I often use a TDP lamp in my clinic. While the patient is resting on the treatment couch with needles in, I place the TDP lamp above them, close to areas of tension to gently warm up the area. Patients find this is a very soothing aspect to the treatment session.
As I use the lamp so often, I thought it would be useful to discuss the many benefits and explain what a TDP Lamp is:
TDP Lamp – What is it?
TDP stands for Teding Diancibo Pu, in Chinese, which translates to “special electromagnetic spectrum” lamp. The difference between simple infrared radiation and the TDP lamp, is that the TDP lamp incorporates a mineral plate that is heated to ionize the trace minerals.
How TDP Lamps Work
- Mineral Plate:The lamp features a special mineral plate coated with essential trace elements.
- Far-Infrared Rays:When heated, the mineral plate emits far-infrared energy, a type of electromagnetic wave similar to those naturally produced by the human body.
Penetrating Heat: This therapeutic heat penetrates deep into the body’s tissues, stimulating biochemical reactions. The absorbed energy from the minerals can promote micro-circulation, boost metabolism, and help the body with self-healing by providing essential minerals.
The Benefits of Using a TDP Lamp
Anybody with muscle tightness, inflammation, or pain can benefit from treatment with a TDP lamp, as mineral lamp therapy can reduce inflammation, calm pain, improve blood circulation, and balance metabolism.
- Pain Relief:Reduces pain, soreness, and muscle tension associated with conditions such as arthritis and joint pain, backache and sciatica, and fibromyalgia.
- Improved Circulation:Stimulates blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues and helping to remove waste products.
- Reduced Inflammation & Swelling:Helps decrease muscle and joint inflammation and swelling.
- Muscle Relaxation:Promotes deep muscle relaxation, which can alleviate stiffness and spasms.
- Enhanced Metabolism:Boosts metabolic processes, which supports the body’s natural healing functions.
- Immune System Support:Helps to strengthen the body’s adjustment and immune functions.
- Improved Sleep:Some users report an improvement in sleep quality.
