Instructions for use

This infrared lamp is only intended for radiating the human body.
Infrared radiation causes warmth to be transported to the human body. The blood supply in the radiated skin is increased and the metabolic turnover in the field of temperature is enhanced. The mode of action of infrared light encourages the body to heal; healing processes are thus assisted in a specific area. Infrared light can be used as a parallel treatment in diseases of the ear, nose and throat and to assist in facial and beauty care, especially in case of impure skin.
However, first ask your family doctor whether application in the individual case is advisable from a medical standpoint.
