Far Infrared Radiation

The electromagnetic waves constitute different wavelengths of light from which Far infrared (FIR) is beneficial for living cells. Extensive studies and trials have been conducted over the last two decades in multidimensional biological domains to identify its unlimited health benefits. FIR radiations improve the microcirculation of the human body, stimulate cell growth, penetrate through skin tissues non-invasively, create intramolecular vibrations create an overall healthy metabolism, which ultimately affects overall improved cardiac and metabolic activity. This phenomenon is used to explore different pathological conditions to identify their significance in the medical field. In this review, we explored the biological effectiveness and the medical significance of Far infrared radiation (FIR) in murine melanoma Cell Growth, Lymphedema, airborne viruses, Cardiac diseases, Wound healing and burns, Autonomic Activities, Hemodialysis, Allergic Rhinitis, Aesthetic medicine, textiles, and other domains such as obesity and gut microbiota.

We report the first high-pressure spectroscopy study on Zn(IO3)2 using synchrotron far-infrared radiation. Spectroscopy was conducted up to pressures of 17 GPa at room temperature. Twenty-five phonons were identified below 600 cm−1 for the initial monoclinic low-pressure polymorph of Zn(IO3)2. The pressure response of the modes with wavenumbers above 150 cm−1 has been characterized, with modes exhibiting non-linear responses and frequency discontinuities that have been proposed to be related to the existence of phase transitions. Analysis of the high-pressure spectra acquired on compression indicates that Zn(IO3)2 undergoes subtle phase transitions around 3 and 8 GPa, followed by a more drastic transition around 13 GPa.

Using four-channel photoplethysmography (PPG) for acquiring peripheral arterial waveforms, this study investigated vascular and autonomic impacts of combined acupuncture-far infrared radiation (FIR) in improving peripheral circulation. Twenty healthy young adults aged 25.5±4.6 were enrolled for 30-minute measurement. Each subject underwent four treatment strategies, including acupuncture at ST36 (Zusanli), pseudoacupuncture, FIR, and combined acupuncture-FIR at different time points. Response was assessed at 5-minute intervals. Area under arterial waveform at baseline was defined as AreaBaseline, whereas AreaStim referred to area at each 5-minute substage during and after treatment. AreaStim/AreaBaseline was compared at different stages and among different strategies. Autonomic activity at different stages was assessed using low-to-high frequency power ratio (LHR). The results demonstrated increased perfusion for each therapeutic strategy from stage 1 to stage 2 (all p<0.02). Elevated perfusion was noted for all treatment strategies at stage 3 compared to stage 1 except pseudoacupuncture. Increased LHR was noted only in subjects undergoing pseudoacupuncture at stage 3 compared to stage 1 (p=0.045). Reduced LHR at stage 2 compared to stage 1 was found only in combined treatment group (p=0.041). In conclusion, the results support clinical benefits of combined acupuncture-FIR treatment in enhancing peripheral perfusion and parasympathetic activity.
