What is far-infrared

Far Infrared rays are responsible for the heat produced by the Dome.

Far Infrared (FIR) rays are an invisible spectrum of sunlight discovered by a scientist named Sir William Herschel in 1800. His research led to the discovery that there were not only the known visible rays - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet plus the invisible rays, Gamma and Ultraviolet but also a previously unknown ray later named Infrared. FIR rays are present in the spectrum between visible light and microwaves. This invisible band of light is felt as heat.

Approximately 80% of solar energy is made up of FIR and 60% is between the range of 10-20 microns. The human body generates FIR between 8-14 microns.

When our bodies are heated by FIR rays the activity level of our atoms are increased and heat can be generated. Albert Szent-Gyorgi, Nobel Prize Winner and the discoverer of vitamin C, believed that all energy from the sun has profound effects on us. His research showed that light can literally alter the body’s basic biological functions.

How Far Infrared works

Far Infrared Thermal Therapy stimulates cellular metabolism which increases the body’s regenerative ability and helps restore the proper function of the nervous system. Far Infrared energy is absorbed very easily by the human body and helps in all aspects of bodily growth and development. The body has its own mechanism for producing FIR which stimulates healing and cellular repair. When the body is exposed to Far Infrared rays our healing processes are stimulated and our body’s own repair responses are activated restoring function and detoxifying. Far Infrared Thermal treatment detoxifies the body of heavy metals, pesticides and other toxins. Due to today’s high levels of stress and toxicity the body’s natural ability to heal, is often compromised. Some of us have reached critical stress and/or toxic levels and we do not have the energy to detoxify or repair our bodies. The internal production of Far Infrared energy that normally occurs within our tissues and is associated with a variety of healing responses will respond to the boost given by Far Infrared Rays. The Far Infrared Rays will be selectively absorbed by those tissues needing a boost in their output. So for healing and detoxification to occur successfully we often require a boost of Far Infrared energy to maximise healing responses.Thermal energy will rise, tissues will become more active and the pace of metabolism will increase. It is almost like re-charging the body’s battery.

The intensity of Far Infrared energy produced by the human body constantly fluctuates. When its intensity is high, we feel healthy and are able to overcome ailments.When the Far Infrared energy levels begin to decline, we are subject to attacks of illness and tend to age more quickly.

Far Infrared Rays help to rid the body of chemicals and pollutants, rejuvenates the cells, tissues and organs of the body thus facilitating a return to health.

Health and medical professionals in Japan (and more recently in Canada) have been using far infrared thermal systems to rehabilitate and treat a multitude of ailments for the last 14 years.
