Far Infrared Clothing and Bands - Natural Healing You Wear
About Far Infrared
After
many years of concentrated research and development, Joymain Science
and Technologies Group based in Nanjing, China, has developed health
caring far infrared clothing. These products are meticulously made by
using a special spinning-in technique, which consists of melting
elements of superfine far infrared powder, and macromolecular material.
These broken down elements are then mixed at high temperatures, and
blended in with fine quality cotton. This is then made into yarn, which
has health caring functions. They can improve micro circulation, remove
blood stasis, ease pain, suppress bacteria, diminish inflammation,
raise your temperature and keep you warm.
Far Infrared
Clothing refers to clothes and bands made from Far Infrared cloth. Far
Infrared Fiber, has been shown to emit light with wavelengths between 8
and 15 microns at a 94% effective rate. This light can be easily
absorbed into the body and has many health benefits.
Far
infrared therapy follows the holistic healing principle. It does not
only treat a symptom, it enhances the whole body function. The
treatment of the symptom occurs naturally.
BENEFITS
Far
Infrared clothing and bands have been proven, by studies and consumers,
to produce the major benefits. Some of the benefits found are improved
micro circulation, increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients in the
blood cell to the body's soft tissue areas, regeneration and fast
healing.
Infrared clothing and band products provide non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects. In addition, tests have shown that infrared clothes and bands still produce the above benefits even after being washed as many as 300 times.
AILMENTS
Far infrared cloth absorbs
and reflects far infrared rays penetrating the hypodermis, speeding up
the blood flow, strengthening the elasticity of blood vessel walls,
increasing the supply of oxygen within the body, improving
micro-circulation, easing pain and reducing inflammation. Far Infrared
clothing and bands have achieved success with many conditions including
fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel,improved muscle tone, lower back pain,
shoulder pain, leg cramps, muscle tension, and compression fractures.
Far infrared clothing and band products may be used at any time of the
day or night for however long the user wants.
Far Infrared products containing Magnets should not be worn by:
Pregnant women, because the possible effects of magnets on the fetus are not known.
People who use a medical device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or insulin pump, because magnets may affect the magnetically controlled features of such devices.
People who use a patch to deliver medication through the skin, in case magnets cause dilation of blood vessels, which could affect the delivery of the medicine. This caution also applies to people with an acute sprains, inflammation, infection or wounds.

By placing the large muscles you wish to compress on the roller and allowing your your body’s weight to press them into the hard foam, you improve circulation and loosen tight body knots in your muscles and tendons ensuring proper muscle quality.
Foam Rollers come in different sizes
Foam Rolling:
You place the roller between your muscle and the floor and use your body weight to gently and slowly roll for the entire length of your muscle.
When you reach a painful spot, stop rolling and use your body weight to press down. Hold that spot until the pain goes away. If the pain does not seem to go away, don’t worry, just continue rolling and hit all of your “spots”.

Tips:
Inversion therapy
is a method of treating back pain by diminishing the influence of
gravity, reducing the compression of the vertebrae and discs and
allowing the muscles and ligaments that encase the spine to relax.
This is typically performed on what's called an inversion table. The table allows you to lie on your back relaxed, in an inverted position. This position eliminates some or all gravitational compression, depending upon how far back you position your body.
Inversion therapy is the safest, quickest and most effective way to increase the space between your vertebrae. Numerous clinical studies published in reputable medical journals have confirmed that inversion really does increase the separation between the discs of the spine, which brings relief from back pain.
For instance, one study considered 175 people who were unable to work due to back pain. After eight inversion treatments, 155 of the patients were able to return to work full time.
Other benefits people experience with a regular program of Inversion therapy :
* Maintains your height. Regularly inverting will help you avoid the "shrinkage" others your age are showing because of the cumulative effect of gravity over a lifetime.
Improves circulation. When you're inverted, your body can circulate your blood aided by gravity rather than having to work against it. In addition, with inversion, gravity helps the lymphatic system clear faster, easing the aches and pains of stiff muscles.
Relieves stress. A full-body stretch feels rejuvenating! And the inversion table makes that relaxation easier to attain than climbing on a jungle gym or taking a yoga class. Many people sleep better with regular inversion therapy.
Heightens mental alertness. Any upside-down activity increases the supply of oxygen to the brain, which many authorities believe helps you maintain mental sharpness.
Increases flexibility and range of motion. With inversion, your joints stay healthy and supple, so that you can easily remain as active as you were in your younger years.
Improves posture. The stretch that comes with reversing the direction of gravity helps you sit, stand and move with more ease and grace.
Realigns the spine after workouts. Running and other aerobic activities inevitably compress your spine, frequently unevenly. One-sided activities like golf or tennis often pull the spine out of alignment. During inversion, minor misalignments often correct themselves naturally.
The numerous applications of the exercise ball follow a range of difficulty levels, and the benefits for back pain can be felt at each level.

The hamstring stretches done while lying on the back are
gentler and place less stress on the back than those done
while sitting. Depending on a person’s specific medical
condition and level of pain, the lying down position may be
preferable and comfortable. In particular, a person with low
back pain should choose whichever position is most tolerable
for their back while still giving a gentle stretch.
