Red Light Therapy Benefits & How It Works
What do you know about YOUR ability to enhance YOUR OWN cellular function, to support greater balance and energy efficiency across your body?
Let me first start by saying, it is possible, and you are in control when you incorporate Red Light Therapy (RLT) into your life. Think of RLT as food for your body; providing nutrient-dense nourishment that contributes to enhanced well-being.
According to the Cleaveland Clinic, Red Light Therapy (RLT) is an emerging treatment that is showing promise for treating a variety of health-related matters.
In basic terms, RLT exposes you to low levels of red or near-infrared light. Infrared light is a type of energy your eyes can’t see, but your body can feel as heat. Red light is similar to infrared, but you can see it.
During a RLT session, red and near-infrared light wavelengths are emitted and absorbed by chromophores within the cells (remember the food for your body).
Let’s take a closer look at both red light therapy and its benefits.
The average American spends 90% of their time indoors! This makes practicing red light therapy a critical step to health and wellness.
Light therapy refers to health modalities that use light wavelengths to produce positive physiological effects on the human body. The following two-minute video gives a great overview of how light and energy play a positive role in the health of our bodies.
How Does Light Therapy Work?
Joovv, a leading provider in the space and the maker of the model we use at Awaken Now, breaks it down as follows:
Red light therapy devices deliver concentrated wavelengths of therapeutic light to your skin and cells, which can help reduce oxidative stress and stimulate cellular energy production (adenosine triphosphate or ATP). This helps your body power itself, leading to many benefits, including improved blood circulation and reduced joint pain and inflammation. In short, red and NIR light helps your cells produce energy and rejuvenate more efficiently, which can have systemic benefits like increased blood flow and enhanced inflammation management.
Insider reports, some research suggest that exposing yourself to red light for 5 to 20 minutes may increase the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP,) a compound that stores and provides energy to your cells. Overall, RLT is designed to support healthier sleep, reduced inflammation, healthy skin, and improved recovery, among other aspects of a healthy lifestyle.
The mounting data on RLT is certainly promising, and combined with a variety of powerhouse treatments at Awaken Now, we are here to help you experience the benefits. Restored cellular health is the basis for all healing and the most significant benefit of RLT is the effect on the body’s cells.
