STIMCARE Infrared Technology: How Mineral Oxides Work

How Metal Oxides Help Provide Relief: Understanding STIMCARE Technology

Article summary

1. What are infrared-reflecting mineral oxides?

Metal oxides are natural minerals found in certain volcanic rocks. They have a remarkable property: they can capture and reflect the different infrared ranges that our bodies naturally emit.

An ancestral discovery: This property had already been used in Japan for centuries, where bathtubs carved from volcanic rock rich in metal oxides were used to relieve pain.

How do they work? : These minerals act like a mirror, concentrating your infrared rays and reflecting them back to your skin. This concentration of infrared energy naturally stimulates local blood circulation and activates repair processes in your tissues.

Scientific validation: As early as the 1980s, this physical property was the subject of patents, first in Japan and then in Europe, using ground metal oxides to reflect body-emitted infrared radiation. Today, this technology is incorporated into certified medical devices and technical textiles, with research documenting the effects of far-infrared radiation on local microcirculation.

2. How STIMCARE patches use these oxides

STIMCARE patches incorporate more than a dozen carefully selected metal oxides, finely ground (>3 microns) to an optimized concentration of over 50g/m².

Infrared reflection: reflect approximately 95% of the infrared radiation emitted by the body

Effects described in the literature

  • Improved circulation: Infrared stimulates eNOsynthase enzymes, which release nitric oxide, a natural vasodilator.
  • Effects on inflammatory mediators described in the literature (Djuretić et al., 2021)
  • Nerve flow activation: Activation of nNosynthase enzymes that stimulate synaptic boutons, nerve cell connections. 

3. The unique benefits of the STIMCARE patch

✓ Non-invasive: No substance enters your body. The patch uses only your own body heat.

✓ Long service life: An application takes 3 to 5 days to process

✓ Easy to use : No hassle - no need for electricity, recharging or complex handling, unlike traditional hot compression devices.

Competitive advantage: While traditional solutions require the production of artificial heat, STIMCARE intelligently uses and optimizes your natural energy, for a more ecological and sustainable approach.
