Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki owns a Far Infrared Therapy Clinic in Japan, where he conducted extensive researches on the far infrared therapy and its effects. In his book „Far infrared therapy” he points out that one among many reasons why this therapy is so effective in the treatment of several illnesses is that far infrared rays can remove such harmful toxins as mercury, which is often the cause of health problems. The human body works as a bio-accumulator, therefore several toxins impeding self-healing can not be removed directly after getting into the organism. The accumulation of toxic substances prevent the natural self-healing process of the body.
When toxic gases like sulphur dioxide and carbon-dioxide or such toxic substances as lead, mercury or chlorine interfere with water molecules, they get encompasses with the water molecules. Where these toxic substances accumulate in the body, the blood circulation and the cellular energy is decreased. Theoretically, IR rays make the water molecules vibrate and as the effect of this vibration they „shake out” the toxic substances. The detoxication process commences when a FIR radiation at 10 micron hits the large size water molecules and they start to oscillate.
The vibration weakens the ionic bonds between the atoms holding the water molecule together. As a result of persistent vibration the water bubbles in the body start to dissolve, trapped gases and other toxic substances get released. Japanese scientists claim that similar phenomenon can be detected when applying FIR radiation therapy on capillary blockages: the far infrared heat dilates the capillaries and starts up the dissolution process of toxic substances.
When any tissue of the body is exposed to far infrared radiation by the sunlight, a speedy warming-up kicks in that can be measured with thermography. This warmth, plus the activation of other different reaction mechanisms accelerate the healing processes.
