It’s the season of flu, colds and
coughs, that are not only irritating but tiring. While, we all run to get our
Benedryls, Panadols and Vicks, they all run their course with only temporary
relief.
Red Light Therapy devices can help
with any and every ailment, including common cold, cough and flu.
Also known by the
less-catchy names of photobiomodulation and low-level light therapy (LLLT), the
devices release light waves in the red and near infrared spectrum, which are perfectly
safe.
What it does is that the
device emits 660 and 850 nanometer wavelengths of light that fall under red and
near infrared in the colour spectrum. The cells in our body have chromophores
which respond to these wavelengths much like chlorophyll responds to sunlight
in plants. When you have a cold, cough or flu symptoms, the available energy
levels go down in the affected cells, and why we feel so terrible. Increasing
that level of available energy (ATP) with a red light therapy device will jump-start
your body’s engine at a cellular level.
Here’s how to use a Red
Light Therapy to help relieve the flu symptoms:
For a cough or a sore throat, apply the device on your
neck for about 30 minutes. Alternate the device between the two-sides of your
neck where the carotid artery is and you’ll feel the symptoms easing.
Putting the device over the nose and chest for 15 minutes on each,
can treat a cold and bring relief.
A headache caused by
a congested nose and/or sinus, can be treated by putting the Red Light therapy
device on the forehead or the head for 20-30 minutes.
Feeling short of breath or breathless is a
common symptom of the flu and the Red Light Therapy helps there as well. The
emission of the light helps the blood cells take up more oxygen and nutrients
to be utilized throughout the body, helping breathe properly while also helping
to eliminate the dreaded lurgy from your body.
Muscle and joint aches
and pains are also flu
symptoms and a session of 15-20 minutes with a Red Light Therapy device eases
the pain effectively and efficiently.
We recommend using the
device as many times as you want. However, once the symptoms start easing off,
reduce the usage or dosage to 50%. For example, if you used the device for 30
minutes on three days, reduce it to 30 minutes every alternate day.
Red Light Therapy is
completely natural, safe, non-invasive, chemical free and detoxifying. And
what’s interesting is that the investment in one device can be your go to
treatment source for a number of conditions and for your entire family. What’s
not to love?
