  18. FDA letterhead ILY claim is indicated for use to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature: for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasm; relieving stiffness; promoting relaxation of muscle tissue; and to temporarily increase local blood circulation where applied.
