When we talk about a far infrared heating pad it is the Far Infrared Instant Calmer Healing Pad we are discussing. This unique infrared heating pad features far infrared heat PLUS deep heat penetrating jade stones PLUS an antibacterial, patented material which produces beneficial negative ions.
The Jade stones absorb far infrared heat. This combination of heated jade and far infrared heat penetrates 200-300 times deeper into the body and produces no electromagnetic radiation that other heating pads produce. Its therapeutic effects also last 1.5 times longer than conventional pads.
The Instant Calmer produces negative ions. Positively charged ions are free radicals that weaken the body’s cells so you get sick and age faster. Negatively charged ions have been shown to relieve stress, strengthen the function of autonomic nerves, reinforce collagen, improve metabolism, and strengthen the body’s immune system.
Infrared heat has been found to decrease joint stiffness, relieve pain, relieve muscle spasms, increase blood flow, and increase the extensibility of collagen tissues which becomes important when working with low-force stretching and range of motion exercises.
A regular heating pad does not penetrate as deeply into the body as the Instant Calmer does. Regular heating pads produce electromagnetic radiation and the Instant Calmer does not. Regular heating pads do not produce beneficial negative ions but the Instant Calmer does, and regular heating pads therapeutic effects do not last as long as the Far Infrared Instant Calmer Healing Pad. Now, which heating pad would you rather have?!
