The Importance of 8 - 10 micron Far Infrared Ray:

Normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees. Most of our body heat is typically radiated away as far infrared at the 8 - 10 micron wavelength. (That is why a room full of people becomes warm.) So, if we generate 8 - 10 micron far infrared and direct it at a human body, it matches the radiant energy leaving the body and as much as 99 percent is absorbed below the surface of the skin. Through this principle of using complementary rays, the absorption of radiant energy stimulates the flow of blood throughout your whole body and energizes your metabolism. Using far infrared rays from the complimentary 8 - 10 micron wavelength is best for the body's overall comfort.

Why the Deep, Penetrating Thermal Action?

The super Radiant Heating Surface is covered with a very fine multifaceted acute-angle silicon surface manufactured in New Mexico. When rays are scattered in all directions by the countless surfaces created by the silicon crystals, the effectiveness of the 160-degree span is even amplified. The radiant transmission area is increased some 10-fold. It simply wouldn't be possible to generate levels of FIR energy high enough to produce the effective results we achieve without the combination of these two design concepts: proper wavelength and a special reflective silicon surface. Electronically Controlled & Safe: Though the radiation surface is capable of reaching 75 degrees C (167 degrees F), the temperature is automatically controlled by a built-in, specially designed regulator which only allows a set temperature while a safety device precludes any chance of overheating from a malfunction.

Simple to Operate:

The Sun Harmony FIR Hothouse Health Builder performs its thermal treatment without ever having to touch the afflicted area. Just set the timer and relax. So simple and convenient! What's more, it consumes a mere 5 cents worth of electricity per hour.

Small and Portable:

This is NOT like the huge FIR instruments you may have seen in hospitals. Ours is entirely new and sized just right for home use. You will be thrilled with the Health Builder's unique qualities. It is a must for your home! A Wider 160-Degree Heating Surface: The 160 degree arched design greatly increases the radiation coverage and enhances its absorption. This unique design is the hallmark of the Health Builder. -Patented technology and processing for ultra high-density radiation. A patented process makes possible 160' dispersed radiation to greatly increase radiation density.

Typical Treatment:

Maximum: 20-60 minutes, twice daily. Initially, you will experience just the warmth and comfort. The long-term benefits will be gained, however, by using it on regular basis. A very slight reddening of the skin is normal. The relief you get is much like that from a good massage. WARNING: This device should NOT be used if you have any acute diseases, open sores, a serious heart condition, are using a pacemaker, or have serious high blood pressure.

How It Works

First:

FIR penetrates four or five centimeters into the dermis -- from muscles into blood vessels, lymphatic glands and nerves. It effects every living cell and produces warmth. In other words, through cell tissue "micro friction" and the vibration of molecular resonance, chemicals within cells are activated.

Second:

The human body is warmed internally through molecular resonance. Capillaries expand activating blood circulation throughout the whole body to enhance metabolism. As a result, metabolic disturbances are ameliroated, tissue regeneration is promoted, and there is markedly enhanced growth potential.

Third:

It plays a comprehensive and compensating role in living things. That is why it can be designated as a heat-type physical therapy apparatus. The warming effect can be very helpful in elimination of such things as the waste products generated by aging, heavy-metals, toxic substances secreted by the sweat and dermis-layer fat glands.

About FIR Treatment

Treatments generally last 20 minutes to an hour. Initially, relief is only temporary, but with repeated treatments the duration of relief becomes longer and eventually becomes lasting.

There are guidelines for dosage, intensity and duration of treatment. During treatment, one should not experience pain nor have a marked perception of heat.

Following treatment, the skin may be slightly pinker than usual and 30 to 60 minutes after a treatment the treated area should feel much like it had been massaged.

Of 150 patients given clinical treatment for sciatica, trifacial neuralgia, articular rheumatism, and stiffness in the shoulders, 70 percent experienced improvement or complete relief. Moreover, very good results were achieved and pain was relieved in cases of shoulder stiffness, bursitis, and lumbago after as few as one or two treatments. Speed of effectiveness and range of applicability are much better than for other heat therapies.
