What is red light therapy used for?

The simple and short answer to this question, is that red light therapy treatments supercharge your cells with the natural light they need to make more energy. The result of this is when your body produces more energy, it can have a substantially positive effect on your health and body function. 

Our cells need natural light to function, just like they need water and nutrients from food. Unfortunately, most people don’t get as much natural light as they need for optimal health (the average person spends over 87% of their time indoors). Red light therapy allows you to supplement the light you get from your environment with concentrated wavelengths of red and near infrared light at home. 

Red light therapy works by enhancing your energy production at a cellular level. Healthy, natural light stimulates the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, and enhances the cellular respiration process that makes ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy. Humans make ATP every day, and it fuels everything we do. The more energy our cells can make, the better our bodies look, heal, feel, and perform.
