'Mechanisms of the Anti-inflammatory Effects of Photobiomodulation'

 

Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology studied Photobiomodulation (PBM), red and near-infrared light, and its ability to stimulate healing, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation. One of the most reproducible effects of PBM is an overall reduction in inflammation, which is particularly important for disorders of the joints, traumatic injuries, lung disorders, and, in the brain. PBM has been shown to reduce markers of M1 phenotype in activated macrophages. PBM can reduce inflammation in the brain, abdominal fat, wounds, lungs, spinal cord. Read more >

Recent Clinical Study - Red Light Improves Declining Eyesight

 

The Institute of Ophthalmology of the University of London has recently proved that red light improves the declining eyesight for individuals over 40. Just 3 minutes of red light of 670nm a day for 2 weeks showed significant improvement. Read the complete study published 6.29.20 here > 

 

Pain and Inflammation Management​

 

The red light spectrum has amazing anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving qualities. People with arthritis, joint, and all chronic pain, injuries, MS, fibromyalgia are excellent candidates for this integrative treatment. Red light is successfully used for inflammatory conditions like bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, and pain control for low back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis & golfer’s elbow, post-herpetic neuralgia, and more. Light therapy is a safe alternative to any medications for pain management.

Immune Support, Reduced Side Effects of Cancer Treatments

​​

Red light therapy has been shown to positively affect skin cells through the regeneration of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and modulation of immune cells (including mast cells, neutrophils, and macrophages) all found within skin tissue.

Research done by NASA 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 by radiation or chemotherapy. 

NASA tested whether red light 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 an improvement in pain as a result of the red light treatment. Researchers stated, “The red light device was well tolerated with no adverse effects to bone marrow and stem cell transplant patients….The red light device can provide cost-effective therapy” 

Similar red light technology is also now being utilized for the treatment of pediatric brain tumors, slow-healing wounds or infections, diabetic skin ulcers, and serious burns.

Reduced Depression, Insomnia, and Fatigue. Energy Management

 

Red light has been shown to be naturally energizing and correlated with improved moods by increasing self-confidence, positivity, joyfulness, laughter, mindfulness, awareness, and sensory stimulation. While results vary from patient to patient, there’s a reason to believe that red light has mental and emotional perks in addition to physical benefits.

 

Medical studies have found that red light’s benefits the quality of our sleep by increasing serum melatonin levels. Red light can help us sleep better while delivering other physical benefits, such as stimulating energy production in cells. Another peer-reviewed study demonstrated that red light therapy increases physical and mental energy and endurance. The red light stabilizes the nervous system, and allergies, and even proved to be effective for seasonally affected disorders improving your mood, insomnia, and depression.
