Brief summary (from the registry)
Today, a new revolution is underway in the textile industry with the introduction of new technologies that add special functions and properties to fabrics. This innovative revolution will see clothing used not only to protect the body from atmospheric changes or for aesthetic purposes, but also to positively influence health. In this sense, nanoparticles play a key and significant role in this technological evolution as they exhibit exceptional surface properties that allow their effect to be multiplied in comparison to bulky additives and traditional materials. With the development of better technology to deliver pure far infrared radiation (FIR), the benefits of its effects have expanded. The main source of energy needed to power FIR emission from clothing comes from the human body, as it has a higher temperature than the surrounding air. Therefore, energy from the human body is transferred to these ceramic particles, which act as "perfect absorbers," maintaining their temperature at a sufficiently high level and emitting FIR back to the body. At the application level, these fabrics have a wide range of uses, depending on the target of FIR therapy, allowing even in specific conditions to level the concentration of lactic acid, a biological marker associated with cardiovascular diseases and toxins. Other potential benefits include an increase in blood oxygen concentration, improved oxygen and nutrient transport to soft tissues, and muscle relaxation. This potentially prevents contractures while improving muscle tone and alleviating muscle soreness and spasms. This type of tissue approach is a more efficient and less invasive way to provide relief in the area affected by pain, so that it can quickly alleviate muscle pain, cramps, and fatigue, and reduce inflammation.
