The electromagnetic waves constitute different wavelengths of light from which Far infrared (FIR) is beneficial for living cells. Extensive studies and trials have been conducted over the last two decades in multidimensional biological domains to identify its unlimited health benefits. FIR radiations improve the microcirculation of the human body, stimulate cell growth, penetrate through skin tissues non-invasively, create intramolecular vibrations create an overall healthy metabolism, which ultimately affects overall improved cardiac and metabolic activity. This phenomenon is used to explore different pathological conditions to identify their significance in the medical field. In this review, we explored the biological effectiveness and the medical significance of Far infrared radiation (FIR) in murine melanoma Cell Growth, Lymphedema, airborne viruses, Cardiac diseases, Wound healing and burns, Autonomic Activities, Hemodialysis, Allergic Rhinitis, Aesthetic medicine, textiles, and other domains such as obesity and gut microbiota.

“…Demand for functional textiles with heat/cold resistance, water repellency, and good mechanical properties, which are derived from biobased materials, is rapidly growing. Functional textile fabrics that regulate energy flow between the human body and the environment to promote human health and comfort are of great interest to the clothing industry [24]. Temperature regulation of the cold/heat energy between the human body and the environment is usually achieved by coating temperature-regulating materials on the fabric surface [25,26].…”

“…However, some studies have shown that despite compliance with these regulations, some workers may be subject to thermophysiological constraints depending on their age, sex, physical fitness, or state of health [12]. Moreover, these types of measures against thermal stress are sometimes far from being applicable in certain environments such as agriculture [18,19]. Regulations are sometimes very cautious and sometimes overestimate the level of thermal stress, while for heavy work in indoor workplaces, they may underestimate exposure [20].…”

The exposure to extreme temperatures in workplaces involves physical hazards for workers. A poorly acclimated worker may have lower performance and vigilance and therefore may be more exposed to accidents and injuries. Due to the incompatibility of the existing standards implemented in some workplaces and the lack of thermoregulation in many types of protective equipment that are commonly fabricated using various types of polymeric materials, thermal stress remains one of the most frequent physical hazards in many work sectors. However, many of these problems can be overcome with the use of smart textile technologies that enable intelligent thermoregulation in personal protective equipment. Being based on conductive and functional polymeric materials, smart textiles can detect many external stimuli and react to them. Interconnected sensors and actuators that interact and react to existing risks can provide the wearer with increased safety, protection, and comfort. Thus, the skills of smart protective equipment can contribute to the reduction of errors and the number and severity of accidents in the workplace and thus promote improved performance, efficiency, and productivity. This review provides an overview and opinions of authors on the current state of knowledge on these types of technologies by reviewing and discussing the state of the art of commercially available systems and the advances made in previous research works.
