Infrared and red light therapy. All types of infrared heat radiation seem to be beneficial to the organism, and the ideal seems to be technology that affects us with radiation from the entire infrared spectrum. Instead of heating the air around the body first, the heat raws need directly into the body and heat it up. The same happens if the sun goes behind a cloud. Then you immediately get colder, even if the air temperature is the same. This is because the body is no longer given infrared radiation. The spectrum of infrared radiation is divided into three types, depending on how it is absorbed and thereby its biological significance. Near infrared radiation (near infrared, Nir), mean infrared radiation and remove infrared radiation (father infrared, Fir). Near infrared radiation penetrates the body, removing infrared radiation the basicest. Infrared radiation improves blood circulation, lowers blood pressure and increases oxygen supply to muscles and brain. Most cells in the body depend on heat, and treatment with infrared light can therefore stimulate these in many ways. Excerpt of article on infrared therapy from Health magazine (vof.no)

Red light and near infrared therapy (NIR) are two forms of photobiomodulation therapy that use light with specific wavelengths to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.

Red light therapy uses light with a wavelength of around 630-700 Nm, while NIR therapy uses light with wavelengths of around 800-1000 Nm. These wavelengths penetrate deep into the tissue and can help increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue growth and repair, and reduce pain.

When light with these wavelengths hits the skin and cells below, it can affect the mitochondria, which are the cells' power plants, and increase the production of ATP (adenosintrifosfate), which is the primary source of the cells. This in turn can help increase cell function and support the body's natural healing processes.

Red light and NIR therapy can be used for a variety of conditions, including muscle and joint pain, skin problems such as acne and wrinkles, and even to increase cognitive function and reduce depression and anxiety. However, it is important to note that these therapies are not a substitute for other medical treatment, and that it is always best to consult a doctor before starting with new treatment.
