Long-Wave Home Heating — Thrombosis Prevention!

In today’s world, where sedentary lifestyles and stress have become the norm, thrombosis prevention is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Thromboses and related conditions (heart attacks, strokes, venous thromboembolism) are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to WHO and AHA data (2022–2024), cardiovascular diseases, a significant portion of which are thromboses, claim approximately 18–19 million lives annually (about 1 in 4 deaths globally).

But did you know that long-wave infrared heating, like Bilux systems, can be an effective prevention tool? It improves blood circulation, dilates blood vessels, and reduces inflammation, making your space not only warm but healthier. Let’s dive into the science, debunk myths, and look at visual evidence of the effect.

In comments under our videos, alarming phrases often appear:
“Infrared radiation clots blood!”
“Thins the brain!”
“You can’t stay under the panels for long — it’s harmful to health!”

These fears are understandable — the word “radiation” is associated with radioactivity or UV rays. But long-wave infrared heating (like Bilux) operates in a completely safe range (wavelength over 5 μm), close to natural human body heat and sunlight. Moreover, modern studies show that it improves blood circulation and can serve as thrombosis prevention.

Let’s examine the science and debunk the myths.

Myth: “Infrared clots blood and thins the brain”

This is confusion with short-wave IR (which can overheat at excessive intensity) or UV/ionizing radiation. Long-wave IR (far-infrared, FIR) acts gently: penetrates the skin 2–4 cm, warming tissues softly like sunlight. It stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production, which dilates vessels, improves microcirculation, and reduces clot formation risk.

Vessel dilation from long-wave IR (like Bilux) is a benefit, not a risk, for most people, including hypertensives and heart patients (with moderate use). Facts:

• Vasodilation improves blood flow, lowers pressure, and reduces heart load. Studies (e.g., Masuda A. et al., 2015; Lin C.C. et al., 2019) show regular FIR lowers systolic pressure by 10–20 mmHg in hypertensives, improves endothelial function, and reduces vessel inflammation.
• Similar to a warm bath or sauna — recommended by cardiologists for prevention (lowers risk of heart attacks/strokes).

Limitation: In acute crises or severe conditions — consult a doctor (as with any heat). But Bilux is gentle (skin temperature ~30–35 °C), without sharp changes.

No study found negative effects on the brain or clotting with moderate use (as in long-wave infrared home heating like Bilux).

Science says: Long-wave IR as thrombosis prevention

Numerous studies confirm that long-wave IR improves circulation and reduces thrombosis risk:

• “Red Light Therapy May Reduce Deadly Blood Clots” (University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, 2025) showed long-wave red light reduces clot formation in mice 5-fold and improves endothelial function in humans, reducing inflammation and platelet activity.
• “Red Light Therapy in Thrombosis and Hemostasis” (2025) describes how IR therapy suppresses vessel inflammation, reducing thrombosis risk via nitric oxide release.
• “Far Infrared Therapy Inhibits Vascular Endothelial Inflammation via the Induction of Heme Oxygenase-1” (2008, updated 2025) shows FIR blocks platelet-von Willebrand factor interaction, preventing clot formation.
• “Far-infrared radiation and its therapeutic parameters: A superior alternative for healing in regenerative medicine” (2024) notes FIR increases blood flow by 70% in wound areas, stimulating VEGF and improving insulin sensitivity — useful for thrombosis prevention in diabetics.

These effects make Bilux not just heating but a health tool: regular use improves microcirculation, reduces blood viscosity, and prevents stagnation. It’s not a medical device, but a positive side effect of comfortable heating — cardiovascular prevention.

Where Bilux is most effective

Bilux is especially effective in spaces with ceiling height over 4 meters, where traditional convection loses heat to stratification (warm air rises). These include:

• Schools and auditoriums — large classrooms and halls with high ceilings.
• Hospitals and medical centers — wards, corridors, lobbies.
• Offices (especially open-space and loft offices).
• Loft housing — trendy apartments in converted industrial buildings.
• Gyms and fitness centers — high training halls.
• Workshops, warehouses, production facilities — industrial spaces with large volumes.

In such conditions, surface IR heating saves 30–70%, provides comfort without dust/noise, and creates a healthier microclimate (improved blood flow).

Debunking myths: “Thins the brain” or harms health?

Many fear IR heating due to myths like “thins the brain” or “clots blood”. This is untrue — long-wave IR is safe:

• The “brain thinning” myth stems from confusion with short-wave IR or sauna myths. Study “Heat From Sauna On The Brain: Beneficial Or Detrimental?” (2022) shows properly designed IR saunas do not directly heat the head but improve brain blood flow without harm.
• “Verify: Infrared thermometers are not going to harm your brain” (2020) and “5 Myths Of Infrared – Debunked” (2025) refute: IR does not affect the pineal gland or brain like a laser, but improves circulation without risk.
• “Is Infrared Heating Hazardous To Your Health?” (2025) confirms: no studies show FIR harm — on the contrary, it benefits circulation, immunity, and heart.

People worry due to “radiation” associations, but this is thermal radiation like sunlight — safe for prolonged exposure. Bilux does not directly heat the head but distributes heat evenly.

Visualizing Bilux effect: Images from studies

To clearly show how Bilux improves blood flow, here are links to diagrams from studies (thermographic images):

• Thermogram of blood circulation before/after IR therapy — shows how IR increases vessel temperature, improving flow (from “Thermal images used to visualize blood vessels”, 2018).
• Diagram of blood flow in vessels under IR — visualization of increased blood perfusion after red light (from “In Vivo Characterization of a Red Light-Activated Vasodilation”, 2022).

These images illustrate how Bilux stimulates blood flow, preventing stagnation and clots. Living under long-wave FIR heating (like Bilux) has a beneficial effect on circulation similar to light exercise, but with cumulative and constant impact.

Conclusion: Bilux — a warm home and healthy vessels

Long-wave Bilux heating is not only coziness but an investment in health: thrombosis prevention through improved circulation, without risks to the brain or body. Forget myths — choose science and comfort. Order a calculation for your home at bilux.ua and experience the heating revolution!
