Scientific Studies

There have been numerous scientific studies performed on the benefits of Infrared Light and Negative Ion Therapies. Since these therapies have been front line therapies performed in the orient for many years the majority of these studies have been performed by MD’s in Japan, China and the far east. We have cited the following pertinent studies below.
