Near Infrared Near-infrared light is the closest to visible red light and generates heat. The light used in many restaurants to keep food warm is near infrared. The heat from near infrared can penetrate the skin to a depth of 4 in. (10.16 cm) and might be able to kill cancer. The National Cancer Institute (2011) discussed the use of hyperthermia to treat cancer: Whole-body hyperthermia is used to treat metastatic cancer that has spread throughout the body, which can be accomplished by several techniques that raise the body temperature to 107–108oF, including the use of thermal chambers (similar to large incubators) or hot water blankets. (para. 12) Incubators use near-infrared light bulbs. The National Cancer Institute did not mention near-infrared sauna, but the term thermal chamber does describe a sauna. The ability of these lights to increase body temperature has an impact on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Regarding near-infrared lamp saunas, Wilson (2013) wrote, The sympathetic nervous system moves and keeps the blood congested in the internal organs. The sauna powerfully moves blood to the periphery of the body, so that the body can release some heat at the skin, which is a parasympathetic effect. (p. 1) The constant yin and yang of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system is key to obtaining a balanced ANS. When an individual is stressed, the sympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, and the parasympathetic nervous system becomes passive, creating an imbalance in the ANS. When an individual’s sympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, congestion occurs in the blood flow to the organs. According to Dr. M.
