Can hypertension patients wear far infrared underwear? Why patients of severe hypertension shall not use them?
Surely ordinary hypertension patients (below 180/110mmhg) can wear far infrared underwear and use far infrared magneto-therapy beddings. Far infrared therapy can expand small and capillary blood vessels, improve microcirculation, and help reduce blood pressure. However, patients of severe hypertension (above 180/110mmhg) usually have severe arteriosclerosis and low elasticity of blood vessel walls. When the amount of effective blood circulation decreases, the small vessels in the outer areas will contract so that the blood supply to key organs such as heart, brain and kidney etc. is guaranteed. In this case, the blood pressure will become high. Unstable blood pressure, psychological stimulation, and significant mood changes can cause the rupture of frail blood vessels and lead to cerebral hemorrhage.
