What is a TDP lamp?
TDP mineral lamp is a heating device using infrared rays. This comes under the FDA class 2 categories of medical devices. The idea behind this TDP lamp is that the natural processes of healing in the body are accelerated with microcirculation, upon the limited and regulated impact of infrared light.
With the addition of QI (the oriental concept of vital living energy flow into a body) through these infrared rays , this lamp substitutes therapeutically for moxibustion,- the use of mug wort as a traditional medicine in Oriental countries like Korea and Tibet. This is ground to a powder and used in acupuncture needles to heal an ailment. So, instead of using mugwort, therapists are using TDP mineral lamps to give patients suffering from arthritis and body pain some temporary relief.
The invention of TDP mineral lamps can mostly be described as a serendipitous chance analyzed by a sensible person and utilized to help future patients. TDP stands for Teding Diancibo Pu which is Chinese for special electromagnetic spectrums.
Mr. Gou Wenbin invented TDP mineral lamps in 1978 when he heard the story of miners working in a factory of black clay, who though exposed to extreme conditions of heat and cold still managed to show a very low illness rate. This was when the idea of the black clay radiating good far infrared rays beneficial to the body, struck Mr. Wenbin who started to experiment with the clay. And that is how a TDP mineral lamp came into being.
It was shown all over the world in exhibitions and by 1979, 3000 doctors, 250 hospitals, 36 universities, 41 research institutes and 45 graduate schools had decided to research more upon the benefits of this natural miracle. Since then the ideas of therapy done by TDP mineral lamps has not looked back.
Some of the most amazing facts of a TDP mineral lamp treatment is that 30 different animal and human disorders and diseases have been known to be treated effectively with the exposure to far infrared rays emitting from TDP mineral lamps.
35 million people have already benefitted by reducing pain and inflammation, repairing damaged cells, and improving the qi and microcirculation in an aging body. The immunity system of a body also gets stronger and the activity levels of enzymes also get increased, beneficially.
After China patented TDP mineral lamps in 1992, they began to be imported to the US through a company known as Sacred Crane. The China State Medicine Bureau has also given TDP mineral lamps a recognized and approved Medical Apparatus and Instruments Certificate.
Even though this product was patented, there are 23 versions in the market, led by Gou-Gong” manufactured by the CSRI. Export of this brand has been stopped in many us states because of inferior heating elements which had a failure rate up to 50%.
TDP mineral lamps consist of a head, an electronic timer, a straight pole, a base which rotates easily and a spring arm. In the head you will find a plate which can be heated electrically, a reflector of heated rays, an insulator, a wire grill and a plate made of different mineral combinations which include arsenic, titanium, antimony, sulfur, aluminum, boron, calcium, cadmium, barium, cobalt chromium, bismuth, carbon, strontium silicon, sodium, zirconium, tin, magnesium, selenium, potassium, germanium, copper, rubidium, lithium, phosphorus, manganese, , nickel, molybdenum iodine zinc and vanadium.
A combination of these metals in different proportions is bonded upon the mineral plate which is a stable background for the fragile layer of minerals. These minerals show their power when the lamp heated to 860-70 degrees F starts to emit infrared radiation. Treatment means treating your skin to these rays 15-20 minutes a day, a couple of times for a week.
