Abstract: It is well known that heat therapies, including Finnish sauna, have various health advantages and thus long been performed worldwide since ancient time. Recently, we focused on physical nature of ceramic, which emit far-infrared ray upon heating. Accordingly, we developed ceramic beads, whose electromagnetic wave profiles are almost identical to those of a black body, a perfect far-infrared radiator. A bathtub, equipped with computerized hot water circulation system, was first filled with the ceramic beads. Those beads in the bathtub were heated by circulating hot water at 50  Ž which was drained out thereafter, and then a bather was laid in a supine position and covered with the heated ceramic beads in depth of 5-10 cm except the facial-cranial region and sandbathed for 15 minutes. In this minireview, we briefly overview the physiological response to the far-infrared sandbathing and the immune impacts. Finally, some discussion was done for the logical and mechanical basics and future therapeutic possibilities.
