During the past quarter century, Japanese and Chinese researchers have completed extensive research on far-infrared medical treatments and have reported numerous beneficial discoveries. Stress Reduction Stress is one of the biggest factors in determining overall health and well being. The most immediate health benefit of far infrared heat therapy is stress reduction through simple relaxation, as it melts away the problems and tensions of daily life. Far-infrared heat therapy causes your muscles to relax, and causes an increase circulation and blood flow. Within minutes you will start to feel rejuvenated and renewed. Detoxification Everyday people are exposed to thousands of chemicals in the air, water, food, cleaning products, plastics, artificial additives, artificial preservatives, and many other items used in daily life. These toxins are absorbed through breathing, eating, or through the skin and are either metabolized or stored in the body. The body eliminates most toxins naturally through sweating. Far-infrared heat therapy significantly heats up the body causing profuse sweating which will speed up the body's natural detoxification process. Pain Management Muscles relax greatly in regards to how warm the tissue is. Deep heat from Migun's healthy mat and/or the thermal massage bed penetrates as deep as 1.5" into skin, joints, and muscles. This deep heat helps blood vessels dilate bringing relief to sore muscles and soft tissue injuries. Improved blood circulation feeds the muscles with oxygen rich blood that speeds up the natural healing process. In many European countries, far-infrared therapy is widely used to treat patients with various forms of arthritis. In Japan, far-infrared therapy has been found to be effective in providing pain relief to those suffering from back pain, sprains, strains, bursitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, headache, and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Weight Loss As the body heats up, there is a substantial increase in the heart rate and metabolic rate to cool itself. An increase in the heart and metabolic rate results in burned calories. Migun's far-infrared technology causes the core body temperature to rise which results in passive cardiovascular conditioning. To demonstrate this all that you need to do is wear a heart rate monitor during a session on the bed or healthy mat and you will be surprised by the results! Your heart rate can increase by 50-75% during one 30 minute session. Although results vary among different individuals it has been reported that a single 30 minute session can burn up to 300 calories (kcal) which would be the equivalent of a brisk walk. |
