How To Use Far Infrared

Scientific research has shown that people who are chronically ill, chemically sensitive or have toxic levels from exposure to any toxin, pathogen, or advanced nano material have a lower base temperature than normal. Their natural far infrared energy source is being diminished by the condition called disease.

Using any MPS Global far infrared sauna or smaller unit is an effective therapy for restoring your health and vitality.

If you are challenged by a chronic illness or pain, it is advisable to begin the sauna sessions in increments of 20-30 minutes and gradually work your way to an hour for releasing deep toxins.

If you are using the heating pad or Rainbow unit, you can set the temperature on low and the timer on 90 minutes to start. Then you can gradually increase the time to sleeping with one of these units all night.

For some individuals, using the sauna everyday without a break for extended periods may cause dehydration and loss of minerals if you are not aware of replenishing these vital elements during use. Please drink extra amounts of fresh, filtered water!

The sauna benefits will be greater and faster simply because there are 6.5 panels in the sauna to deliver the therapeutic effects. The Rainbow is 1 panel and the Heating pad is a half panel. Any of the MPS Global products will facilitate the healing properties of the pure far infrared energy, but simply stated, it may take longer when using the smaller units.

You may use as much FIR heat therapy as you want, but do watch for dehydration and signs of toxicological symptoms that may occur due to the detoxification process and removal of hazardous materials/nano microbic materials from the body. (Keep your kidneys clean and supported well). FIR will induce a 'natural fever' when a 1 degree change in temperature occurs within the body mass. This is part of the principles that FIR therapy will help restore our own natural ability to produce FIR heat. (This may not be generated as easily with the pad.)

Using far infrared therapy will allow the body to attack any infectious material, foreign invader (chemicals), biofilms, nano microbic material and biomaterials. The melting point of many chemicals is greater than the body, but FIR creates temperatures that are RADIANT HEAT (cold heat) and will not burn the skin just push out foreign matter.

Far Infrared Radiant heat accelerates your internal regeneration of cells and the removal of superoxide molecules and toxins.

We recommend using caution with the HEATING PAD and the proximity/distance you position yourself from the panel. Some users have reported a strong detox reaction that accelerated the release of fibers, other nano materials, and toxins so as to make a lesion or affected area appear to get worse. The reason for this is due to the accelerated release of toxins in the area you apply the pad. By placing the pad a distance of about 12-18 inches away from you, this will not be as severe.

The HEATING PAD is very effective without placing it directly on your body. A great way to use the pad is to place it under your bed overnight. Not between the mattresses, but on the floor underneath. FIR heat has no problem penetrating 2 feet of concrete so it will not be deterred by the distance and mattresses.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

The most important thing to understand about far infrared therapy is that it is not about the temperature, it is about the exposure to the wave length frequency produced by the panels. Using a lower temp for longer exposure may be more beneficial for detoxing.

Within our personal experience, we have yet to use the high setting on any of the units. In fact, it is best to find a temperature setting that will allow you to stay in or on the unit for at least an hour per therapeutic session.

MPS Global Far Infrared Sauna:

When you turn on your 2 person infrared sauna, it will take a few minutes to warm enough to feel the 'heat'. It is our personal experience and therefore recommendation to set the temperature to approximately 120 degrees F. (There is no wrong temperature, it is a matter of setting it to one that you can spend at least an hour in the unit when you start the detox protocols.)

It normally takes about 45 minutes for the sauna to reach this temperature. If during the session, you hear the click noise near the control panel, this indicates the FIR panels have turned off because they have reached the setting; they will cycle back on after a little while when the temperature drops back down inside the sauna. If you want this to occur sooner, simply open the door a bit to release the hot air and when you hear the click noise again that indicates they have come back on. (These units are energy efficient so don't worry about this as if it were wasteful.)

The list of FIR sauna benefits is large. Each individual will experience the return of their own Far Infrared Radiance at different times. This is obviously going to depend on factors such as chronic/acute illness, genetics, overall lifetime health conditioning, and consistency of using the therapy.

You will experience a hunger for the heat as you start the therapy. Your cells are utilizing the FIR and healing during this time. Then a day will come (45 straight days for my first detox series) and you will no longer feel like a session. When you experience this, it means that your body has turned on it's natural Far Infrared Radiant heat and does not require this daily boost. If you continue doing sessions, there is no harm as any FIR that your cells do not use at anytime will simply pass harmlessly through the tissue.

Once I had completed my initial detox phase of 45 days, it was many months before I felt the need to return to a full sauna session. It is now part of my on-going health maintenance program and I get a full body boost a few times a month. My experience now is that it is continually flushing and stimulating my cells deep inside as a preventative, anti aging therapy. Literally, my MPS far infrared sauna is my anti aging box.

TROUBLE SHOOTING:

In most homes, the sauna must be plugged in to a 20v wall socket or it will trip the circuit breaker. In homes that are wired at 15v, we have creatively worked around this issue by purchasing an electrician's quality extension cord (about $55) and can plug it into a wall socket from a remote area, or larger appliance outlet like the washing machine of your home while using it. This way we can have lights, radio, etc. on in the same room while we are in the sauna. We always unplug it when it is not in use.

Remember that ALL the MPS Global products non-refundable AND are under at least a 2 year warranty. The defective equipment must be returned prior to any replacements being issued. Please contact HGV at Contact Us if you ever have such issues.

MPS Global Heating Pad:

Once again, it is important to understand that it is not about the heat and this is very obvious when using the pad. We never recommend using it on the highest setting. The low and mid temperature settings are very effective for producing the therapeutic quality close to the body. If you do use the high setting, please be very aware of furniture materials that may be touching and be very cautious picking up the pad if it has been running on a high heat. It will be hot!

The timer functions like a normal time, input the amount of time you wish. If you want it to stay on, then set to 99 for continuous and it will stay on until you turn it off. Please do not leave the heating pad unattended.

The temperature is in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Here is a site that has a calculator:
http://www.csgnetwork.com/tempconvjava.html

90 celsius is about 200 fahrenheit. This is a hot setting. We recommend starting with a setting of 30 – 40 to start until you have had more experience with your pad settings.

Do Not Bend the heating pad or make a crease at any time. It can break and will not be covered under the warranty. This pad is stiff so if it is too uncomfortable to lie on, it is just as effective to place it on top of you or prop directly to one side. It will radiate easily up to 5-6 feet from the pad, just be sure you are sitting in the line of sight to the heating panel. The FIR wave lengths do not bend.

Place the heating pad on your office chair or any chair that you sit in for any length of time. Studies have shown that using the far-infrared heating pad while sitting will reduce back pain and stiffness.

Use the heating pad with a Castor oil treatment to target areas like the kidneys and liver. Saturate a flannel cloth with Castor oil to wrap the area you want to target. This gets messy so be sure to have a towel to protect furniture or bedding. Apply FIR heat for one hour to balance the positive and negative charges of your cells.

You can cover the pad with a cotton pillow case to help it stay clean, especially if you are using any oils during the session. TROUBLE SHOOTING:

The FIR heating pad's heat therapy is directly mainly toward one side, be sure the correct side is facing up when it is turned on. The silver side is the back of the pad so be sure this is the side facing down.

Remember that ALL the MPS Global products non-refundable AND are under at least a 2 year warranty. The defective equipment must be returned prior to any replacements being issued. Please contact HGV at Contact Us if you ever have such issues.

If a beeping sound occurs while using the HEATING PAD, please check the connection between the controller and the pad. Disconnect and reconnect in order to ensure a solid contact. Please be sure the pad is unplugged before doing this.

Misc Notes:

1. FIR therapy will accelerate bone repair of a broken bone in half the time of normal healing.

2. FIR technology can penetrate through 2 feet of concrete. This means you can place a FIR heating pad under your bed while you sleep and it will still produce the detox benefits.

3. FIR sauna therapy stimulates your circulatory system like aerobic exercise does without actually working out. One hour of FIR is equivalent to doing 2 miles of aerobic exercise.

4. The heating pad is a great portable infrared unit. It fits in the larger size suitcases and we have traveled with it many times. Unplug the controller from the unit during travel.

5. Any other healing remedy, supplement, detox program that you utilize will be accelerated in its performance when combined with an MPS Global pure far infrared heat therapy.

6. MPS is the only manufacturer that holds the patent for creating pure far infrared heat. All other manufacturers on the market today are combining some other type of wave length like a mid or near range, or they are combining a convection heat source as well. This does affect the quality of the FIR wave length.
