An infrared lamp is a physiotherapeutic light device that has anti-inflammatory, warming and tonic effects on biological tissues. It is used for local thermal effects on human skin to improve blood circulation and improve the health of the body.
The intense light emitted by this device penetrates deeply into the skin and is converted into healing heat, actively acting on bacteria and viruses, while expanding blood vessels and stimulating blood flow, manifests itself as a catalyst for protective mechanisms and metabolic processes.
An infrared lamp is used in the treatment of inflammatory non-purulent processes, colds, to relieve pain in the lower back, joints, neck and with excessive muscle tension. The impact is carried out by intensive heating of the human body by a stream of thermal infrared rays.
Infrared emitters: types
- Domestic heaters. They can be of various capacities, designed for any volume of premises.
- Industrial heaters with a capacity of 4 kilowatts. With their help, it is possible to provide infrared heating of large workshops and warehouses.
There is also a ceramic infrared lamp for outdoor areas and playgrounds. At the same time, central heating is not used, but only local heating in cottages, loggias, in greenhouses, winter gardens and other facilities.
Industrial IR heaters operate in various environments, including in a vacuum. An infrared lamp for heating rooms is used to improve the quality of heating and significantly reduce energy consumption. New devices are also being developed and introduced into production that will help to significantly improve the quality of life.
There are also infrared heaters that are designed to irradiate only the human body. Heat is transmitted to humans through irradiation with infrared rays. In this case, the area of the skin that is irradiated is supplied intensely with blood, as a result of which the metabolism is significantly improved.
Under the influence of infrared light, the human body begins to recover, while inflammation is removed and the metabolism is normalized. Infrared light can be used as adjunctive therapy, for example, in the treatment of ears, nose and throat; radiation is also part of the procedures for caring for the skin of the body and face (especially problematic). Also beneficial is the infrared lamp that acts to strengthen the cardiovascular system; it even helps to treat frostbite.
But a specialist consultation before using the device in each case is still necessary, since there are contraindications for such therapy. An infrared lamp is not used for existing inflammatory processes and tumors in the body, since heat can cause exacerbation of diseases. Be attentive to your health!
