circulation. The increased blood circulationstimulates the tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand accommodating the increased blood flow.4. Removes Harmful ToxinsWhen toxins are present in our body, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. Thebody's immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease. When far infraredheat is applied, the large water molecules in our bodies that contain toxic gases like sulphur dioxide,carbon dioxide, lead, mercury and chlorine vibrate and are broken down. The encapsulated toxic materialsand gases are then released.5. Improves the Immune SystemThe deep heat raises your inner body temperature, inducing an artificial fever (mild hyperthermia). Fever isthe body's natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as seen in the case ofinfection. This enhanced immune system, combined with improved elimination of toxins and wastes, increasesyour overall health and resistance to disease.6. Negative IonsTherasage Healing Pad features negative ions. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible moleculesare believed to produce biochemical reactions helping to relieve stress (calming), alleviate depression, boostour daytime energy and increase defense against infection
