In this article, we discussed the unique benefits of red and near-infrared wavelengths: how using them together creates a synergy that can amplify the benefits of each wavelength and ensure more comprehensive treatment.
Like plants, people are designed to take in a full spectrum of light from the sun. Our modern lifestyle has removed natural exposure to sunlight and replaced it with blue-rich indoor lighting and digital screens. We can help bring ourselves back to natural order by “supplementing” our light exposure with Red and Near Infrared light wavelengths.
While practiced and researched in a wide variety of health and wellness areas, red light therapy produces powerful light energy that penetrates into the tissue to support healthy cell formation, renewal and function, notably intended to facilitate healing. When applied to Herpes, the effects of red light therapy are even greater, considering how sensitive this condition is.
The light promotes energy production in your body. The energy factories in the cells, the mitochondria, do not all function equally well. The older we get, the less energy we have. The light intervenes on that downward movement. It provides enormous input to the mitochondria, which then do their work a lot better and then produce more ATP, the energy on which we run.
