Red and infrared light therapy (also referred to as RLT – Red Light Therapy, or LLLT – Low Level Laser Therapy) is a therapy that uses red (RED) or near infrared (NIR) light.

These 2 wavelengths of light (red + infrared) are the only ones capable of penetrating deep into the body, where they stimulate cells to better produce of energy.

All life arises and develops under the influence of... light.”All life arises and develops under the influence of... light.”

Dr. Charles Czeisler of Harvard Medical School showed in 1981 that daytime sunlight keeps a person's internal clock (the so-called circadian rhythm) in tune with the environment. And this seems to be the "key" to many health problems, as science shows.

If our natural circadian rhythm is not synchronized, the processes in our bodies will also be out of sync. This means that our digestion, excretion, metabolism, but most importantly, sleep, will not be optimal.

It is sunlight that contains all the right information (frequencies) that are important for our optimal health and longevity. This means that when we are outside in the sun, our bodies and eyes interpret this photonic (light) information to stay healthy. However, when we are indoors and only receive light from artificial screens and lighting, our cells interpret it as misinformation, which can lead to poor health.

This is where red and infrared light therapy, aka photobiomodulation, comes into play.

How red and infrared light therapy works:

"Mitochondria are like our "power plants" that create not only energy but also water in our bodies. And our mitochondria need red and infrared light to function."

 

Under normal conditions, we have plenty of red and infrared light from the sun, but the problem in modern times is that we spend more than 90% of our time indoors and covered up, which means we are no longer exposed to natural sunlight.

Red and infrared light make up the majority of sunlight in nature and it is what our cells use as their primary "light nutrition".

Easy Light Mitochondriak light therapy panels essentially supplement the beneficial red and near-infrared wavelengths of natural sunlight, which are hard to find time for in today's busy modern world, saturated with artificial light of the wrong wavelengths.

 

How therapy works in a more professional sense:

Red and infrared light photons are the only ones capable of penetrating our tissues and penetrating the body up to several centimeters. They allow our cells deep in the body, those that are normally covered by clothing from the sun almost their entire lives, to efficiently use oxygen by minimizing the absorption of nitric oxide by cytochrome C oxidase and thus create enough water and ATP.

Red light is the only one in the spectrum that can penetrate the human body several centimeters, thus reaching almost every mitochondria and water molecule in the body, collagen, fibroblast, fascia,... and helping to stimulate healing and regeneration, improve the appearance or elasticity of the skin, performance and overall well-being.

The benefits of RLT (photobiomodulation) using red and infrared light have now been documented in more than thousands of studies.

The main benefits of therapy include::

Supports cell health

- Stimulates collagen production
- Strengthens hair and improves skin elasticity
- Supports connective tissue health

Improves blood circulation and makes the heart work easier

- Dilates blood vessels because it increases blood flow
- Protects red blood cells and platelets
- Improves water viscosity and ATP formation

Increases fertility

- Increases testosterone production
- May stimulate the pineal gland and melatonin

Reduces pain

- Relieves stiffness and joint pain
- Reduces inflammation
- Reduces muscle spasms while increasing blood flow to important areas of the body

Faster/better regeneration

- Accelerates regeneration
- Stimulates mitochondria and stem cells for faster regeneration

Stimulates hair growth

- Stimulates stem cells in the hair follicle to promote active hair growth

Improves skin hydration

- Improves collagen production
- Increases tissue repair
- NIR penetrates deeply and improves cellular hydration
- Reduces fine lines, wrinkles and scars

Reduces inflammation

- Soothes sore joints, muscles and arthritis
- Relieves symptoms associated with autoimmune diseases, spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries

Above all, let us never forget one important fact/paradox of modern times, which is that:

We already have too much blue light!

...but what about red?
