elevates the temperature of subcutaneous layers, thus expanding blood capillaries, stimulating blood circulation, increasing metabolism between blood and tissue, promoting tissue regeneration, and reducing cramping.

2. Penetrates 4-5 centimeters into the dermis (middle layer of skin) within an hour to affect muscle tissue, blood vessels, lymphatic glands, and nerves.

3. Impacts every living cell and produces warmth. Through this cell tissue “micro friction” and the vibration of molecules, chemicals within cells are activated.

4. Promotes elimination of the waste products generated by aging, heavy metals, and toxic substances secreted by the sweat and dermis-layer fat glands.

5. Promotes the killing of many pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

6. Promotes the formation of enzymes, increasing levels of nitric oxide synthase for improved heart function and the repair and protection of organ cells.

7. Adjusts autonomic nerve function and reduces the over-stimulation of sensory nerves.
