Red Light Therapy: A Quick History
With all the different modalities available to help the body become healthy and stay healthy, you may feel overwhelmed when trying to decide what really works and what doesn’t. Some therapies could be fleeting fads, while others have true benefits.
Light therapy goes back thousands of years. The benefits of sunlight were realized as an effective health modality from disinfection to a means of disease prevention. In 1896, incandescent light therapy was used by a Danish physician to successfully treat a strain of tuberculosis. He subsequently received the Nobel Prize for these treatments.
Moving up nearly a century, along comes red light and LED (light emitting diode) therapy. In the 1960s, red lasers were used experimentally to promote wound healing, to treat certain cancers, and to stimulate hair growth. Decades later, NASA developed LED therapy to help ill or injured astronauts on long space missions. Today there are 6000+ published studies on the benefits of photobiomodulation (red light therapy).
Is Red Light Therapy Actually Effective?
The quick and easy answer is “Yes.” How is this accomplished? Photobiomodulation is a general term that’s used for different types of light therapies. Red light exists in specific wavelengths that bring about positive reactions in the cells. These reactions can change and improve cellular function. The cellular changes bring energy into the cells in order to increase their effectiveness. As every tissue in the human body is made up of cells, the heath benefits are vast and range from improved mood and better sleep to faster recovery and stronger immunity.
Light therapy is proven to be a safe and effective treatment. The most published and FDA recognized health benefits include pain relief, improved circulation, faster healing, reduction of oxidative stress, improved appearance of the skin, and more.
