it says that the fabric reflects body heat as unfired waves which causes all sorts of good things but I don't get how it does that. Can someone explain?

There's ceramic fibers woven into the padding in the wraps (or blanket linings, etc.) that reflects the heat produced by the body back into the body (kind of like a mirror bounces light rays back). This reflected heat increases circulation in the area and therefore reduces swelling and inflammation because the circulation flushes out all the bad stuff. We've used the back on track no-bows for a couple of horses with annular ligament issues with quite a bit of success. You can't use poultice or most linaments under them - only sore-no-more, because of the reflected heat - sore no more doesn't blister. You also shouldn't use them continuously for a long period of time as increased heat for a long period of time can be detrimental to the injury.
Hope this helps!
