A: Absolutely! Far infrared light energy is beneficial and not at all damaging to the body unlike Ultra Violet, X Rays or Microwaves. Far infrared energy is everywhere and even produced by our own cells, emanating from our skin and the palms of our hands. Far infrared has been researched and used in medical practices for over a hundred years. Many maternity wards in hospitals use far infrared lamps to warm newborn babies. Sports medicine has long accepted and used far infrared to promote healing of sprains and strains. NASA has also concluded after lengthy trials in the 1980's that Far infrared therapy is the best way for astronauts to maintain cardiovascular fitness on long space flights.
