Infrared Light Therapy

Far infrared's primary therapeutic associations are cardiovascular: increasing blood flow, improving circulation, and helping to lower blood pressure. Far infrared is linked to detoxification, immunity, cardiovascular effects, circulation, sweating, blood pressure, and core-temperature elevation. Daily red light exposure reduces the rate of retinal cell death during aging. Red light slows age-related retinal cell loss. Far infrared is linked to cardiovascular benefits through circulation and endothelial function. The article claims therapeutic leverage may exist across multiple biological modalities simultaneously. Direct sunlight exposure therapy produced a rapid reversal in a critically ill patient's clinical trajectory. Infrared and red light devices, including wearable scalp helmets, have demonstrated measurable improvement in androgenic alopecia. Infrared light devices including helmet-style wearable scalp devices have demonstrated measurable improvement in androgenic alopecia. Infrared light reduces fibrosis in lung tissue, which is particularly relevant to COPD. Photobiomodulation may have therapeutic potential across multiple neurological, psychiatric, and systemic conditi…
