Far Infrared Mineral Light Therapy

​

At Acupuncture Qualicum Beach you can enjoy the benefits of a 

Far-infrared Mineral light therapy during your treatment. 

 

What is this exactly, and how can you benefit? 

​

Far infrared light is  the safest segment of energy that comes from the sun, offers a wide array of therapeutic benefit for various health conditions. Studies demonstrate that far-infrared helps enhance circulation in the skin, modulate sleep, ease pain, protect against oxidative stress, and relieve inflammation.

 

Infrared therapy has many roles in the human body. These include detoxification, pain relief, reduction of muscle tension, relaxation, improved circulation, weight loss, skin purification, and boosting of the immune system. 

 

The lamp we use also has a Mineral plate which is a  round plate coated with a proprietary mineral clay formation consisting of 33 earth elements essential to the human body.

 

Pain relief. Muscle and joint pain, as well as pain from inflammation, arthritis, soft tissue injuries, sprains, back pain, scar tissue, various skin conditions and other similar conditions all benefit from using a TDP lamp.

 

Receive much needed essential minerals and generate various biochemical benefits that the body may lack due to illness, accident or injury. The human body needs vitamins and minerals to regenerate and heal itself. When you are sick, hurt or fatigued, these are essential to help you recover. The mineral ionizes the key minerals it's coated with and delivers them to your body.

 

 Accelerated decomposition of damaged and diseased cells. The protons emitted by FIR help your body release enzymes which increases the rate at which the body eliminates these cells and also leads to...

 

 Improved blood circulation. FIR waves produce nitric oxide and expand vessels and tiny capillaries which stimulates increased circulation and oxygenation. This helps deliver nutrients and repair cells, as well as remove waste products and toxins, from all over the body.

 

 Detoxification. As vessels and capillaries expand, FIR initiates a process to dissolve toxins by loosening the water bonds that keep toxins in your circulatory and lymphatic system.

 

Enhanced immunity. Through its subtle heating, Far infrared seems to increase the amount of white blood cells and T-cells in our body, which fight diseases. Also, the improved circulation help these cells move about the body more efficiently, and the white cells can use the nitric oxide produced by FIR to defend against tumors.

 

Metabolic boost. The heat FIR generates in your body burns calories and also stimulates your body to continue burning calories after your session is over. Metabolism also depends on the health of a number of organs and systems. The detoxifying effects of FIR, along with the essential minerals imparted by the mineral plate, can keep these systems well maintained and efficient.

 

 Comfortable heat and pain free and relaxing. Ever stand outside on a sunny winter day? The air temperature can be pretty chilly but your body feels warm. That is because the FIR waves from the sun are penetrating your skin and warming you up from the inside. That penetrating warmth is healing, therapeutic and soothing - feels great on a cold winter day and it is the same waves you will find radiating out of TDP lamps. They can relax your muscles and do all those wonderful things above, and more.
