Have you ever had a heating pad used and wondered what it actually does to your body? Or are you curious as to why infrared heat so popular these days among people with muscle and back pain? In this blog, I will explain to you what exactly infrared heat is, why it works differently from, say, the heat of an electric pillow, and how it can support your health.

Pain relief through infrared (heat)?

Infrared is a natural form of heat radiation that warms not the air, but directly your skin and muscles. Our heat products use a special variant: IR-C, or long-wave infrared. This heat penetrates your skin, where it stimulates your circulation and muscle relaxation. This not only feels very pleasant, but infrared pain relief is also a proven health effect.

Why is IR-C different from ordinary heat?

A traditional electric heat pad heats mainly the surface and the air around it. IR-C goes deeper and emits a milder, more even heat. This not only gives you a warm feeling, but also really helps to relax muscles and reduce pain. So enjoy true infrared heat therapy!

What does science say?
Scientific research shows that IR-C heat offers many benefits:

Muscle relaxation: The heat activates special receptors in your skin, relaxing your muscles and reducing stress.

Infrared pain relief: By improving blood flow, it can relieve muscle pain, menstrual pain and lower back pain. Although our pillows are not medical devices, we also receive positive reports from users with osteoarthritis and fybromyalgia.

Faster recovery: IR-C helps drain waste products faster and improves oxygen supply to your muscles, speeding up your recovery after exercise.

Safe and easy to use

Another great advantage of infrared heat is that it is safe for everyday use. Our products have three heat settings, with the highest setting feeling around 45°C on your skin - comfortable and responsible. But even at lower temperatures you already benefit from the effect.

Smart heat distribution for optimum comfort
Our pillows and blankets are equipped with several small heat elements, strategically distributed on one side. This way, we ensure that the heat reaches exactly the right places, without wasting energy. And thanks to the tuned battery, you enjoy that pleasant warmth for a long time. Depending on the product and heat setting, up to 14 hours. So buying an upgrade to your battery is not necessary.

When should you pay attention?
Although infrared heat is a godsend for many people, there are situations when it is better not to use it, such as with open wounds, acute injuries that need cooling, or severe cardiovascular problems. We also advise against use if you are pregnant or (over)sensitive to heat. If you want to use the product and are in doubt, get advice from a specialist.

A natural boost to your well-being

Conclusion: Infrared heat is more than just being nice and warm. It is a safe, natural and scientifically supported way to relax your muscles, relieve pain and promote recovery. Perfect for anyone conscious of their health and well-being.
