Sir Frederick William Herschel

Sir Frederick William Herschel (1738-1822), a German-English astronomer discovered the existence of infrared radiation around the year 1800, in such a way that he let the sunshine pass through a prism and by holding a thermometer he studied the temperature of the different spectrums. He observed higher temperature beyond the red end of the spectrum, that is in the invisible spectrum, which implied to the existence of radiation. Infrared is an electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwave and radiowaves.

The far infrared enables the body to absorb heat to a greater extent. Heat gained from infrared radiation activates the metabolism of the body, penetrates deeper into the skin tissues than any other types of heat, increases temperature under the skin, dilates the capillaries, intensifies blood flow and removes metabolic waste.

Infrared radiation controls the autonomic nervous system by releasing different types of biologically active substances and hormones that help maintain the functional balance of the body. It strenghtens the immune system with its preventive effect. It alleviates fatigue in the body, tensions in the shoulders, lumbago, works effectively on muscle weakness, and it provides relief to the joints, therefore it is indispensable in the treatment of old-age diseases. By using infrared in summer we can prevent many illnesses occurring typically in winter-time – even stroke. In high temperature pores enlarge even more, so infrared can penetrate deeper, boosts the immune system and clears out blood vessels.

Some pay to „pick up” infrared from the sunlight on the beach, but everybody knows that sunrays can have many harmful effects as well. Some use Ceragem bed for free and heat up their body only with useful infrared. For those who are stressed out for having to work when it is so hot outside, such an infrared tool could come in handy. They just lie down on the bed, heat their neck and in about 40 minutes all the stress of the day is relieved, the body relaxes and, eventually, they are even more friendly to talk to. What’s more, men’s virility can increase on such a lovely summer night.
