In electromagnetic spectrum, a certain range less than 0.75μm is called the infrared region, which cannot be detected by the naked eyes, but can be recorded by instrument. The specific classifications of infrared are as follows:
Type | Wavelength |
---|---|
Near Infrared | 0.75 ~ 3 μm |
Mid-Infrared | 3 ~ 6 μm |
Far Infrared | 6 ~ 15μm |
Ultra-far Infrared | > 15μm |
All materials can release infrared rays, and the wavelength of infrared is determined by the material per se. However, the wavelength of the infrared beneficial to people is approximately between 7μm and 20μm. Therefore, it is of great importance that we choose tools and accessories made of materials advantageous to our health. Only in this way can we obtain the maximum results with little effort in medical treatment and health care.
Further studies reveal that Bianstone can raise body temperature by releasing far-infrared. And it is based on the discovery that Bianstone is developed as a useful medical tool.
This Cross-sectional Experimental Design intends to find the effect of Bianstone on body temperature. The researches use infrared thermal imager to take the body temperature of 13 subjects. At the beginning of the experiment, the subjects are required to sit quietly in a room, and the temperature of a certain part of their body is taken. Five minutes later, the temperature of the same body part is retaken. By comparing the two groups of data, we find no statistical difference, indicating that the temperature of the measured body part is stable. In the second part of the experiment, researchers place a Bianstone approximately one centimeter from the skin of the subjects. And after retaking the temperature, they find an average 1°C rise in body temperature (between 0.5°C and 2°C). Increase in temperature varies from person to person. But there exists an obvious statistical difference from the previous results. This suggests that the infrared-scattering of Bianstone can effectively raise body temperature, thus promoting circulation of organic body and helps to bring a speedy recovery.

Researches by Tian Di 2 et al show that the micro-vascular of the nerve endings can be stimulated by directly pressing Bianstone against human body, leading an excitatory effect. By measuring the amount of carbon dioxide released by skin, it is found that the metabolism improves when a Bianstone is pressed against the body. Ultrasonic pulses can help the body fight against inflammation, promote blood circulation and soften fibrotic tissues after an injury, and improve body's microcirculation. The researches also reveal that Bianstone Therapy can promote the metabolism of the meridian points.
