Near-infrared light helps protect against the dangers of mould exposure ...
.. especially at this time of year when humidity is often high and, in the dampness, moulds flourish.

If you have mould in your home, it can be much more than just an unsightly problem. Several types of mould, particularly “black mould” (Stachybotrys chartarum), are detrimental to human health.

Exposure to mould – through inhaling or touching it, its spores or the mycotoxins it produces – can provoke a range of symptoms from mild allergic reactions (e.g. sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes, a skin rash) to more severe reactions (e.g. asthma attacks, shortness of breath, fever, infections and respiratory illnesses). In the most extreme situations, long-term exposure can even result in death.

To avoid problems with mould, you can take steps to reduce moisture in your home and to keep removing any existing mould you discover. You may need professional help.

To deal with health problems arising from mould exposure, near infrared light (NIR) saunas can be highly effective.

Regular use of a NIR sauna optimises your immune system so your body can more effectively combat any exposure to mould, their spores or their mycotoxins. It is also a powerful detoxification tool, supporting your body’s ability to flush out harmful spores and mycotoxins.

Hot summer days and UV

“In the summertime, when the weather is high …” as Mungo Jerry sang, way back in 1970.

Summer’s here. It’s holiday time and when the sun is out, it’s a pleasure to feel its heat on our skin.

As we all now know, there are hidden dangers of too much exposure to strong summer sunlight and its ultraviolet (UV) rays. Ooops, there goes another lobster!

However, the sun’s rays also contain frequencies that mitigate the harmful effects of UV. These are found in the near infra-red (NIR) part of the solar spectrum.

Incredibly, our bodies are designed to absorb and interact with light photons in the NIR range to produce a whole range of beneficial health effects.

For example, within our cells, these NIR photons interact with a photoreceptor in the mitochondria to activate increased production of ATP (cellular energy). Not only does it boost our energy, but NIR also stimulates increased production of melatonin – a powerful antioxidant, up to five times more potent than vitamin C.

NIR exposure creates a reservoir of melatonin within our cells, which can effectively mop up the damaging oxidising effects of UV. It neutralises the negative impact of UV while, at the same time, it doesn’t affect the positive action of UV in creating vitamin D within us. Go melatonin!

Additionally, during the day, the sun’s radiation has a higher proportion of NIR to UV in the early morning and late afternoon, while at midday and during early afternoon, UV predominates. This means that if we’re out and about in the sunlight in the morning and later afternoon, we are exposed to a higher proportion of NIR and we will benefit from increased melatonin antioxidant production in our cells. The morning exposure will prepare and protect us from the higher UV at midday and in the early afternoon, while the late afternoon exposure will repair any damage.

In natural circumstances, we are never exposed to UV without an excess of NIR, conferring natural protection from UV cellular damage. However, if you’re going out to enjoy the summer sunshine, it’s still a good idea to use sunscreen, ideally organic and mineral-based – you can check the ingredients of many products here.

If you can’t get enough NIR exposure where you are or want to know more about the year-round benefits of NIR light saunas, visit www.heatandheal.eu.

Have a wonderful summer, “whatever the weather!”
