Who can use KOMEDA's thermal system?

Virtually everyone from all walks of life, except pregnant women and people with Multiple Sclerosis, Systematic Lupus Erythematosus and Adrenal Suppression, people with prescription drugs, recent acute joint injury, surgical implants, silicone implants, silicone prostheses, female currently having her menstrual flow, and people who are prone to hemorrhage (hemophiliacs).
 
Should I seek physician if I would like to use KOMEDA's Infrared Thermal System?

Yes, especially:

1. person who is currently using prescription drug should consult your doctor for possible changes in the drug's effect due to infrared interaction,

2. person with a recent, acute joint injury, until the hot and swollen symptoms have subside,

3. person with surgical implants of metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants as they generally reflect the infrared rays and may not benefit from infrared therapy or may experience pain near any implants,

4. person with silicone implant or silicone prostheses for nose or ear replacement as silicone absorb infrared heat. Although silicone melts at over 200 degrees Celsius, it is best if you consult with a representative of the product manufacturer to be certain,

5. female who is having her menstruation may experience increased menstrual flow as a result of the infrared heat. She can choose to continue with a session or simply avoid any infrared session until the end of her menstruation,

6. person who is predisposed to hemorrhage (hemophiliac) as any type of heating would induce vasodilation that can lead to the tendency to bleed,

7. pregnant woman,

8. person with Multiple Sclerosis, Systematic Lupus Erythematosus and Adrenal Suppression.

 
Should I drink water before or after a session?
Yes, you should. Drinking water before and after a session allow your body to stay hydrated and replace your bodily water that you have sweat out during the session.
 

Should I change my dietary habit once I start to use Komeda's thermal system?

Yes, in order to stay healthy. We recommend that you include multi-vitamin in your diet, plus unprocessed and lowfat food, fruits and vegetables especially those that are leafy green and yellow in colour and drink more water. .
 
What else can be done to stay healthy while using Komeda's thermal system? ?
We recommend that you change your diet to include multi-vitamin, lowfat and unprocessed food, leafy green and yellow fruits and vegetables, quit smoking and avoid excessive drinking.
 
Can a person above 60 years old benefit from Komeda's thermal system?
Yes. As people above 60 years old are unable to exercise vigorously compared to younger age groups, their cardiovascular system are not as strong as people below 60 years old. Regular use of Komeda's thermal system can be an effective means of cardiovascular conditioning, burning of calories and the alternative to replace the more demanding forms of exercise.
 
What is a calorie?
A calorie is a measure of energy expenditure.  The calories referred to in diet and exercise are kilocalories (kcal) - 1000 of the calories referred to in science labs for measuring chemical reactions.
A pound of fat stores 3500 calories (kcal).  To lose a pound of fat a week a person must eat approximately 500 fewer calories (kcal) per day than he/she expends. The range of daily calorie burning is from 1600 for a sedentary woman or older people to 2800 for active men, very active women and teenage boys. Walking expends approximately 100 calories per mile for a 150 pound person.
 
What is "resonant absorption"?
Human body natural resonant frequency ranges from 8 to 15 microns. Far-Infrared Rays resonant frequency ranges from 4 to 1,000 microns. As our body is of Far-Infrared Rays' intrinsic vibration frequency, our body is able to absorb the energy from Far-Infrared Rays. Consequently, the energy amplify our body's molecular vibration, thus generate heat and result in resonant absorption. In our skin, the continuous vibration of our body's molecule increases our dermis temperature, enlarges our blood vessels, stimulates blood circulation and activates metabolism in tissues and cells.
 
What is infrared and specifically Far-Infrared Rays?
Infrared is a form of invisible electromagnetic radiation that exists between the wavelengths of 0.76 micron to 1,000 microns(between microwave and visible light wave). Infrared ray is a low frequency and low energy radiation that provides us the essential heat to keep us warm. It is further divided into Near, Medium and Far-Infrared Rays. Near, Medium and Far-Infrared Rays ranges from 0.76 to 1.5 microns, 1.5 to 4 microns and 4 to 1,000 micron respectively. Extensive biological research has shown that Far-Infrared Rays are the safest and most beneficial to human body because of its capabilities to provide us its therapeutic and tissue regenerative properties when we absorb the energy.
 

What is the difference between the sun's infrared ray and the infrared rays from Komeda's thermal system?

Apart from infrared ray, the sun also emits radiowaves, microwave, ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma rays. Although x-rays are completely absorbed by our atmosphere and gamma rays have short wavelengths to hardly reach the Earth, overexposure to sunlight may cause varying degrees of sunstroke, heat stroke or sunburns and symptoms such as headache, undue fatigue or irritability. Ultraviolet radiation in chronic sun exposure may also cause the development of impending cellular death, premature aging, skin wrinkle and Basal cell carcinoma (BCC - the most common form of skin cancer). Moreover, the amount of Far-Infrared Rays available for health is reduced as it is being absorbed by the other living organism, ocean, buildings and manufactured objects.

To address this issue, Komeda combines its research and technological resources to build an integrated thermal system that operates using Far-Infrared Rays. The thermal system is also designed with numerous functionalities for personal use and has achieved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification and Medical Validation to ensure that its materials, products, processes and technology are fit and effective.
 
What are the toxins excreted during a thermal session?
Non-water portion such as cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, cosmetics, toxic heavy metals (lead, nickel, copper, zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium, kalium, sodium, cadmium) sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid.
