In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of bamboo charcoal fabric in a variety of products, including socks. One of the reasons for this interest is the potential health benefits associated with the far infrared rays (FIR) that are emitted from the fabric. In this blog post, we wanted to share a little more about what FIR are and how they may benefit the human body, as well as how bamboo charcoal fabric (like the kind used in our BSBF Socks) can be used to emit FIR in socks.

So, what even are Far Infrared Rays?

In short, far infrared rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that are invisible to the naked eye. They have longer wavelengths than visible light, which allows them to penetrate deeper into the body. FIR are generated by the sun, as well as by certain materials, including bamboo charcoal.

FIR have been studied for their potential health benefits for many years. One of the most well-known benefits of FIR is their ability to improve blood circulation. When FIR are absorbed by the body, they cause the blood vessels to dilate, which allows more blood to flow through them. This increased circulation can help to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, as well as to remove waste products more efficiently.

In addition to improving circulation, FIR have also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. When FIR are absorbed by the body, they can help to reduce inflammation in the tissues, which can be beneficial for a variety of health conditions, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain.

How is Bamboo Charcoal Fabric Used to Emit FIR?

Bamboo charcoal fabric is made by taking bamboo charcoal and infusing it into a fabric material, such as cotton or polyester. The bamboo charcoal is first heated to high temperatures, which activates the carbon and makes it highly porous. These pores are what give bamboo charcoal its ability to emit FIR.

When bamboo charcoal is infused into fabric, the pores in the charcoal allow it to absorb moisture and odors. This makes bamboo charcoal fabric a popular choice for socks and other clothing items, as it can help to keep feet dry and fresh throughout the day. In addition to these benefits, the bamboo charcoal in the fabric also emits FIR, which can provide additional health benefits.

We did it before it was cool.

We invited our unique blend of bamboo charcoal, bamboo, and cotton fabric in 2012, but these days, bamboo charcoal socks are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential health benefits. By emitting FIR, these socks may be able to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and provide other health benefits. Here are some of the potential benefits of bamboo charcoal socks:

• Improved circulation: As we mentioned earlier, FIR have been found to improve blood circulation. By wearing bamboo charcoal socks, you may be able to increase the amount of FIR that your body is exposed to, which could help to improve circulation throughout your legs and feet.

• Reduced inflammation: In addition to improving circulation, FIR have also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. This means that by wearing bamboo charcoal socks, you may be able to reduce inflammation in your feet and ankles, which can be beneficial for conditions such as plantar fasciitis and arthritis.

• Odor control: Bamboo charcoal is known for its ability to absorb moisture and odors. This makes bamboo charcoal socks a popular choice for athletes and anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet. By keeping your feet dry and fresh, these socks can help to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi, which can cause unpleasant odors.

• Improved skin health: FIR have also been found to have benefits for the skin. By increasing blood circulation, FIR can help to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which can promote cell regeneration and improve skin health. This can be particularly beneficial for people with dry or damaged skin on their feet.

• Relaxation: Finally, some people find that wearing bamboo charcoal socks can have a relaxing effect on the
