Home - Formostar Infrared Therapy - Safety Questions

Using far infrared heat for the benefit of the human body is not new:

• Infrared lamps have been widely used for localised treatment of body pain and muscle strains for many years, especially by the Asians.

• Whole body thermal therapy has been used in Germany for 80 years and there is a Japanese Infrared Society that focuses its research on the healing benefits of infrared heat.

• Infrared panels are used in hospitals for premature babies and NASA used infrared heat to maintain performance of astronauts on space missions.

• The Swedish National Institute of Radiation Protection concluded after testing, that infrared thermal systems are safe.

• More recently, vast research has and is being undertaken into cancer and heart treatments combining thermal therapy with other modalities.

The Formostar has been Safety and Compliance tested for Australia and New Zealand and modified for local conditions.
