What is far-infrared radiant heat?
Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion (DLC). All life requires FIR heat from the sun. FIR heat produces the same useful energy as the sun without the harmful ultraviolet rays or electromagnetic field radiation. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy that penetrates 1.5″ – 2″ deep into the body to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue. It warms our body from the inside out, stimulates our immune system and eliminates waste material through skin pores (the body eliminates toxins naturally by sweating) and promotes blood circulation. The deep heat of the POD helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles, speeding healing time.
