WHAT ARE INFRARED RAYS?
Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we
can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared
segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in-between. This process
is called
conversion.
The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths measured in microns: near infrared: 0.76-1.5
microns; middle infrared: 1.5-5.6 microns; and far infrared: 5.6-1000 microns. Among these segments, only
far infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the
warming effect is very uniform.

ARE INFRARED RAYS SAFE?
Because infrared rays are part of sunlight, they are not only safe but also highly beneficial to our bodies on a
cellular level. Health professionals have used infrared heat lamps for decades to
treat muscle and joint
problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep
newborn babies warm.
