I recently got into light therapy and agree its a bit overwhelming the amount of info to learn. In a nutshell.Not so expensive:
Yoga mat, heated mat - Firzone - Leaders in thermal infrared technology
I am surprised, as they say, and other webs do say, that far IR is therapeutic.
The heat is like the sun radiation, and increasing your temp is doing the same job as fever for killing bugs inside you!
+ it helps to detox heavy metals.
It even seems to have been measured with fat analysis.
I do want to detox mercury, + my normal temps are too low + I have some chronic light infection (mouth and throat and sinus) + I have tendinitis.
I do not understand what is the difference and the use of red light.
What is said about the 5-15 micron range seems ok....
What is that range @x-ray peat? Between too little and too much?I recently got into light therapy and agree its a bit overwhelming the amount of info to learn. In a nutshell.
Redlight around 620-750 nm is good for skin treatment like wrinkles and for hair growth
near Infrared red 750-900 nm is good for deeper tissue, sore muscles, thryroid, internal organs
both stimulate mitochondrial activity
both of these have a bell shaped curve for effectiveness, meaning too little doesn't do much and too much can be dangerous
Far infrared is used for detox as in saunas. Here I think you need to sweat to get the toxins out otherwise you may just release them to the bloodstream and then they retoxify some other area of the body.
Its kind of complicated as every light gives off a different amount of power. So you first need to know the power density of your light in mW/cm2 and then can do the calculations based on the red light studies for what you want to accomplish. I have no idea how powerful my lights are as I bought a generic grow light and an IR security light. For now, I basically use them for about 60 seconds in each spot until I can figure out what I have.What is that range @x-ray peat? Between too little and too much?
Thank you @x-ray peat!Its kind of complicated as every light gives off a different amount of power.

Here is probably more info than you were asking for.

Super useful, now I understand better!@Xisca one of the most useful effects from red and near infrared light is that it removes nitric oxide from the mitochondria, allowing the use of oxygen. This only happens at those wavelengths as far as we know. There may be a benefit to warming up but it's a separate effect. You can get some red, near infrared and heat from heat lamps.
If you don't sweat out the toxins then they are just being liberated from the fat cells and into the blood stream. Some will retoxify the body and some will stress the kidneys and liver as they are removed. Sweating is a major detox process that avoids all that.Super useful, now I understand better!
I want to use oxygen better and say farewell to lactic acid and pain!
So I need red lamp.
But I also want to detox mercury and whatever, toxid endotoxin, as it seems obvious I have these.
I am not sure we need to sweat.
It seems that heat is enough, but the FIR range in that case.
When we sweat we need to shower right after.
The benefit of IR saunas is that the body is not heated up as much as normal saunas to get an equivalent amount of detox. If @Xisca does have mercury poisoning I think the "stress" is worth it. IMO saunas are quite relaxing and probably counteract any increase in stress from sweatingI think the stress of excessive sweating might be a net negative even it it does release metals.

This confirm the need I have...Some will retoxify the body and some will stress the kidneys and liver as they are removed. Sweating is a major detox process that avoids all that.
