Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box
(Thermal health device for extending a healthy life expectancy and improving QOL: Heat Expectone Box)
Health / beauty oriented therapy and treatment by means of thermotherapy such as hot spring treatment and bedrock bathing treatment (popularly known in Japanese spa experience) has been known for a long time and it is popular. On the other hand, scientific researches regarded to investigate their effect on human body has began in the 18th and 19th centuries, the recent researches indicates the effectiveness of those treatments. Far-infrared irradiant emission from natural ores, in specific conditions, has already been confirmed, and other physical features are being clarified.
Meanwhile, in Japan, ageing of the population, unlikely found anywhere else in the world, becomes noticeable in the society and causes problems never face to. One of the urgent tasks is to stretch the so-called healthy lifespan (continuation of independence life, not bedridden nursing care life) and improve quality of life (QOL).
Therefore, we developed a heat-X-pecton material from a special processing of a natural ore, which potentially can contribute the health care, and produced a thermal health therapeutic device "Kenko-Jumyo Enshin Box". "The Kenko-Jumyo Enshin Box" can be expected to warm the whole body of a person entering the box and maintain and strengthen health, resulting in maintaining, continuing and improving QOL of independent living.
In addition, empirical data in various fields such as health, pre-illness, medicine, sports, beauty, etc. has been accumulated in field research project using "The Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box" . Currently, a verification research is also underway in collaboration with university medical institutions in the medical field.
1．The characteristic of healthy device called the Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box
1. Apparatus of the Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box
(1) Appearance form: the shape and size like a telephone box
(2) Inside the box: Heat Expectone material developed from an original ore are processed and attached inside.
(3) How to use: sitting on a chair, relaxing, viewing a TV, reading, meditation etc.
Fig.1 The appearance and interior of the Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box apparatus
2. The physical scientific characteristic of the indoor environment of the Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box
(1) Under the ejection of Far infrared rays：wavelength (containing the wavelength of 8-15µｍ required of living body from NASA research report)
(2) Under an anion generation(1,500-3,000 ions/cm3：measured by the instrument tool for an ores)
(3) Radiation dose: the equal count in natural environment
3. The characteristic on working the Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box (comparison with the Sauna Bath)
2. Influence on assumed human body by the Kenko-jyumyo Enshin Box device
We can expect that the Kenko-Jumyo Enshin Box become an useful supporter for making strong body with health and for extending a healthy life expectancy and improving the QOL of elderly people or sick person.
