TDP stands for Teding Diancibo Pu, in Chinese, which translates to “special electromagnetic spectrum” lamp.
If you’ve been to our clinic, you’ve probably seen these used in the treatment area.
The reason these lamps are so incredibly effective is because there is a mineral plate that has many elements from the earth that sits between the heating element and the body. The lore of this therapeutic heat lamp is that these minerals were discovered in a mine in China where the workers were particularly healthy. The content of that mine’s walls were duplicated in the lamp’s mineral disk.
What we’ve seen clinically is that those minerals seem to infuse into the body, giving a far more intensive therapeutic outcome than just heat. These lamps are used to treat very specific circulation problems in the body. If you have any questions, you can always ask us!

Consistent breath, a little moisture, gentle movement, and permission to let some things go goes a long way.
