Light 101
We are surrounded by Light. We are Light, literally. Light is, in fact, the “mother of all life”.
Light, either natural or from a light emitting diode source (LED) delivers photons (aka light energy) to your body.
Light “turns on” everything in your cells. Our cells absorb photons and transform their energy into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is used to both power metabolic processes and to synthesize DNA and RNA (proteins and enzymes). ATP may also repair and/or regenerate cell components, foster an abundance of cell reproduction and increase circulation thereby restoring balance to the body. Light is also responsible for the release of Nitric Oxide within the cells – a ‘miracle’ signaling molecule aiding in the body’s healing process, blood pressure and circulation.
There are about 100,000 chemical reactions happening in every cell each second. The chemical reaction can only happen if the molecule which is reacting is excited by a photon…Once the photon has excited a reaction it returns to the field and is available for more reactions….We are swimming in an ocean of light.

What is LED Light Therapy?
LED Light Therapy was pioneered by NASA in the 1980’s. The U.S. Department of Defense is continuing research of LED Light Therapy for the prevention of laser attacks to the eyes and to accelerate wound healing on the battlefield.
NASA’s studies have shown that cells which have been exposed to LED light therapy have a 150% enhancement to their cellular metabolism, thereby accelerating repair and replenishment.
LED Light Therapy has been in use in the medical profession for more than 20 years.
LED Light Therapy differs in delivery, application and intensity from laser which is another form of energy transmission. LED Light Therapy disperses light (red, blue and near infrared) at pulsed intervals over a greater surface area than a laser and is non-invasive.
LED’s are applied directly to the skin to stimulate a variety of physiological responses. LED’s are safe for all ages, are non-abrasive and are painless.
How Can I Benefit from LED Light Therapy?
- Increased circulation
- Pain relief
- Increased comfort
- Skin rejuvenation
- Reduced inflammation
- Expedited recovery for bruises, scars…. And much more!
What does this mean for you?
Typical uses for light therapy include:
1. Any “itis”
2. Wound Healing
3. Any joint problems
4. Muscle and Tendon Discomfort
5. Inflammation
6. Lower Back Discomfort
7. Numbness, Tingling or Pain in the Feet

FDA product listing
Not all LED Light Therapy devices have an FDA clearance. With an FDA clearance the product has demonstrated a therapeutic effect and is “cleared” for reducing pain and increasing circulation
I only recommend purchasing LED Light Therapy devices that have an FDA Class II medical device clearance.
