遠紅外線是近年來熱門能量醫學領域之一。市場上遠紅外線產品琳瑯滿目,但其遠紅外線發放率大都不高,生物效應極其有限。本研究開發了高效能遠紅外線陶瓷粉末,其成分為多種金屬氧化物之混合物,在生育光線 6–14 ?m 之發放率高達 0.98 以上。實驗顯示此材料具有抑菌效果,可細化水分子團而有助於細胞代謝,促進種子發芽與生長,並可提升茶葉之抗氧化能力,此外,對人體表皮體溫及微循環皆有提升之效果。由這些結果顯示,此遠紅外線材料日後將可廣泛應用於人類日常生活。
Far-infrared ray (FIR) is one of the topics in energy medicine which is hot for the past few years. There are numerous FIR products in markets but their FIR emissivities are almost insufficient and biological effects are quite limited. This study develops high efficient FIR-emitting ceramic powders composed of several metal oxides. The emissivity of this material in life light between 6 to 14 ?m is above 0.98. Experiments reveal this material is antibacterial and it can miniature water clusters. The small water clusters can benefit cell metabolism, germination and growth of seeds and enhance in antioxidant activity of tea leaf. Besides it increase the skin temperature and microcirculation of human bodies. These results show this FIR material can be widely applied in human daily life in the future.
