Far Infrared Portable Sauna Dome
Far infrared therapy leverages cutting-edge science to enhance your health and wellness. This increasingly popular treatment offers a natural approach to addressing various health concerns and promotes overall well-being. Far infrared therapy utilizes specialized devices, such as the SOQI Ceramic Heater – Far Infrared Dome, which emit infrared rays that penetrate deeply into the body. These rays gently warm your tissues, stimulate circulation, and provide a range of therapeutic benefits.
Incorporating far infrared therapy into your daily routine can offer significant healing benefits. Whether dealing with chronic pain, seeking relaxation, or aiming to boost your overall health, Far Infrared can be an invaluable tool in your wellness journey. Explore the science behind far infrared therapy and discover how this innovative technology can support your health and enhance your quality of life.
Far infrared products like the SOQI Ceramic Heater / Far Infrared Dome (formerly the HotHouse) emit far infrared rays that warm you from the inside out with gentle heat. Heat Therapy with far infrared works well to promote circulation and temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
Many people find that once their muscles relax, their stress reduces and they sleep better. Health problems such as arthritis, headaches, and joint stiffness have found symptom relief using FIR therapy. Heating the body and promoting perspiration can also help the body release toxins, including heavy metals.
What are Far Infrared Rays
- They are a specific wavelength of sunlight.
- They are the safest and most beneficial rays from the sun.
- They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, just below red light.
- They are not visible to the human eye, yet can be seen with special cameras.
- Our bodies perceive them as a gentle, comfortable type of radiant heat. Radiant heat is a simple form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion without heating the air in between.
The normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees, and most of our body heat is radiated at a wavelength of 8-10 microns. The SOQI Ceramic FIR Topical Warming Unit directs a similar wavelength back towards our body, therefore matching the radiant energy leaving our body. This makes it best for our body’s overall comfort.
Some NASA research indicates that within the broad infrared spectrum, the rays in the 8-14 Micron range are Far Infrared (FIR) Rays. These rays come from the sun and safely reach the Earth’s surface. They are most effective at penetrating the human body and are most beneficial to it. Due to its comfort and FIR’s ability to penetrate deep into our skin, it gently elevates the body’s surface temperature and is known for supporting healthy circulation and temporarily reducing muscle aches and inflammation, helping you feel better.
The Benefits of Far Infrared Therapy
The warming effect of FIR produces a gentle heat which is easily absorbed by our bodies deep into our tissues and cells (approximately 4cm). When our bodies heat up, through any means, including exercise, it can stimulate our metabolism in many different ways and promote healthy circulation. Sweating, which usually occurs when the body is hot, can also promote detoxification and the elimination of toxins, including poisonous heavy metals, chemicals from your food, and excess uric acid. These toxins can be eliminated through your skin, especially when the far infrared rays activate your sebaceous glands. Also, this warmth in our tissues acts similarly to a fever, waking us up and boosting our immune system.
The warming effect of FIR also helps muscles relax, relieving muscular aches, pain, and swelling, as well as stress and fatigue. Say goodbye to that tired, sore, and achy feeling. It may also help in fighting inflammation.
When we feel hot, we seek shade. When we feel cold, we seek the warmth of the sun. We all desire a comfortable temperature. This comfortable temperature that we seek is synchronized with a comfortable energy frequency or ‘ wavelength’. The Human body is its own natural thermal source.
When living things absorb FIR at the 8-14 micron wavelength, it causes a vibrating movement of molecules in the living tissue. This vibration increases heat energy, which can activate the organism’s cellular activity. Many organic molecules have the same vibration frequency as FIR. Sunlight is used by many organisms for various functions, such as photosynthesis in plants. The sunlight or heat from the sun activates properties within the plant.
Far Infrared Rays can penetrate our bodies well into the dermis (the middle layer of skin) and may increase the body’s tissue temperature to approximately 104-107 degrees Fahrenheit! When the body’s temperature increases, principles are enabled that promote the function of a healthy circulatory and immune system.
Healthy circulation can mean many things for the body because our blood is so influential in the various chemical reactions that occur throughout the body. Our circulatory system delivers nutrients and oxygen to our cells and removes wastes via the capillary bed. Our circulation also supports the regenerative properties throughout all our muscles, organs, and tissues. You may also benefit from supporting healthy autonomic nerve function and reducing overstimulation of sensory nerves. Because of all these benefits, Far Infrared Therapy can be the perfect health builder in maintaining one’s general wellness.
Features and Design
The warm, comfortable feeling of the SOQI Ceramic Heater is derived from its “Ceramic Heating Surface”. The surface is covered with a fine, multi-faceted, acute-angle silicon surface. Warming Rays are projected to you using a patented design with its silicon surface, which is the only dome that amplifies the FIR Rays for maximum heat absorption. Most other domes on the market have a carbon-metallic lining, which doesn’t provide a crystal amplification effect. Many Far Infrared Saunas or FIR Saunas have a limited area emitting far infrared rays, so unless you are directly in front of the area emitting the far infrared rays, they are not being absorbed by your body.
When the rays are scattered in all directions from the surfaces created by the silicon crystals, the effectiveness of the 160-degree span is enhanced. You could not possibly reproduce the effective warmth without the combination of these design concepts – proper wavelength and the special reflective silicon surface! Our FIR Topical Warming Unit is actually more effective at absorption than a far-infrared sauna.
The surface temperature of this unit is controlled automatically by a built-in, specially designed regulator. This regulator will only allow a set temperature. This unit also includes a safety device to prevent overheating due to a malfunction. This product is not a large machine like the ones you may have seen in hospitals. It is designed to be easy to use at home.
How to Use the Far Infrared Dome
Maximum Usage 15- 60 minutes, twice daily. Initially, relief is only temporary, but with repeated treatments, its duration seems to lengthen. You should not experience any pain or have a marked perception of heat.
Sometimes, after use, the skin can take on a slightly reddish appearance, similar to the sensation one gets after a massage. Remember to keep your eyes closed while under the unit; you may even want to place a damp paper towel over them to prevent them from drying out. Please avoid touching the inside of the dome during operation.
Positions for the FIR Topical Warming Unit
The SOQI Ceramic FIR Topical Warming Unit can be used in various positions, even while performing relaxing activities. It can be placed over any part of your body while lying on the floor, comes with armrests and extensions, and can even be placed behind your back while sitting in a chair.
FAQ on the SOQI Ceramic FIR Dome
1. What are the benefits of using a portable far-infrared sauna or a far-infrared sauna dome?
A far infrared sauna dome is a specialized type of portable far infrared sauna with a dome-shaped design. It focuses far infrared heat on the body, allowing you to lie comfortably. The primary difference from a traditional sauna is that an infrared sauna dome uses radiant heat to warm the body internally and directly rather than heating the surrounding air. This can lead to a more intense and effective session, helping the body to sweat and excrete toxins.
2. What are the benefits of using a portable far-infrared sauna or a far-infrared sauna dome?
