The Concept of Onnetsu Therapy Using Far-Infrared Heat Lamp
Onnetsu Therapy is a belief originating from Japanese Moxabustion, that heat is of critical importance to the body, and that a warm body is a living body, and a cold body is a dead body. Onnetsu Therapy helps activate celluar activity to help in blood and body fluid flow and keeps the cells healthy. This results in increased oxygen supply and increased metabolism.
This can be achieved thru traditional Moxabustion, or thru the application of Far Infrared directly with an Onnetsu Device, or indirectly with a Far Infrared heat lamp.
An Onnetsu device is applied over a cloth directly to the body and can deliver Far Infrared waves that can reach 10 inches deep to heat the cold spots of the body. These waves penetrate all layers of the body deeply, into the innermost tissues, muscles, and bone.
A Far Infrared heat lamp can deliver healing Far Infra red waves broadly over large areas of the body, but only 1-2 inches deep. This is perfect when treating a sore back, or for Gi issues or cramps.

The Development of Onnetsu Therapy
Japanese Doctor Madam Tomeko Mitsui (1915-2001) created Mitsui Onnetsu Therapy in 1988. Improving the natural healing ability of the human body and making it immune to diseases while restoring the body’s heat is the fundamental principle of Onnetsu Therapy.
What is Far-Infrared Heat Therapy?
Far Infrared therapy is the use of particular frequencies of heat to improve circulation, immune response, detoxification, cellular regeneration, and overall healing.
The Effects of Far-Infrared Heat Therapy
Infrared is known as the ‘Heating Rays.’ Infrared with the shortest wavelength is called near-infrared, and the long-wavelength is called far-infrared. When you go outside on a beautiful sunny day, and feel like the sun is invigorating your body, it is Far Infrared sunlight that your body is absorbing.
Onnetsu Therapy helps activate molecular exercise to help in blood and body fluid flow and keeps the cells active. This results in increased oxygen supply and increased metabolism.
Moxabustion
Moxabustion is the burning of a refined version of the herb mugwort, either directly or indirectly on acu-points to invigorate the flow of Qi and blood in the body. The bruning mugwort emits Far infrared energy into the body that can help to heal injuries, improve organ function, and improve blood circulation.
Symptoms When Body Temperature Falls Below Average
1C decrease in body temperature hinders your immune system by 30% and basal metabolism rate by 12% (approx.)
98.6F (37°C): Normal body temperature
97.7F (36.5°C): Healthy body, active immune system
96.8F (36.0°C): Body starts to shiver and shake to generate heat
95.9F (35.5°C): Worsen bowel movement, allergy symptoms, autonomic nervous system malnutrition
95.0F (35.0°C): Temperature that allows cancerous cells to multiply easily
93.2F (34.0°C): A person drowning in water with the body at this temperature has only a 50% chance to be resuscitated
91.4F (33.0°C): Hallucination before dying from hypothermia
86.0F (30.0°C): Unconscious state
82.4F (28.0°C): Temperature of a dead body
