Certain heating pads have been marketed to provide "far infrared" therapy, which is claimed to offer deeper penetration. However, the infrared radiation emitted by an object is determined by its temperature, following the Black-body radiation law. Therefore, all heating pads emit the same type of infrared radiation if they are at the same temperature. Higher temperatures will result in greater infrared radiation, but caution must be exercised to avoid burns.
