The Red Light Report

Research: Treating Rosacea, Improving Sleep Quality, & Optimizing Short-Term Memory via Photobiomodulation

On this week's solosode of The Red Light Report, we return to the photobiomodulation research and cover an array of fascinating topics.

We first look into how red light therapy may be able to improve symptoms of rosacea in a mouse model. Secondly, we take a deep dive into a review article that analyzes the research on photobiomodulation for the brain at night, while sleeping, to improve the function of the glymphatic system. Lastly, we cover an article that uncovers some exciting potential between transcranial photobiomodulation for the brain and short-term memory. This is important, as short-term memory is the first to go with neurodegenerative diseases involving the brain.

I hope you find this research illuminating and appreciate the promising implications it has for our health and wellness. Enjoy, learn lots and light up your health! -
