The benefits of Far Infrared heat are widely documented and cover many areas including improved blood circulation, detoxification and pain management. 


Pain Management:  The Formostar was initially developed to assist in the relief of pain experienced by arthritis sufferers and improve joint mobility.  Heat is generally accepted treatment for temporary pain relief.  Far infrared heat lamps have been in use for many years, especially in Asia.  Heat, absorbed by the body, can help deaden nerve endings, creating an analgesic effect bringing temporary pain relief.  Promoting blood circulation to affected areas can aid in the healing of muscle and soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, arthritis, muscle spasm and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.

Detoxification:  The skin is the largest organ in the body and it plays a major role in the detoxifying process alongside the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver, and the lymphatic and immune systems.  Many people go out of their way not to sweat, especially women. Air-conditioned buildings, air-conditioned cars, anti-perspirants and body lotions can prevent the body from performing its natural functions as well as clogging up the skin's pores. Sweating is a natural and beneficial process helping clear toxins out of a person's system.  Toxins are both water based (residing in body fluids) and oil based (residing in fat tissue). The heat generated by the Formostar can stimulate the sweat glands and in combination with increased blood circulation can help release built-up toxins and waste trapped in cells and tissues.

Body Fluid Reduction: Formostar's deep heat sessions provide excellent sweat inducing capabilities which can be effective in helping people lose excess body fluids.  People with mild forms of fluid retention around the ankles and feet can use Formostar to target these areas by using the variable wraps on the areas with fluid build-up.  Reducing excess fluids can provide people with a greater level of comfort and mobility.

Skin Conditioning: For healthy skin, pores require cleansing.  Pores may clog up for a variety of reasons and sweating helps the cleansing process helping to improve skin condition and making it more supple.  Promoting additional oxygen enriched blood into areas where there is scar tissue may also aid the skin regeneration process.

Blood Circulation: Many issues that manifest themselves in the body such as arthritis, sciatica, menstrual cramps and fatigue, or outside the body such as psoriasis and acne, can to some degree, be due to poor blood circulation.  Formostar sessions heat the body to aid stimulation of the flow of blood to peripheral areas.

General Well-being: A 50 minute session can help people relieve stress and tension, promoting relaxation and a general sense of well being. 

Increasing Flexibility: Heat can help reduce joint and muscle tightness, aiding movement. Gentle stretching when warm can also help improve flexibility by up to 20%. For a person experiencing arthritis or mobility problems, Formostar heat treatments could be very valuable.
