About FIR Heat:

If Far Infrared Radiation (FIR) heat intensity is high, we feel healthy and are able to overcome many of our health concerns. When FIR heat begins to decline we are subject to disease and illness. We tend to age more quickly and fight depression more often. We can be exposed to FIR heat for hours and it will never cause our skin to burn. It is completely safe and healthy for all living things. ALL life forms – humans, animals and plants – NEED FIR Infrared to remain healthy. 

Circulation:

FIR heat creates increased blood flow by promoting expansion of the blood vessels and capillaries. A functional circulatory system is indispensable not only for a quality life, but also to maintain health. FIR heat aids in the creation of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide can prevent and even reverse heart disease and strokes. If blood circulates well, tissues will receive energy in the form of nutrients and oxygen to help the metabolic activities they need. 

Cancer:

Cancer cells cannot exist if the blood circulation is smooth and continuous. A cancerous cell has to stop moving to proliferate. Good blood circulation in capillaries leaves no way for the cancerous cell to settle down and position itself to duplicate. If the cancerous cell keeps moving it can then be killed by your immune system. Pure FIR heat penetrates 3-5 inches into the body targeting and combating malignant cells from the inside out. It is non-toxic, safe and there are no side effects from its use. 

Weight Loss:

FIR heat improves metabolism. The body is made up to 60% water. Infrared heat causes resonance in water molecules activating and ionizing them. 

FIR heat therapy enables:

Relaxation of the mind and body, stress relief, promotes a healthy metabolism, addresses pain, swelling and inflammation, accelerates healing, and promotes enzyme production and cellular vitality. FIR heat strengthens the immune system and cardiovascular system. It aids in the destruction of cancer cells. FIR heat is also well recognized worldwide for its detoxification properties and its ability to promote elimination of toxins and metabolic byproducts. FIR may induce the killing of varied pathogenic disease causing bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. FIR promotes rebuilding of tissues thus helping with post-surgical or injury pain. It relieves nervous tension and relaxes auto neuro-muscles there by helping the body make the most of its healing abilities.

Negative Ions:

In addition to infrared heat this heating pad also provides you negative ion therapy. Negative Ions are natural energy that promote health and wellness so you feel great! Heating natural jade or tourmaline stones creates Negative Ions, beneficial invisible molecules that can enrich the air around us. These elements are found in abundance at waterfalls, mountains, beaches and after a rainstorm. Numerous scientific studies indicate that once this enriched air reaches our bloodstream, the Negative Ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that help calm and relieve stress, produce an overall feeling of wellbeing, decrease blood pressure, increase the flow of oxygen to our brain, alleviate depression, boost our daytime energy and increase our defense against infection by boosting our immune system.

Negative ions do so many fantastic things for our bodies. If you would like more information on the effects of  negative ions.  Please see one of our equipment manuals in the lounge.   

About Red Light Therapy: 10-30 minutes                                                                                                     

Red light therapy is an everyday term for the science of photobiomodulation. NASA research has proven it to be effective for a wide range of healing and rejuvenating uses including anti-aging, hair loss prevention & regrowth, skin conditions, wound care, pain relief, and much more. It is a 100% natural therapy with zero side effects. And yes, it works. NASA has done extensive research into LED Red Light Therapy and its effects on the human body for pain, bone, joint and muscle health. We are so happy to offer unlimited red-light therapy to you here at Ahhhsome Relaxation. 

What red light therapy is, depends on who you ask. There are two very different ways to look at it: first, from the viewpoint of Western traditional medicine; and second, from the viewpoint of Eastern, energy medicine.

Red Light Therapy & Western Medicine – Photobiomodulation

Western traditional medicine likes to deal with what we can measure in a lab and prove to the FDA. Once NASA came down with undeniable wound healing results from red light therapy, conventional medicine started paying attention. Over 10 years later, red light therapy has now been thoroughly researched and FDA approved for anti-aging and pain relief, with wound care applications soon to follow.

Western doctors and researchers often call red light therapy by other names such as:

·        LLLT (low level laser or low level light therapy)

·        LILT (low intensity light therapy)

·        photobiostimulation

·        biostimulation (BIOS)

·        photobiomodulation

·        photonic stimulation

·        photorejuvenation

 Red Light Therapy & Eastern Medicine

Red light therapy is also used in Eastern medicine practices which focus on the energy systems of the body, specifically meridian points and chakra zones. For example, “Colorpuncture” uses a narrow beam of red light to stimulate acupuncture points instead of needles. A brand name “Photonic Light Therapy” does the same thing for animals. Red light therapy could also be called red color therapy and used to fuel overall vitality.

While western science and eastern medicine may not often agree, the facts remain: light is energy, and our body is energy. Red and infrared light energy penetrate deep into the body, and has profound effects in the hands of both western and eastern healing professionals alike. The good news is, it will likely have the same rejuvenating, healing and balancing effects in your hands as well, at a fraction of the cost here at Ahhhsome Relaxation.

 Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Yes, yes it does.

Even though science is just beginning to learn how red light therapy works, it’s effectiveness has been known for decades and has been proven by hundreds of studies all over the world. Long before FDA approval, red light therapy has been in use by European countries, NASA, the US military, professional athletes and veterinarians.
