Auf welche Weise Bio-Infrarot im Körper wirkt, ist noch nicht vollständig verstanden. Erste biologische Untersuchungen an Zell- und Tiermodellen deuten aber an, dass nicht-erwärmendes Ferninfrarot biomodulatorisch wirkt, d.h. die Aktivität und Funktion von Zellen direkt beeinflusst: die Zellatmung wird gesteigert (1,9,10), die Produktion von gefäßerweiternden Botenstoffen (NO) wird gefördert (1,10), Entzündungsreaktionen von Immunzellen werden reguliert (11-13) und dadurch die Wundheilung,
z. B. bei Brandwunden (12), beschleunigt. Autophagie*, ein Mechanismus zum zellulären Stressabbau, wird angeregt (12,14). Diese Effekte entstehen nicht durch eine Erwärmung des Gewebes, sondern vermutlich durch die direkte Anregung von bestimmten Zellbausteinen durch die Bio-Infrarotwellen.
