⚠️ Cautions / Potential Harms of Far Infrared Light Therapy

  1. Overheating and Dehydration
    • Prolonged sessions in FIR saunas or using FIR devices can lead to excessive body heating and dehydration.
    • Tip: Stay hydrated and limit session time to 15–30 minutes, especially for beginners.
    • ✅ Reference: Beever, R. (2009). Canadian Family Physician, 55(7), 691–696.
  2. Not Recommended for Certain Medical Conditions
    • People with cardiovascular conditions, unstable blood pressure, or those who are pregnant should consult a healthcare provider before use.
    • FIR may cause blood vessel dilation, which can be risky for some.
    • ✅ Reference: Imamura, M. et al. (2001). Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 38(4), 1083–1088.
  3. Skin Sensitivity or Burns (Rare)
    • Though rare, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or, in rare cases, superficial burns if devices are faulty or misused.
  4. Medication Interference
    • FIR can influence circulation and heat distribution, which may affect how certain medications behave in the body—especially blood pressure or heart medications.
  5. Risk for People with Metal Implants
    • FIR may heat metal implants (like surgical hardware), potentially causing discomfort.
