PBMT Light Therapy for Whole Body Wellness

Red light therapy, such as from an LED light bed, can easily factor into your wellness journey. This therapy uses red LED lights in specific wavelengths that have been shown to target the mitochondria of our cells, boosting energy production and transport that promotes cellular health. There are a few ways red light therapy can enhance your whole body wellness:

Reduce Harm from Environmental Factors

While wellness can give us more control, we often can’t have control of environmental factors, like pollution. Pollution, especially in densely populated areas, contributes to oxidative stress, which can cause harmful inflammation. Red light therapy helps improve cellular health and increases cellular energy to fight oxidative stress and diminish the effects of harmful inflammation.

Correct Sleep Cycle Disruptions

A good night’s sleep is essential to our wellbeing, and red light therapy can help us wind down at the end of the day. Often, sleep is disrupted by our exposure to non-natural lighting such as overhead fluorescent lights and blue light emitted from our phones, computers, and tablets. This can send mixed signals to our brains, making it harder to fall asleep at night. Red light therapy in the evening hours before bed can help correct for overexposure to blue light and realign our circadian rhythm.

Improve Mood

An additional effect to reducing harmful inflammation and improving sleep is improved mood. Wellness is about the interconnectedness of the different aspects of our being, and improving physical factors has a positive impact on our emotional and mental states.

Additionally, red light therapy sessions are a good opportunity to practice important mindfulness steps like deep breathing. You can use a ten minute red light therapy session to step back, relax, and soak in all the healing benefits of red light.

Treat the Cause, Not Symptoms

An important aspect of wellness is prevention, which means targeting the cause of illness or unhappiness instead of treating the symptoms. Red light therapy targets the underlying inflammation that is one of the causes of many chronic and serious diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, and neurological diseases like dementia.
