In the last decade or two, much progress has been made by means of developing sources for beneficial wavelengths of light which penetrate the layers of skin and wash the cells in certain natural vibrations. Nowadays, human beings reside indoors, in homes, offices, under shaded structures and without the wash of constant natural light. We have gotten away from nature, and now we are sadly paying a price for that.
Red light therapy AKA photobiomodulation AKA ‘PBM’ is technology which has done its best to model the beneficial wavelengths of nature’s own light. Using red light (visible light), as well as near infrared frequencies of light (non-visible light), these vibrations are blended through red light panels to create a field of light which will pass through the skin and deep inside the body so it can be absorbed by the cells.
Getting a little deeper in terms of what goes on inside of a cell — in the midst of all the regular oxidative stress we have to deal with — the mitochondria inside a cell can be filled up with nitric oxide (this is the part of the cell where energy is created) and the nitric oxide can function as a sort of a free radical. The entrance of the natural red light frequencies washing the cell in light promote the nitric oxide leaving the cell.
With nitric oxide getting deported out of the cell, it allows for oxygen to be more easily assimilated into the cell, specifically to the cytochrome complex, where it can be absorbed. This allows for at least a 15-fold increase in the efficiency of creating ATP energy because of the presence of oxygen. This modality can accelerate the benefits of breath work, exercise, or oxygen intake for this reason. This is also why it is often recommended to first prepare the body for oxygenation with PEMF (Pulse Electromagnetic Therapy), then oxygenate with EWOT (Exercise with Oxygen Therapy), and then set the body up to receive maximum benefits from the oxygen with red light therapy.
Red light therapy is not without risks, although the risks seem small such as the risk of getting exposure to actual sunlight. And just keep in mind this is a human-contrived piece of technology and so it is somebody unnatural. Ultimately the risks of not receiving enough natural light seem to me to be far greater than the potential risks of PBM.
Some of the benefits of red light therapy may include:
— Assisting with regulating mood
— Enhancing energy levels
— Balancing steroid and hormone production
— Improve constitution of skin and collagen
— Thickening of skin and resistance to sunburn
— Stimulating to collagen production
PBM devices are not cheap and not even close to it. You can find their availability at a wellness center near you and book a session for about $25 to $50, or you can purchase your own red light panels and operating stand for several thousand dollars. Or, if you invest in a complete bed unit, this can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. This is certainly a high-end treatment but it is my responsibility to cover this and bring this information to you because it is cutting edge and powerful information that really is effective for what it does.
Here is a red light therapy device which is of high quality:

Consider looking at an at-home red light therapy solution for yourself, or add it on your long-term list to check back when the timing is right. Good luck and make it a point to try it for yourself at some point!
