Science

Learn more about the science behind the Zero Gravity with Far Infrared Heat & Negative Ion Therapy. Listen to this informative recording as you enjoy your treatment.

This therapy suite incorporates 3 therapies in one.

You will need to start two therapies independently, the FIR Heat and the Zero Gravity.

Instructions for FIR Heat are first followed by instructions for Zero Gravity therapy.

About the FIR Heat Pads

Warning: This feels great! May cause you to sleep

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 of 90% 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.

Infrared Heat Pads with 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.   

A zero gravity chair’s benefits include: 

Zero gravity puts the human body into a heightened state of relaxation. It decreases the pressure on all of the joints. The zero gravity position cushions sore muscles and decreases muscle tension throughout the body. It makes you feel weightless stress free and energized. 

Because of this you can feel some specific benefits to your back, lungs and circulation. 

Back: The zero gravity position results in a neutral position of the spine where gravitational forces do not affect it. Its design supports the natural curves of the spine along with the upper and lower back. Thus the back and the neck are completely free of muscle tension and pain. Zero gravity reduces strain on your vertebra eliminating back pains. Because the body is evenly supported the spine has a chance to relax and decompress allowing valuable nutrients the opportunity to enter the normally compacted spinal cord and heal damaged tissues. 

Lungs: When an open angle is created between the torso and thighs, more space is created for the diaphragm to expand. This results in an increase in of oxygen from the air and expanded lungs and promotes deeper breathing. All of these things will allow for a better blood flow bringing more oxygen to all parts of your body.

This relaxation suite combines infrared heat, negative ion and zero gravity therapies. Heating natural jade stones with Infrared heat creates Negative Ions. 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. 

Circulation: The zero gravity position reduces the strain on the heart improving circulation and raising blood oxygen levels. In a zero gravity position, the blood flow from the heart actually changes. When a human is in an upright position, the heart is required to work against the force of gravity to pump blood to the extremities. In a reclined position, the situation is obviously reversed. Blood flows into the heart with the support of gravity as opposed to against it, essentially accommodating the hearts natural function.
