LifeWave patches are passive medical devices because they are activated by the interaction of the molecular structures in the patches with the body’s own natural incident electromagnetic emissions. LifeWave patches do not generate any energy on their own.
Because of the method of construction LifeWave patches will trap infrared energy when placed on the skin. The molecular antennas contained within LifeWave thermal patches are exposed to the body’s broad spectrum infrared field and passively reflect back into the body only specific narrow band signals. These specific passive infrared signals cause both local thermal changes in the skin and broader thermal changes by activating autonomic nervous system controlled contraction and relaxation of blood vessels.
