Absinthe Therapy
The fusion fabric of advanced ice silk fibers embedded with mugwort particles, combined with a unique process to embed tourmaline, allows these shorts to release thujone and negative ions. The combination of Far Infrared Therapy and Mugwort Therapy offers various benefits, including pain relief, muscle relaxation, and inflammation reduction in different areas of the body.
Prolonged use of shorts made from mugwort fibers has been observed to prevent and address health issues such as inflammation, cellulite, swollen lymph nodes, edema, gynecological conditions, and even contribute to the prevention of cervical cancer.

Micro-vibration massage is a technique that uses small, high-frequency vibrations to stimulate the skin and deeper tissues. In recent years, it has gained widespread attention in the fields of weight loss and body shaping. By applying localized vibrations to the body, it promotes blood circulation, increases metabolism, and facilitates fat breakdown. The following are the effects of micro-vibration massage:

1. Promoting Blood Circulation
Micro-vibration massage stimulates the blood vessels and lymphatic system with frequent, mild vibrations, thereby increasing overall blood flow. This helps deliver oxygen and nutrients more effectively to the skin and deeper tissues, while also accelerating the elimination of waste and toxins. Improved blood circulation can promote the breakdown of fat cells, aiding in fat loss.

2. Stimulating Fat Breakdown
Micro-vibration massage can stimulate fat cells and increase the release of fatty acids. Research shows that vibration massage accelerates fat metabolism, particularly by stimulating fat cells to convert stored fat into usable energy. This helps reduce fat accumulation, especially in areas where fat tends to accumulate, such as the abdomen, thighs, and hips.

3. Accelerating Metabolism
By promoting overall blood circulation and stimulating the muscles, micro-vibration massage can enhance the rate of metabolism. This not only helps burn fat but also accelerates calorie consumption, contributing to weight loss. Increasing metabolic rate is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight in the long term.

4. Improving Lymphatic Detoxification
Micro-vibration massage also affects the lymphatic system. It accelerates the flow of lymphatic fluid, helping to eliminate waste, toxins, and excess water from the body. In this way, micro-vibration massage helps reduce edema and improve body shape, making the body appear less swollen and more toned.

5. Reducing Edema and Slackness
Micro-vibration massage is effective in reducing body edema, especially in areas prone to swelling, such as the legs and abdomen. The reduction of edema can make the body appear more refined and firm, while also alleviating discomfort caused by varicose veins or lymphatic edema.

6. Shaping and Firming the Skin
Micro-vibration massage can also promote collagen production and increase skin firmness, helping to sculpt the body. It stimulates both the skin surface and deeper muscles, improving the elasticity and tightness of the skin, and helps reduce local fat buildup and sagging.

7. Relaxing Muscles and Relieving Pain
Although the primary goal of micro-vibration massage is fat reduction, its relaxing effects should not be overlooked. The gentle vibrations can relieve muscle tension and reduce pain caused by exercise or daily stress. Muscle relaxation helps improve exercise performance, thereby contributing to weight loss.

Far infrared energy is widely used in the beauty and weight loss fields, and many studies and practices suggest that it may have a significant effect on liquefying fat. Far infrared (FIR) is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength that can pe*****te the skin layers and reach the body's tissues. It is sometimes used to promote metabolism and fat burning. The following are the effects of far infrared on liquefying fat:

1. Promoting Blood Circulation
Far infrared can improve overall blood circulation, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, which helps enhance metabolism. Enhanced blood flow helps fat cells break down and convert more effectively into energy.

2. Accelerating the Metabolic Process
Far infrared energy can pe*****te the skin and heat the subcutaneous tissues, raising the body's temperature. This heating effect stimulates the body's metabolism, accelerating fat oxidation, which in turn helps break down and eliminate fat.

3. Stimulating Fat Cells
Some studies suggest that the thermal effect of far infrared can stimulate fat cells, increasing the release of fatty acids. This helps in the liquefaction and breakdown of fat, reducing fat accumulation.

4. Promoting Detoxification
Far infrared helps to expel toxins and waste products from the body through the skin. By enhancing the activity of sweat glands, far infrared promotes sweating, which helps the body release excess water and toxins, potentially aiding in the reduction of fat accumulation.

5. Reducing Fat Accumulation
Research shows that far infrared can inhibit the formation of fat cells, reducing fat storage. This effect is related to its promotion of blood circulation and metabolism.

6. Relieving Edema and Fat Accumulation
Far infrared can help reduce edema in the body, particularly in conditions like lymphatic edema and leg swelling. By reducing edema, the body appears more toned, and fat accumulation is less noticeable.

When the body requires energy, it breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which are then circulated and utilized by muscles and other tissues. If the body takes in more energy than it expends, the surplus energy is converted into fat and stored in fat cells, resulting in weight gain and the buildup of fat. As women age, they may observe a rise in belly fat, even without experiencing weight gain. This occurrence can be attributed to diminished circulation and a slowdown in metabolism that typically accompany the aging process.
