What is the far infrared heat?

Infrared radiation is part of the sunrays. Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation. Electro-magnetic radiation is a combination of electric and magnetic field oscillations, which propagate in space with the speed of light and supplying energy from one place to another.


IR is also gaining popularity as a safe method of natural health & physical therapy.

Diagram of infrared rays. Infrared heat rays helps for example for asthma, arthritis, back pain, migraine, menstrual pain, skin problems, allergies and blood circulation.
Nuga Best emit infrared rays in the so called C area which is from 3 to 1000 in the scale showen (3000 nm to 1 mm). Rays from this area increase cell movement.

Spectrum and lightwaves

Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet. "Near infrared" light is closest in wavelength to visible light and "far infrared" is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic.

Far infrared waves are thermal. In other words, we experience this type of infrared radiation every day in the form of heat! The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire, a radiator or a warm sidewalk is infrared. The temperature-sensitive nerve endings in our skin can detect the difference between inside body temperature and outside skin temperature.

Shorter, near infrared waves are not hot at all - in fact you cannot even feel them. These shorter wavelengths are the ones used by your TV's remote control.

 

What effect has a long infrared rays (FIR)?

IR radiation is easily absorbed into the body.
IR rays are a form of waves of molecules that resemble the body's cells, thus increasing the vibrations in the cells under the effect of IR radiation.
The characteristic of IR is that they start vibrations and hence the heat coming from inside the cells.
Hereby increased metabolism in the cells and the bloodstream.



Infrared heat rays have a positive effect on for example asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, migraine, menstrual pain, skin problems, allergies and blood circulation. Far Infrared Rays - Health benefits of Far Infrared Rays (FIR).
Nuga Best gives you the FIR that relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. These rays vitalize the biological function of our cells. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. The FIR rays not only benefit the Lymph Glands, blood vessels and nerves underneath the surface of the skin, but also reach the muscles and tissues and vital organs in the deepest parts of the body. FIR wave triggers enzyme activity as well as the regeneration and normalization of damaged cell tissue.

Relieves Pain

The deep heat of far infrared helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscles and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products (such as lactic acid) and delivers oxygen rich blood to oxygen depleted muscles, so they recover faster.

Improves Skin

the Far Infrared and Negative Ions from Nuga Best products penetrate the skin deeply, helping to detoxify impurities from the skin and lymph. In addition, exfoliation is greatly enhanced by the Far Infrared, rapidly removing dead skin cells. Increased circulation draws your skin's own natural nutrients to the surface, rejuvenating your skin's natural glow.

Burns Calories and Controls Weight

As you relax in the gentle heat of Far Infrared, your body is actually hard at work producing sweat (as if you were in a sauna) pumping blood and burning calories. According to a Journal of the American Medical Association report, a single far infrared session, burns as many calories as rowing or jogging for 30 minutes. You can safely get a full cardio workout and burn up to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Fat becomes water soluble at 110° Fahrenheit. This is when cellulite dissolves and is eliminated through sweating.

Removes Bodily Toxins & Assists in Detoxification

Far Infrared helps to detoxify the body in several important ways. Increased blood circulation stimulates sweat glands, releasing built up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid, cholesterol and uric acid. In addition to sweating, far infrared is capable of removing toxins via several other bodily systems.

Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness

Far Infrared heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many kinds of arthritis and musculo-skelatal disorders. In addition, it has been proved effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other musculo-skeletal aliments. Stiffness, aches and soreness that come with age are reduced or eliminated using FIR.

Improves Immune System Function

Far Infrared Ray's deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial and healthy fever. As the body works to combat the "fever", your body's immune system is activated and strengthened. Combined with the detoxification of harmful toxins and waste products, your overall health and resistance to disease is improved greatly.

Reduces Stress and Fatigue

The gentle warmth of the Far Infrared Rays help to sooth nerves and relax tight or knotted muscles. The end result is reduced stress and improved energy.

Improves Circulation & Cardiovascular Function

Far Infrared Waves raise body temperature warming the blood and expanding the blood vessels. There is an increase in peripheral blood flow and volume, resulting in improved circulation and heart function.
