Show Notes

Light therapy is so often misconceived as to what it actually is. For our first episode, I thought it a wise move to give you a decent background understanding of the meaning of and scope of light therapies.

Topics include 

  • Light therapies is more than white light boxes and reiki light healing
  • Terms used – such as photo, photon, photobiomodulation, chromo, helio, infrared, UV, wavelength, frequency
  • The visible electro-magnetic spectrum 
  • EMF radiation is also a form of light having effect on our biology 
  • Sound is another form of energy which is a ‘lower octave’ of light 
  • Thought could be considered a form of ‘light’ or energy very high up in frequency on the electro-magnetic scale 
  • The main areas how light therapy can be delivered are via the eyes, skin, joints, acupuncture points, ears, organs, head/brain, blood
  • Light (especially near infra red)  to the eyes can be used for visual problems. Light to eyes can also be used for neurological brain issues, as in Syntonics, a branch of behavioural optometry 
  • Light therapy through the eyes can also be administered using coloured filterd glasses
  • Light therapy via eyes to brain for mood conditions can also be administered via the monocrom dome
  • Light via the skin can be done via sun exposure (helpful for immunity) 
  • The beauty industry are using light on the skin for facial rejuvenation, fat loss via masks, lasers, red light therapy 
  • Blue light is used for skin conditions like psoriasis, acne, rashes and also for newborns with too much bilirubin in blood 
  • Photodynamic therapy is light injected into the blood, or on the skin, targeted to interact with specific colour pigment substances to treat cancer, both on skin and internally
  • Light therapy on the skin , especially red light, is used ot speed up healing of stubborn sores and wounds, as in diabetes
  • Light onto the joints. tendons or muscles clears up injuries and inflammations quickly 
  • Light can be used on acupuncture points as a viable alternative for needles 
  • Russian study shows that light placed on one end of the body will be detected in another distal area of the body, via ultra weak photon emissions. Light travels through the body, via conductive connective tissue.
  • Light in the internal ear is being used successfully in Germany to treat tinnitus 
  • Light to the external ear is used for auricular point stimulation (Auriculotherapy) – a system developed by Dr. Paul Nogier, used for sleep, pain, nerve problems and addictions 
  • Light to the organs can be achieved by applying nearinfrared light which penetrates 5 to 10 cm deep 
  • You can treat the liver by placing near infrared light under right ribs on an acupuncture point LIVER 13, or treat heart, thymus and lungs by placing light over chest area
  • Treating the thymus improves the immunity and helps regenerative anti-aging effects 
  • The thyroid can be helped, especially for hashimoto’s disease,  by using light over throat areas 
  • Shining red and near infra red light on the testes can improve testosterone levels
  • Transcranial red light therapy for brain  - Parkinson’s, Altzeimers, brain injuries and strokes.
  • Irradiating the blood with light 
  • Irradiating blood  to reduce inflammatory cytokines 
  • Intra-nasal blood irradiation
