Deep dives
Understanding Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light, notably red and near-infrared, to stimulate biological processes within the body. This modality is based on the belief that since humans have evolved under natural sunlight, which contains these wavelengths, they have developed biological pathways that respond favorably to them. The absence of adequate outdoor light exposure due to modern lifestyles has led to a condition known as 'malillumination,' which is linked to numerous health issues. By introducing red light therapy, individuals can mitigate the adverse effects of a sedentary, indoor lifestyle and promote better mitochondrial health, contributing to overall wellness.
