Infrared is an electromagnetic ray outside of the visible light spectrum. Research into infrared light therapy has shown some usefulness to the human body. Since the beginning of studies into the usefulness of this invisible rays or light in medicine a few decades ago, some promising results have been achieved. Most objects at room temperature emit this in the form of thermal radiations.
This invisible rays is able to penetrate into tissues, depending on the strength and the precise wavelength use. It is thus used to treat ailments up to or more than 10mm beneath the skin surface. Wound, skin rashes, burns and scars are all treatable by infrared therapy. It is also successful in the treatment of skin infections.
Therapies with the use of infrared technology can be used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and strokes. Directing this rays on part of the body increases the metabolism of nitric acid by the cells and thus increasing the rate of blood flow to the cells of the body. This can help clear clogged blood vessels and help build more blood capillaries and hence reducing the pressure at which blood moves in the body.
The increase in blood circulation in the human body resulting from the use of the technology is also beneficial to the muscles. More oxygen is delivered to the muscle cells for the synthesis of energy. Muscles exposed to this invisible rays can therefore perform better on physical activities because of better energy production. Muscle contraction is also improved with this treatment. This is because the production of adenosine tri-phosphate is stimulated by a kind of electromagnetic radiation. This chemical is the main source of energy for muscle contraction activities. The treatment is therefore useful in the treatment of stroke related muscle contraction problems.
Healing of injured muscles with the technology has also proven successful. The improvement in the rate of blood flow when this invisible ray is thrown on a part of the body means more oxygen reaches injured tissue cells more quickly. More nutrients and chemicals needed for the repair of the injured cells are also delivered at a faster rate. This leads to the quick healing of scars, wounds and acupuncture points.
Brain damage can also be reduced with infrared therapy. What happens during a stroke is that blood clots in parts of the brain, and obstructs the flow of blood to nearby brain cells. After a while, these brain cells die if they do not receive oxygen supply in time. Infrared increases the rate of blood flow hence making sure that, all brain cells receive oxygen supply faster. This prevents cells from dying off. This kind of electromagnetic radiation also quickens the healing of injured brain cells to bring them to normal activity in minimal time.
Positive results have been obtained in experiments to treat nervous system disorders with infrared technology. The infrared rays kindle the regeneration of the cells of the nervous system. This leads to the healing of injured nerves and replacement of damaged ones. Though a lot of testing is still ongoing in this area, it is being used at a few medical centers to treat serious injuries to the spine.
Light therapy has also shown positive signs of treating depression and sleep associated problems. This technology is able to relax the body and minimize the effects of depression faster than any anti-depressant medication. People with insomnia who received light therapy are able to sleep better.
