Being a tax advisor is a hard job – Mr. Podlešák spends up to 14 hours at the computer dealing with hundreds of thousands of figures every day. So to relax he goes down to his
workshop in the basement…

The electromagnetic spectrum includes the entire range of radiations, which are measured either as waves or frequencies.
The infrared radiation is usually subdivided into three basic segments based on the wavelength which is measured in microns:
- near infrared radiation (0.076 - 1.5 micrometers),
- middle infrared radiation (1.5 - 5.6 micrometers),
- far infrared radiation (5.6 micrometers - 1 mm).
The invisible light band heats up objects without warming up the air in between. The best example of this might be the sun: Picture yourself on a chilly day as you stand in the sunlight; in spite of the cold air you can still feel its warmth. This warmth comes from the infrared rays which penetrate your body sometimes as deep as several centimetres below the skin. Clearly infrared is safe, friendly and efficient due to its ability to directly heat up objects and not the surrounding air. Approximately 80 % of solar rays fall within the ranks of infrared light. It is, however, important not to mix them up with ultraviolet rays, which are, on the contrary, harmful.
Infrared energy is invisible to the human eye but it is possible to observe it with special cameras which convert heat into visible light colours. The human body also emits heat via long wavelength infrared in the range of 4 to 14 µm. You can test this yourself if you hold your palms close together but without letting them touch: Feel the sensation?
Palm healing, whose origins go some 3,000 years back to ancient China, is founded on the inherent healing qualities of the infrared energy.
Thermal therapy has in fact been employed for hudreds of years for the purposes of improving one’s mental and physical health. However, direct exploitation of this energy for body warming has been made possible not that long ago, by modern technology. In the start, they used it in Germany in the first half of the 20th century, and for the last 40 years is has been quite actively cultivated and researched by doctors and therapists in Japan. As far as Europe and the United States go, the method became recognized as the infrared therapy shortly after year 1980. Subsequently, it was improved for commercial use.
The positive effect of the infrared rays on human health has been documented in quite a detail, and as the infrared therapy keeps growing in popularity, more and more studies are being conducted and published. Regardless of the ongoing discussion regarding the various advantages of infrared heating, its health and economical benefits have been proven beyond doubt. We, in Infraline ltd. are genuinely pleased that it is our company who can introduce PION heaters with all their numerous benefits to the European market, for it is our firm belief that PION represents the very best in the modern infrared technology.
