This infrared lamp is only intended for use on the body.

Infrared radiation causes warmth to be transported to the human body. The blood supply in the radiated skin is increased and the metabolic turnover in the field of temperature enhanced. The warming effect of the infrared light may accelerate the healing process with some ailments. Infrared light can be used as a supplementary treatment in diseases of the ear, nose and throat and to assist in facial and beauty care, especially in case of blemished skin. However, first ask your family doctor whether application in the individual case is advisable from a medical standpoint. Included in delivery:  • Infrared lamp • These operating instructions
