Raynaud's Disease is a vascular disorder that affects blood flow to the extremities, like fingers, toes, nose and ears when exposed to temperatures cold or in response to stress. Raynaud is sometimes called a disease, syndrome or phenomenon. When one is suffering from Raynaud's disease, the arteries that supply blood to the skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas. The narrowing of blood vessels is caused by a brief episode of vasospasm. As result, the skin turns white and blue for a short time. When blood flow returns to normal, the affected areas may turn red and may throb, tingle, burning, or feel numb. Attacks of this disease may last from minutes to several hours and in extreme cases, infections and ulcers may also develop in the affected area.

Far infrared therapy has the effect of promoting blood circulation in the treated area. It also has the effect of relieving vasospasm that restrict blood flow. By comparing the symptoms of Raynaud's disease and the effects of Far Infrared therapy, it can be shown that the treatment is appropriate for Raynaud's disease.

In practice, it has also shown that far infrared therapy is an effective treatment for Raynaud's. In a clinical study conducted by Dr. Gordon and Dr. David Ko Berbrayer at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Science Centre at the University of Toronto, has been shown that far infrared therapy can significantly improve both subjective measures of pain and discomfort associated with Raynaud's disease. The result is published in an article published in August 2002 issue of Alternative Medicine Review under the title "Journal of Clinical Therapeutics."
