MIGUN Bed

MIGUN Jade Thermal Accupressure Massage Bed

Benefits tot he Human Body Combining Far Infrared Heat, Massage, and Accupressure with Jade

When the tissues of the human body are heated, lengthened throught he application of accupressure massage, and held in a certain position for at least 10 seconds repeatedly, the tissues learn to stabilize in the lengthened position. If you repeat the application for at lease 20 sessions, the new lengthening will "set."  People suffering from back injuries, lower back pain, and nerve impingement in the spine can benefit from the combination of Far Infrared Heat (FIR), massage and accupressure to the back.

Because heating tissues increases blood flow in the same way that exercising does, athletes are using FIR in their warmup routines to increase flexibility.  Heating one area of the body produces vascular dialations in distant body areas. FIR decreases stiffness and swelling in joints and connective tissue and has been shown to reduce pain by direct action on both free nerve endings and perepheral nerves.  FIR heat may actually produce endorphins, the body's natural pain killers.  It kills organisms like bacteria and parasites and attracts calcium into cell membranes, for healing. 

People generally seek massage to relieve stiffness, tension, and anxiety.  Stressed muscles block proper intake of oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation which builds up toxins in the  muscle tissue.  Massage reduces stress, thereby improving memory function.  Deep tissue massage helps break up and eliminate scar tissue and releases chronic patterns of physical tension.  As toxins release, blood and oxygen circulate more fully through the body.  Massage also calms the central nervoius system and helps with fibromyalgia, arthritis, and muscle strains to bring a sense of well-being and ease. 

One of the health benefits to the West is Eastern medicine's understanding of bio
electric pathways in the body called meridians.  Finger pressure on the acupressure points relieves the buildup of excess energy that can adversely affect the functioning of organ systems like the heart, lungs, and gall bladder.  For thousands of years, jade has been known in Oriental Medicine as a healing stone.  When heated, jade emits negative ions that are essential for the body's natural anti-aging system.  Combining jade and far infrared heat with massage and acupressure, within a therapeutic program brings positive results such internal harmony and a return to wellness.
Migun Massage Bed infrared heat chiropractic release
Migun Massage
The MIGUN bed was developed in Korea, using techniques from Japanese shiatsu, Korean Chuna and chiropractic, thus combining the principles of acupuncture, muscle heat therapy and massage.  It is gaining use a an alternative therapy and has been the subject of several studies which led to its FDA approval.   The MIGUN has been gaining use in the last decade as a massage bed, with a chiropractic effect, a detoxification effect and a restorative effect for most users. The bed can be used daily and the overall positive results vary from person to person.  Using MIGUN's patented technology, the bed and MIGUN mats generate far infrared rays, increasing blood circulation, the lymphaic system, metabolism, boost the immune system, emit negative ions, neutralize harmful electromagnetic waves and melt away stress and muscle strain.
Carved Jade Infrared Heat Roller Pad
Carved jade massage rollers infrared heat
This pad of carved jade emits infrared heat and is exactly like the "rollers" that run along the back sideof the body when one rests on the bed. Some people want the positive effects of these rollers for certain areas along the front side of the body, so there are two pads like this that can be placed on areas of need/interest.
   Principle Effects of Regular Use of MIGUN Jade Thermal Accupressure
                                            Massage Bed

Since 1988 MIGUN users have reported improvement from kidney,prostate, heart and liver diseases, digestive tract and nervous system disorders, PMS, constipation, asthma, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, high and low blood pressure, aching shoulders, numb hands and feet, headache, sleeplessness, arthritis, gastritis, depression, back and spinal alignment issues, pain issues, hip displasia, edema, circulation issues, and numerous other life challenging issues.

For the past 15 years six major hospitals in China and Korea and the University of California at Irvine have performed major clinical trials and extensive studies onthe health benefits using the MIGUN. These studies show an average of 90.2% improvement from chronic pain around muscle and bone structures, with no undesirable side effects. 

Our circulatory system of nerves, blood vessles and lymph nodes are all connected through the spine.  Our spines need to be strong and flexible in order to enjoy good health. Regular 30 minute sessions on the MIGUN strengthen the circulatory system, which strengthens the immune system.  All of us can benefit from bringing balance and harmony to our aging bodies. 

MIGUN's combination of accupressure and far infrared heat:
     - warms blood vessles, improving circulation and reducing cholesterol
     - cleans the blood by dissolving dirty blood lumps around the spine
     - helps generate new blood from bone marrow
     - accelerates the recovery process of a damaged/misaligned spine
     - eases pain throughout the body
     - boosts energy levels in the body
