Effects of far-infrared ray on reproduction, growth, behavior
and some physiological parameters in mice.
Udagawa Y, Nagasawa H.
Experimental Animal Research Laboratory, Meiji University, Kanagawa, Japan.
The effects of chronic exposure to far-infrared ray (FIR) on reproduction, growth,
behavior, survival time and some related parameters were examined in SHN mice. The reproductive parameters differed slightly between the females on the normal racks and those on the FIR racks, which emitted FIR from the ceiling. The age and body weight on the day of vaginal opening was lower in the experimental mice born and maintained on the FIR rack than in the control on the normal rack. In both sexes, the levels of urinary components in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control at 6-7 months of age. Spontaneous motor activity of females during the light and dark phases were higher and lower, respectively, in the experimental group than the control. The survival rate was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control.
These findings suggest that FIR has 'normalization effects' on the organisms.

Far-infrared rays have certain kinds of effects on the human body, especially on skin, blood circulation, and skin cell vitalizing. Some jewelry powders radiate far-infrared rays. Jade has powerful far-infrared ray radiation, and tourmaline has pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties and radiated far-infrared rays. The jewelry powders (fine powdered jade and tourmaline powders) were screened by far-infrared rays for radiation properties and tested for the effects of far-infrared rays on the human skin by temperature observation using an infrared thermal analyzer.

In another study done by Hideyoshi Toyokawa and others in Japan using
rats, published in the Experimental Biology and Medicine, showed that the
FIR can improve wound healing significantly.
Otto Warburg was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1944 for research concerning photosynthesis in connection with the chemotherapeutics of cancer and the use of x-rays. His subsequent research showed that far infrared (the heat radiation of the Sun) impacts cancer.
Dr. Masao Nakamura of the O & P Medical Clinic in Japan has reported great success with the use of
far infrared treatment for: whiplash, rheumatism, insomnia, menopause, sciatica, acne, shoulder stiffness, arthritis, ear diseases, gastroenteritis problems. ...
Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD - author of
"The Science of "Far-Infrared Therapies" - has
extensively researched the uses of Far Infrared Therapy for
natural body healing.
There have been numerous studies on the therapeutic effects of FIR products. One clinical study done by Dr. Gordon Ko and Dr. David Berbrayer at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Science Centers at the University of Toronto, published in the August 2002 issue of Alternative Medicine Review “Journal of Clinical Therapeutics”, showed that there are significant improvements in both subjective measures of pain and discomfort associated with
Raynaud’s Syndrome.
