Reductions in body measurements promoted by a garment containing ceramic nanoparticles: a 4‐month follow‐up study

Abstract

The experimental data showed that the occlusive treatment with a garment composed of ceramic particles promoted reductions in body measurements during a 120-day experimental period.

The Influence of Fiber Cross-Section on Fabric Far-Infrared Properties

“…The thermal effect within deep tissues can expand the blood vessels and promote blood microcirculation to eliminate metabolic toxins and waste [6,7]. Therefore, FIR textiles are always considered as an integration of therapeutic and thermal-protective segments, which have been widely used for various kinds of healthcare applications, such as warmth retention [8,9,10], relief from inflammation [11,12], wound healing [13,14], weight loss [15,16] and relief from aching pains [17,18]. Similarly, considering its physical therapy efficacy, the general requirements for FIR products in European and American countries are to assess a subjects’ blood oxygen content and flow velocity through a human wear trial over weeks or months.…”

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Effects of Far-Infrared Emitting Ceramic Fabric Shirts and Control Polyester Shirts on Transcutaneous PO2

“…Three clinical studies have reported that blood flow was increased by infrared exposure from powered IR sources or non-powered ceramics [ 2 , 22 , 23 ] and one clinical study found alleviation of the symptoms of Raynaud's syndrome with ceramic impregnated gloves [ 24 ]. Other clinical studies with topically applied ceramic materials have demonstrated changes in body measurements (fat loss) [ 25 , 26 ], reduced dysmenorrhea [ 27 ], and improved lactation [ 28 ].…”
