Far infrared (FIR) radiation (λ = 3-100 μm) is a subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum that has been investigated for biological effects. The goal of this review is to cover the use of a further sub-division (3- 12 μm) of this waveband, that has been observed in both and studies, to stimulate cells and tissue, and is considered a promising treatment modality for certain medical conditions. Technological advances have provided new techniques for delivering FIR radiation to the human body. Specialty lamps and saunas, delivering pure FIR radiation (eliminating completely the near and mid infrared bands), have became safe, effective, and widely used sources to generate therapeutic effects. Fibers impregnated with FIR emitting ceramic nanoparticles and woven into fabrics, are being used as garments and wraps to generate FIR radiation, and attain health benefits from its effects.
远红外线(FIR)辐射(波长λ = 3 - 100μm)是电磁光谱的一个细分领域,人们已对其生物效应展开研究。本综述的目的是探讨该波段中一个更细分的波段(3 - 12μm)的应用,该波段在[具体研究1]和[具体研究2]中均有观察到,可用于刺激细胞和组织,并且被认为是针对某些医疗状况的一种有前景的治疗方式。技术进步为向人体输送远红外线辐射提供了新技术。能够发出纯远红外线辐射(完全消除近红外和中红外波段)的特制灯具和桑拿房,已成为安全、有效的广泛用于产生治疗效果的辐射源。浸渍有发射远红外线的陶瓷纳米颗粒并织入织物的纤维,正被用作衣物和披肩以产生远红外线辐射,并从其效果中获得健康益处。
