Heat Lamps – A Versatile Aid for the Home

Have you heard of heat lamps and wondered whether it is worth buying one? Below you will find some key information about heat lamps.

Heat Lamps for Non-Medicinal Treatments

Today, heat lamps are used in many households and for non-medicinal treatments of a wide range of complaints. Their origins lie in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which identified a special electromagnetic spectrum known in Chinese as “Teding Diancibo Pu” (TDP) and developed it for therapeutic purposes. TCM holds that the human body responds positively to heat radiation and that biochemical processes in tissue take place more quickly.

TDP lamp: These lamps use special plates containing around 33 different minerals that are also found in the human body. At a specific temperature (around 280°C), these minerals produce electromagnetic waves that generate heat in deeper layers of the body. TCM research has concluded that this makes TDP particularly suitable for medical use, as its spectrum corresponds to the electromagnetic waves of the human body and is therefore said to provide optimal absorption.

Infrared lamp: These heat lamps use infrared rays. They are part of the invisible light spectrum and penetrate several millimetres beneath the skin, where they generate heat. Three types of infrared rays are distinguished:

  • Infrared A (IR-A): wavelength 780 to 1,400 nm
  • Infrared B (IR-B): wavelength 1,400 to 3,000 nm
  • Infrared C (IR-C): wavelength 3,000 nm to 1 mm

What Are Heat or Infrared Lamps Used For?

They may be used preventively, therapeutically or simply for relaxation. If you wish to use them for other complaints, please consult a doctor. Heat lamps may be particularly suitable for people with:

  • Muscle and joint complaints
  • Colds or bronchitis
  • Inflammation
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatic conditions
  • Abdominal pain
  • Wellbeing and relaxation

Application and Effect

For use, direct the heat towards the area you wish to treat. Follow the instructions in the manual for proper use. In both cases, the heat causes the blood vessels in the skin to widen, promoting circulation. It also improves metabolism and therefore the supply of nutrients to cells. The resulting faster transport of nutrients helps the body remove substances produced during inflammation and supports healing.
A heat lamp can be used for both treatment and prevention. In TCM, heat lamps are also used in wellness settings. Their range of uses is therefore broad, and they are well suited to home use.
