What Are the Benefits of Infrared Heating Pad？
An infrared heating pad is one of the best ways to easily control muscle pain at home. These pads offer a completely different experience and effectiveness compared to regular heating pads, resulting in deeper and more effective heat penetration.
Far infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation (light) with wavelengths between 3 µm to 1,000 µm. All living organisms emit far infrared energy. If we could see it with the naked eye, everyone would look like they were glowing, as shown in the photo below. Infrared heat is transmitted through jade stones, effectively absorbing and smoothly transferring heat to the body, providing more significant therapeutic effects for the whole body.
Far infrared radiation and its therapeutic properties have been studied for over 30 years in China and Japan. Researchers have found that far infrared radiation can help promote circulation, reduce pain, strengthen the cardiovascular system, relieve joint stiffness and inflammation, and activate skin cells.
Far infrared radiation (FIR) has been scientifically proven to effectively treat various types of pain associated with conditions such as sprains, strains, neuropathy, and herniated discs. Several scientific studies have proven the effectiveness of using far infrared radiation (FIR), including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which promotes its biological effects and medical applications. Therefore, far infrared radiation (FIR) heating pads have been shown to be safe and effective for many medical conditions and are an FDA-registered therapeutic technology for use in the United States.
The all-time champion of benefits.If you have an infrared heating pad, sleeve, or mat at your home – you have a natural, safe, and effective pain relief available to you whenever you need it. As the deep blood vessels expand, oxygen-rich blood floods in, and healing components rush to heal inflammation and all affected areas, while relaxing your muscles and joints. This means (for me) pain relief in 5 minutes max. No wonder Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Athletes, and Sports Trainers recommend this treatment.
While this is only temporary pain relief, temporary means 6 hours, compared to 30 minutes achieved by a regular heating pad. And if chronic pain is keeping you from sleeping, a full body infrared heating pad will guarantee a sound and relaxed sleep. Before you buy an infrared heating pad, consider what you need it for. Is it just for one area in your body? Like your knee? Or your elbow? In this case, you only need a small device, like the UTK Small Natural Jade Heating Pad, Back Heating Pad, or Neck Heating Pad.
According to a Journal of the American Medical Association report, in a single Infrared Ray sauna session, you may burn as many calories as you would rowing or jogging for 30 minutes (Maybe I should use this info to convince my husband to get my sauna…). Infrared accelerates the breakdown of fat and cellulite.
Molecules of water and organic substances absorb infrared easily since it is their resonant frequency.
Though she mainly bought it for back pain problems, my sister discovered that it can also prevent the flu and common cold from developing. After suffering from the flu for more than a week, she decided to lay on her heating mat (she has the bio-mat mini version) and see what happens.
She felt the genteel warmth in her lungs and after a few minutes felt better than she has since the flu started. This is no surprise because Far Infrared Ray's deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial “fever” and your body’s immune system is strengthened
Combining the gentle warmth and the relaxed muscles makes this is a great stress relief aid. It’s like lying on the beach in the afternoon sun – not too hot, not too cold – just perfect for some deep sleep. Many chronic pain sufferers find it impossible to sleep at night because of the pain. A full-body infrared mat takes care of this problem; all you have to do is sleep on it
In the August 7, 1981 issue of the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) reported:
Regular use of an infrared sauna may impart a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise. This means it’s possible for people in wheelchairs, those who are otherwise unable to exert themselves, and those who won’t follow an exercise/conditioning program, to achieve a cardiovascular training effect. Infrared heat increases blood flow, similar to that seen during exercise.
Place the mat on the floor, plug it in, and select the desired heat setting. Allow the mat to reach a certain temperature for 20 minutes.
During this time, prepare your space. Turn on some music, use a diffuser and relaxation oil blend, and be sure to have a large glass of water on hand. You may also need a small towel for wiping sweat, a large towel to place underneath the mat while it is in use, or a mylar blanket to create a far infrared sauna experience. To use your mat for a far infrared sauna, turn the heat up to the maximum setting, which should be 158 degrees Fahrenheit or 78 degrees Celsius. This may take 30-40 minutes to reach full temperature.
Lay on the mat and relax for 40 minutes to an hour. If you are not sweating after an hour, you can extend the treatment another 30 minutes for a total of 1.5 hours. When you are finished, take a shower as usual and go about your day. You can use the far infrared pad every day if desired, but be sure to stay well hydrated while using it.
The advantage of infrared heating pads is that they are easily accessible and easy to use. Anyone can purchase one of these heating pads and use them for pain relief. However, if you do suffer from severe chronic pain or muscle problems, it is important to consult your doctor before choosing FIR therapy.
FIR heating pads are a safe and effective way to manage muscle pain at home. You don't have to worry about the risk of burns, or the risks associated with many medications. However, infrared heating pads are usually used only for pain management and not for treating the cause of the problem.
If you suffer from a serious muscle problem, it is important to explore all available treatment options. Heat therapy is one of the many ways to achieve this goal.
