Infra-red energy is known to penetrate tissue to depth of over 2.5cm on animal companions. Of note is that the Infra-red radiant energy output is actually tuned to correspond closely to a companion’s own radiant energy, so that body tissues absorb close to 93% of the infra-red waves that reach the skin.
The tissues in your animal companions’ bodies, in need of an infra-red boost, will selectively absorb infra-red rays. The tissue will only use the infra-red rays in areas where is is needed. After boosting a tissue’s infra-red energy, the remaining rays pass onward harmlessly.
As far Infra-red energy is absorbed, it increases fundamental energy by exciting molecules of various cells. With cells being ‘excited’, blood flow is increased and with it, nutrition is delivered and that literally cleans out the toxins and accumulated fats. Obviously this facilitates and accelerates natural healing and increases cellular integrity. Tissues in our animal companion normally produce infra-red energy for warmth and tissue repair. Not withstanding the objective of keeping warm, tissue production of infra-red energy is also associated with a variety of healing responses.
Exclusively at Petopia, Far Infra-Red Therapy when coupled with our clay pack wraps and Ultrasonic Ozone Spa sessions, are beneficial for treating a broad spectrum of skin conditions often contracted in the tropics, which include:
relief of inflammations and an enhancement of the therapeutic effects of the mud wrap
improvement in flexibility and joint mobility
relief of pain and enhanced join tissus healing
reduction in muscle stiffness and pain
decreased soreness, swelling and numbness
localised warming and improved circulation to numb extremities
Normal metabolism of the skin involves constant cell renewal. Many times, due to a myriad of reasons, the process is interrupted and residual dead skin cells and oil deposits build up, bringing about dandruff-like symptoms and smelly coats. The dead skin cells become a conducive breeding ground for parasites like mites and lice. Oil deposits, on the other hand, will clog pores and hair follicles as well as cause bacterial infestation leading to skin inflammation and various forms of skin disorders.
The solution to preventing such problems lie in ‘effective cleansing’ and not frequent shampooing.
We believe “shampooing” should not be confused with “cleansing”. Instead of mere “shampooing”, Petopia is introducing an alternative approach to achieve effective cleansing; an approach we describe as being immersed “bathing in microbubbles”.
Our animal guests will be bathed in a specially retrofitted tub with water jets, imported from Japan. Once immersed, the swirling lukewarm water will provide a massaging effect to promote blood circulation.
Very fine bubbles (only 10 microns in diameter) will next penetrate deeply into the skin pores to dislodge dirt particles and lift oil deposits to unclog pores and hair follicles. No shampoo is required during the entire process, saving your companion from harmful scrubbing and exposure to harsh chemicals found in most shampoo formulations. This chemical free and safe cleansing option is ideal for companions who are sensitive to even the mildest cleaners.
In our hot and humid weather, our companion are proneto develop smelly coats just a few days after shampoo session. By using our microbubble system to thoroughly remove dirt particles and oil deposits on their skin and coat, you will be able to eliminate the source of odour.
