Abstract:
The wavelength of infrared rays,beyond that of red visible light in optical spectre,ranges from 0.76 to 1000.00 μm.In clinic,infrared rays include a near-infrared part(with the wavelength ranging from 0.76 to 1.5μm)and a far-infrared part(with the wavelength ranging from 1.5 to 400μm).The far-infrared rays,having a wavelength ranging from 6 to 14 μm,are critical for human health and lives.The far-infrared rays have many biological functions including extending blood capillary,increasing blood flow,enhancing metabolism and repair,accommodating organism disequilibrium,etc.The main biological effect of far-infrared rays is cell activation which can induce a senes of biochemistry and histochemistry changes of calls.With the help of far-infrared rays,human body can be in a healthy status.The main clinical applications of far-infrared rays include auxiliary diagnosis,softening inflammation and pain.tissue repair,sterilization,tumor depression,rewarming from hypothermia,and so on.Far-infrared rays play active functions on human body through caloric effects.Now they are developed to be applied in partial medical fields.The emphases of the future studies are about the effects of far-infrared rays based on molecular biology researches and about the extensive applications of far-infrared rays in medicine.
