Health Benefits - Pion

The first model of an infrared cabin was created In Japan by Dr. Tadishi Ishikawa in 1967. At first, the invention was used solely for medical purposes; however, in 1982 the Infrared sauna was introduced for general public use. Since then its popularity has been growing both in the private sector and the professional one, where its serves doctors and therapists as a tool in conducting treatment.

Rheumatoid patients suffering from the malady in various degrees appreciate the limited air circulation and consistent indoor humidity. Asthmatic patients also welcome these benefits, while allergic persons welcome one more advantage of the infrared heating systems which brings them relief as they breathe air with less dust, pollen, bacteria and mould spores. Another health benefit of infra-heating is related to the ability of the emitted heat waves to penetrate the human body to a greater degree, thus strengthening its immune system and improving its ability to better deal with exposure to electromagnetic smog^*.

It is quite common to live at a home without noticing mould – it can be hiding in dark and inaccessible places, sometimes it gives its existence away by producing a musty odour but in many cases we don’t even detect it. The moment when we start noticing it is the moment we develop allergic reactions, chronic respiratory diseases and deteriorating health. You might have noticed how asthmatics, allergy sufferers or people recovering from some illness or procedure get worse in places with higher prevalence of mould.

But all it takes for the mould to disappear on its own is making the place sufficiently dry and warm. And this process can be rapidly sped up by PION.

The principle on which dehumidifying operates lies in propagation of molecule oscillation - as the molecules within the construction materials of the building increasingly vibrate, their friction also increases, producing heat. The heat that originated right within the building construction material dries up walls from the inside, which is significantly more efficient than drying walls with hot air.

Many types of heating come at a cost of having to put up with noise. You may not notice these disturbing sounds during the day but you can stay assured that a boiler starting up in the middle of the night will wake you up no doubt. Similarly unpleasant are sounds produced by storage heaters. On the other side, PION heating units are absolutely quiet!

In general, rooms heated by PION are usually also cleaner thanks to reduced air circulation: For they do not utilize any fans that could cause whirling of dust, pollen, mites and other types of allergens.

That is why PION is appreciated by those who are allergic to dust *. Another factor that positively contributes to reducing air circulation is the even temperature balance throughout the room with infrared heating (the temperature below the ceiling is only 1 °C higher than at the floor level). Warm air does not ascend and the cold one does not descend as much as we know it from places with conventional heating – that’s why there is substantially less movement of dust particles in PION heated spaces.
