Light Therapy and the Mitochondria

In this post we will begin to discover how light therapy hits deeper than we even thought, all the way down to Mitochondrial function! This is exactly what is exciting scientists in current studies and over the past decade.

Light therapy benefits are supported by clinical testing dating back to studies carried out by NASA and have since been explored significantly.

Starting at Photobiomodulation

How is Mitochondrial function influenced? We need to understand Photobiomodulation or (PBM)/ PBM utilises wavelengths of light to help stimulate the natural healing process in the body.

Studies have shown that PBM light therapy delivers benefits of both physical and mental performance with the added aesthetical bonus for the non-believers. Seeing is believing after all for some, however the incredible benefits are much deeper.

Fighting Inflammation

Research on the mitochondria is becoming more readily available and, thankfully, in recent times studies have been carried out around the world to understand its true function and how it effects our every movement.

We now know that we can use our environment to influence our body and take control in fighting inflammation, disease and overall wellbeing/

What is Mitochondria?

No boxing, NO LIFE. Sorry, as a boxing fan I hear this a lot, however, to be correct and in relation to everybody who lives today: No Mitochondria, NO LIFE.

NO LIFE, as Mitochondria are vital to our very survival and are organelles in the body responsible for most of the cell's supply of energy.

Light for Energy Enhancement

The mighty and powerful great red and near infrared light sources have been found to influence mitochondria in body cells thus stimulating cellular respiration which activates Adenosine Triphosphate Production (ATP) or in short, energy.

Yes, really. Increased energy can be promoted using devices that are designed to give off the effective doses of red and near infrared light. Rejuu devices use medical grade treatment technology with optimal wavelengths for anyone to to benefit, even pets.
