When the light emitted from sunlight or a heating element is dispersed in the spectrum, infrared is outside the end of the red spectrum, and the shortest wavelength among them is near-infrared. Infrared rays are generally used for industrial and medical purposes because they have a stronger thermal action than visible rays or ultraviolet rays.

In particular, near-infrared rays penetrate much deeper and stronger than far-infrared rays and generate nitric oxide, thereby expanding capillaries and dispersing and discharging wastes, thereby improving the flow of blood, and being well absorbed into cells, causing more than 20 changes in cells to remove toxic substances. By excreting it outside the body, it reduces infection, helps wound healing and repairs damaged cells, and produces nitric oxide to quickly relieve pain.
