Far Infrared Heat Therapy

Far Infrared Therapy

Far Infrared Therapy creates a special type of heat that penetrates deeper into the body providing temporary pain relief for arthritis, joints, muscles, minor strains, sprains, relaxing muscles, and increasing blood flow and circulation. While a regular heater warms the surrounding air heating your skin, far infrared heat is completely different, providing a deep penetrating thermal effect into your body. This makes far infrared heat unique as it’s able to provide a much more deep penetrating heat for the ideal sauna experience providing heat to those deeper tissues.

Far Infrared Heat Therapy is actually found on the electromagnetic/light spectrum. It heats your tissue directly and its wavelengths can reach deep inside you. This is extremely beneficial as when our blood vessels receive far infrared heat they expand, increasing blood flow and increasing circulation improving bodily functions of the surrounding tissues which is why it can relax your muscles helping reduce pain and other ailments.

Far Infrared Mat Benefits

Healthy Wave infrared mats are made of various semi-precious stones including amethyst, jade, and tourmaline. While these stones have their own intrinsic benefits, they also create far infrared rays when heated. This is how our far infrared mats work by heating these stones to create far infrared therapy.

Infrared mats can be one of the most effective ways at delivering far infrared therapy to your body. With far infrared mats, you are lying directly on the source of the far infrared heat. Unlike infrared saunas and other infrared heaters which work at a distance away, reducing the amount of far infrared therapy you may receive. Infrared mats send the far infrared therapy directly into your body. This allows the far infrared heat to immediately penetrate your body helping provide the deepest penetration for the most benefits.

You can use a full body infrared mat to deliver the far infrared therapy throughout your whole body by either lying on your back or stomach. Alternatively many prefer using a far infrared heating pad which can directly be applied to any part of the body. Our far infrared heating pads are soft and flexible allowing them to form around your body, we additionally have specialty far infrared heating pads for all parts of your body including; pillows, belts, vests, knee wraps, arm wraps and more!

Far Infrared Therapy Research Studies

Far infrared therapy is a thoroughly researched topic for a variety of ailments. Below are samples of a few studies showing the research that has been performed on far infrared therapy.

Healthy Wave mats provide far infrared heat therapy which is much more beneficial than regular heaters and heating method.

The following are the differences between regular heat therapy and far Infrared heat therapy.

Regular Heaters or Heating Pads

Heats up carbon fiber or metal wiring which heats the surrounding air
Heated air can feel very hot but only heats the outside of the body.
The heat does not penetrate the body but heats the skin the most with lesser heat penetrating deep into the tissue.
High temperatures, if used improperly, can cause heat exhaustion and other negative effects.
Not efficient as the heat generated will rise and gather near the ceiling
Overall more heat is required, which is less efficient & potentially dangerous, and is unable to effectively heat the deeper tissue in the body
do not have shielding from dirty electricity

Far Infrared Heating in Healthy Wave Mats

Uses non-woven fabric wiring to directly heat gemstones (jade, amethyst & tourmaline).
When heated the gemstones (jade, amethyst & tourmaline) generate far-infrared heat.
The FIR from the Amethyst and Tourmaline crystals in the Healthy Wave mat penetrates deeper (several centimeters) into the body tissues due to the thermal effect of internal water molecules and body tissue.
Due to the deeper and more even thermal effect FIR reaches muscle and other tissues assisting in recovery and comfort.
Requires a lower overall heat to provide the heat needed for the muscles & other tissue.
Using a lower heat is safer as it can prevent heat exhaustion and burns. It can also be used for longer periods of time safely.
Using a lower heat is also more efficient as it uses less energy while providing more heat to the tissue you are trying to heat rather than the surrounding air or skin.
Healthy Wave mats heat up to a max of 70 degrees Celsius and take as little as 5 minutes to heat up!
Have Ultra Low EMF shielding for dirty electricity and electrical wiring. Meets and exceeds the strict Swedish Standard of 3 mG

Benefits of Far Infrared Heat

Overall far infrared heat is one of the most beneficial therapies as many studies have found. There is extensive clinical research showing its benefits and more.

Healthy Wave Mats are one of the most effective delivery system for far infrared heat. Other common products that generate far infrared heat such as saunas and external heaters need to generate higher temperatures as the far infrared heat sources are further away from the body. This creates a similar problem as regular heaters as higher heat levels are required to provide the same level of far infrared heat to penetrate the tissue effectively. Healthy Wave Mats are designed to be used directly against the skin or over your clothing which allows the far infrared heat to penetrate the deeper at a lower temperature. This allows the user to receive the benefits of far infrared heat therapy for a longer period of time, locate it against any area of the body and be in a more comfortable environment during the process.

Benefits of Far Infrared Heat from Healthy Wave Mats

Multiple designs make it easy to target any area on the body easily.
A lower overall heat is required allowing the user to use them longer.
Larger mats allow the user to cover a larger portion of the body providing far infrared heat to more locations on the body.
By lying on one mat and placing reflective foil blanket or another small mat on top the user can create a sauna effect delivering far infrared heat to the entire body.
