According to NASA, the Far Infrared spectrum of, 8 to 14 microns, is the only solar energy that promotes life. In many years of scientific research, Japanese scientists created a hand held Far Infrared appliance that omits these microns. It was perfected by Dr. Kazuko Tatsumura and introduced to the USA in 1995. Ancient Japanese concepts work with the fact that unhealthy cells are "cold", below 97.7 F and need to be heated up to 97 to 98 F to create circulation, oxygenation and to have a healthy immune system. In four hundred and sixty BC Hippocrates said "give me the power to create a fever and I will heal any disease". The Far Infrared wand helps to warm up a persons body temperature.

During the procedure the client lies on the belly on a Far Infrared mat while the Far Infrared wand is applied to the spine balancing the Para sympathetic and Sympathetic nervous system. According to a famous immunologist, Dr. Toru Abo, he proved that unless these two systems are balanced the immune system suffers. Using the Far Infrared wand on the spine can balance these two systems. In the second part of the session the client turns over onto their back. The Far Infrared wand is then applied through a cotton sheet on the belly and chest focussing on the elimination organs such as the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, small and large intestines. Afterwards meridian points on the legs and arms are also warmed up while the client lies on their side. Furthermore Birgit will also look for "cold spots" on the body, which are actually experienced by the client as a "Hot Spot". The Far Infrared rays penetrate up to four inches deep into the body. This therapy is completely natural by improving ones own healing power. It is deeply relaxing!

Her combination treatment for a "Optimum Detox" consist of a Far Infrared treatment for a 1/2 hour or an hour before the colonic session. This promotes a gentle and deeply detoxifying experience. Birgit's colonic method is based on the Edgar Cayce teachings applying Castor oil on the belly as well as a gentle colon massage during the entire session. All along the client is lying on the Far Infrared mat. The water used for the colonic is filtered through four filters and can also be oxygenated upon request. Both treatments can be done independently of each other however Birgit has found that the combination of the two are the "Optimum Detox"
