Have you ever heard of red light therapy? Red Light (620-850 nm) can penetrate through the skin all the way to the cell mitochondria. Light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation can positively impact mood, collagen, testosterone, sexual performance, thyroid function and a host of other parameters. When mitochondria absorb red light, a surge of processes triggers the release of nitric oxide, the upsurge in ATP, and reduction in oxidative stress. . . . . . #photobiomodulation #redlight #redlighttherapy #biohacking #biohacker #biohack #biohacks #selfcare #naturalhealing #nearinfraredlight #atp #oxidativestress #inflamationreduction #mitochondriastimulation (at Bakersfield, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_5U34APfE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s0laq1fysrdr

Combination of with for , and Research done by in conjunction with the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital has shown that red light technology can successfully reduce symptoms experienced by cancer patients, including painful side effects caused from radiation or . Using far red/near-infrared light-emitting devices (called High Emissivity Aluminiferous Luminescent Substrate, or HEALS in this case) has been shown to release long wavelength energy in the form of photons that stimulate cells to aid in . NASA tested whether HEALS could treat oral mucositis in cancer patients, a very common and painful side effect of chemotherapy and radiation, and concluded that 96 percent of patients experienced improvement in pain as a result of the HEALS treatment. Patients received the light therapy by a nurse holding the WARP 75 device, which is roughly the size of an adult human hand. The WARP device was held close to the patient’s face and neck for only 88 seconds daily for 14 days. Researchers stated, “The HEALS device was well tolerated with no adverse affects to bone marrow and transplant patients….The HEALS device can provide a cost-effective therapy since the device itself is less expensive than one day at the hospital.” BENEFITS: * promotes wound healing and * improves in people with androgenic alopecia * help for the short-term treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome * stimulates healing of slow-healing , like diabetic foot ulcers * reduces psoriasis lesions * aids with short-term relief of pain and morning stiffness in people with rheumatoid * reduces some of the side effects of cancer treatments, including * improves skin complexion and builds to diminish * helps to mend sun damage * prevents recurring cold sores from simplex * improves the health of joints in people with degenerative of the knee * helps diminish scars * relieves pain and inflammation in people with pain in the Achilles tendons * treats depression, seasonal affective disorder, and postpartum depression * activates the lymphatic system to help “detoxify” the body * boosts the immune system * reduces cellulite * aids in * treats or neck pain * fights periodontitis and dental infections * cures acne * treats cancer * The combination of red light therapy with near infrared energy is being researched for amazing things such as the reversal of traumatic brain injury, stopping and healing the debilitating effects of stroke and heart attack, and the regeneration of damaged nerves and severed spinal cords. * Visible red and invisible near infrared energy are absorbed by photoreceptors in each cell.

It uses invisible, near infrared wavelengths between 700 and 1200 nm to deliver energy to the cells, stimulating healing and relieving pain. Infrared light therapy has been proven effective by hundreds of studies all over the globe, is 100% natural and has no known adverse side effects. Near infrared light therapy is essentially the same as red light therapy, except infrared energy is invisible, and it penetrates the body deeper than red, reaching deep into soft tissues, muscles, joints, and bone. Near infrared light therapy is where light therapy gets serious. The combination of red light therapy with near infrared energy is being researched for amazing things such as the reversal of traumatic brain injury, stopping and healing the debilitating effects of stroke and heart attack, and the regeneration of damaged nerves and severed spinal cords. While all of that is unfortunately still years away from common practice, the power of near infrared light therapy has already been FDA approved and is available in-home for the relief of chronic pain. As with red light therapy, near infrared light therapy does not mask the symptoms of pain, it encourages the healing of the actual cause of the pain and so, in many cases, after a course of treatment with infrared light, the pain is gone for good. The Wavelengths of Near Infrared Light Therapy Infrared light immediately follows red light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared (IR) light energy is broken down into three groups: Near Infrared, also called infrared A (IR-A). Near IR spans wavelengths 760 to 1,400 nm. Most home therapy devices use these wavelengths. Mid Infrared, also called infrared B (IR-B) – These wavelengths are used in many household electronic devices such as remote controls. Far Infrared, or IR-C– also known as long wave infrared , thermal infrared (thermal-IR). This is the largest part of the IR spectrum, used in infrared saunas. Examples of the wavelengths used in near infrared light therapy. Near-infrared LEDs will appear unlit because their energy is not visible to the human eye. However, they are just as powerful as the red you can see and actually penetrate the body deeper. Effective wavelengths of near infrared light therapy include 700 nm to 1400 nm. The whole range of wavelengths have the same healing and therapeutic effect, the big difference is this: the longer the wavelength, the deeper it penetrates into the body. So, for example, for applications effecting the surface of the skin, red light therapy (620nm-700nm) would be adequate. For the healing of deep wounds or the relief of deep muscle and joint pain, the longer wavelengths of near infrared are more beneficial. 850nm and 980 nm are common. How Does it Work? Near infrared light therapy works exactly the same way red light therapy works. Visible red and invisible near infrared energy are absorbed by photoreceptors in each cell. Once absorbed, the light energy kicks off a whole series of metabolic events, stimulating the body’s natural processes on a cellular level. There is an increase in blood flow, allowing the parts of the body to receive the oxygen and nutrients they need in order to function more effectively. Regeneration is stimulated. Inflammation and pain are reduced. What Kind of Light Do You Need? As with red light therapy, the light source does not matter. Effective near infrared light therapy can come from a low level laser, high power LED, and array of low power LEDs, incandescent, fluorescent or other light source, as long as the proper wavelengths are emitted. Although red infrared light therapy is safe, one should follow the same precautions as for red light therapy before beginning treatment. 2. Red light therapy (RLT) is a controversial therapeutic technique that uses red low-level wavelengths of light to treat skin issues, such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds, among other conditions. In the early 1990s, RLT was used by scientists to help grow plants in space. The scientists found that the intense light from red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) helped promote growth and photosynthesis of plant cells. Red light was then studied for its potential application in medicine, more specifically to find out if RLT could increase energy inside human cells. The researchers hoped that RLT could be an effective way to treat the muscle atrophy, slow wound healing, and bone density issues caused by weightlessness during space travel. You may have heard of red light therapy (RLT) by its other names, which include: photobiomodulation (PBM) low level light therapy (LLLT) soft laser therapy cold laser therapy biostimulation photonic stimulation low-power laser therapy (LPLT) When RLT is used with photosensitizing medications, it’s referred to as photodynamic therapy. In this type of therapy, the light only serves as an activating agent for the medication. There are many different types of red light therapy. Red light beds found at salons are said to help reduce cosmetic skin issues, like stretch marks and wrinkles. Red light therapy used in an medical office setting may be used to treat more serious conditions, like psoriasis, slow-healing wounds, and even the side effects of chemotherapy. While there’s a fair amount of evidence to show that RLT may be a promising treatment for certain conditions, there’s still a lot to learn about how it works, too. How does red light therapy work? Red light is thought to work by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it’s where the cell’s energy is created. The energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage. RLT is different from laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies because it doesn’t cause damage to the skin surface. Laser and pulsed light therapies work by causing controlled damage to the outer layer of the skin, which then induces tissue repair. RLT bypasses th
