What is Far Infrared (FIR) Heat Therapy?

 

FIR Heat Therapy is a form of heat therapy that utilizes far-infrared radiation to generate heat that penetrates deep into the body and is considered to be one of the most beneficial therapies for pain and wellness. For example, when you step outside into the sun you can feel warmth caused by far infrared rays, an invisible light. It is the same light that plants use to photosynthesize in order to feed. This plant dependency of far infrared can be found in the human body as well. That warm resonating feeling you get from the far infrared rays speaks to our bodies’ need for rays of sunlight. That warm feeling can be harnessed to improve our wellness.
