Infrarot Therapie - die heilende Kraft des Sonnenlicht
Was ist Infrarotlicht?
Infrarotlicht ist ein unsichtbarer Teil des Spektrums von Sonnenlicht. und macht zusammen mit sichtbarem Rotlicht etwa 50 % der Strahlungsenergie der Sonne aus. Durch seine speziellen Wellenlängen beeinflusst es das Leben auf unserem Planeten. Dieser Prozess ist unausweichlich wichtig für die Gesundheit und das Wachstum von Mensch, Tier und Pflanze.
Wie wirkt Infrarotlicht auf unseren Körper?
Wenn Infrarotstrahlung auf Gewebe trifft, werden Moleküle in Schwingungen versetzt. Aufgrund von entstehender Wärme kommt es unausweichlich zu einem Temperaturanstieg. Infrarot-Strahlung kann die lokale Durchblutung fördern und gleichzeitig die Muskelspannung senken. Traditionell wird Infrarotstrahlung in der Medizin unter anderem zur Linderung bei Muskelschmerzen und Verspannungen eingesetzt, sowie bei Autoimmunerkrankungen oder Wundheilungsstörungen.
Infrarotlicht wird therapeutisch eingesetzt:
- Reduziert Ödeme, Entzündungen und chronische Gelenkserkrankungen.
- fördert die Heilung von Wunden auch in tieferen Geweben und Nerven
- bei Schmerzen, Verspannungen und neurologische Störungen.
- Entgiftung von Schwermetallen, eliminiert Viren und Bakterien.
- präventiv stärkt Infrarotlicht das Immunsystem.
