9 Ways Red Light Therapy Improves Healing

9 Ways Red Light Therapy Improves Healing

 

  1. Red Light Therapy has been shown to reduces pain by increasing production of endorphins – a natural painkiller.
  2. Reduces inflammation by suppressing enzymes that create swelling, redness, and pain.
  3. Boosts the release of anti-inflammatory enzymes to reduce swelling quickly.
  4. Increases cellular regeneration and healing by stimulating the mitochondria within the cell. This increases the production of ATP which causes damaged cells to accept nutrients and eliminate toxins faster.
  5. Increases lymphatic drainage and circulation.
  6. Relaxes tight muscles and quickly releases muscle cramps.
  7. Strengthens anti-viral properties by increasing antibody production in the bloodstream.
  8. Improves the structure of tendons, bones, skin, teeth, and cartilage by increasing Collagen production.
  9. Stimulates a strong heartbeat by regulating serotonin levels. Serotonin helps to regulate inflammation and allergic reactions and plays an important role in blood clotting, stimulating a strong heartbeat, initiating sleep, and fighting depression. It also stimulates the smooth muscle in the intestinal wall helping it to contract.
