What is Infratherapy?

What is infratherapy?

Infratherapy is Near-Infrared (NIR) light exposure combined with cardiovascular exercise for health and wellness. I doubt this word has made it into medical dictionaries yet, so don't be surprised if you hear it being loosely used to refer to related things like the use of Infrared light exposure for health without the benefit of exercise, or similar things.

Science has been revealing the benefits of infrared light for a little while now, though I wouldn't say there's much public awareness of it. Have you heard of the health benefits of infrared light, specifically, near-infrared? Please note that I am NOT a medical professional, and nothing entered in this blog should be taken as medical advice. It's a discussion, not a doctor's appointment. That being said, I look forward to writing again.
