Flourish Wellness | RED LIGHT THERAPY

 

The application of red and infrared light on humans has been studied for decades, but only recently has it become widely available to the general public. This is the only non-invasive and non-toxic treatment of pain, inflammation and aging that has no known side effects!

​

What is Red and Infrared light?

Red and infrared light are natural wavelengths of light that are emitted by sunlight and firelight. Red light is visible to the human eye, while infrared is not. Unlike UV light that damages the skin, red and infrared light are not harmful and it does not tan the skin.

​

How does light therapy work?

Much like plants use sunlight through photosynthesis to make energy, our cells can absorb red and infrared light to create our own currency of energy, ATP. This means every cell in the body can use this light to create energy which then allows the cell to perform its cellular function better! This light also helps each cell go through a natural healing process while it reduces oxidative stress. Free radicals can build up in the body if they are not neutralized by periods of rest along with an anti-oxidant rich diet, over time this leads to the oxidative stress and degradation in cells. Extensive research during last two decades has revealed oxidative stress can lead to chronic inflammation, which in turn contributes to chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and pulmonary diseases.

​

Why should I try Red + Infrared Light Therapy?

As we age, cell regeneration slows and oxidative stress builds. By applying Red light therapy, the cells can perform at an optimal level. Many people call this therapy the "fountain of youth"​ because it leaves you feeling like you did when you were young. Aches and pains vanish, joint function increases, there is improved cognitive function with betterment to memory, sleep cycles are improved, plus so many more benefits.
