Quick Healing With Infrared Light Therapy

By Lucia Weeks


Since the beginning of studies into the characteristics of light, it has been thought that certain rays in the light spectrum are beneficial to the body. The discovery of infrared light therapy a few decades ago has confirmed most of the thoughts of earlier scientists. Infrared is an electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength longer than visible light. It is the form in which most thermal radiations are emitted by bodies at room temperature.

A lot of success has been chalked up in the research into treating ailments with this technology. Illnesses as common as muscle ache to more complex ones like brain damage have all been shown to respond positively to infrared treatment. The rays are able to penetrate into the body tissues without the need to cut through surface tissues. This kind of treatment can be used to remedy skin infections, wounds, scars as well as burns.

Therapies with the use of infrared technology can be used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and strokes. Directing this rays on part of the body increases the metabolism of nitric acid by the cells and thus increasing the rate of blood flow to the cells of the body. This can help clear clogged blood vessels and help build more blood capillaries and hence reducing the pressure at which blood moves in the body.

Muscles also benefit a great deal from this rays. The improvement is circulation means more oxygen is made available to the muscles for energy production. This increases the energy levels of the muscle cells, especially during activity. Exposing the muscles to infrared also encourages the production of adenosine tri-phosphate. This is the main energy used in muscle contraction and maintaining all activities of cells. The technology can cure muscle contraction issues such as those as a result of stroke.

Healing of injured muscles with the technology has also proven successful. The improvement in the rate of blood flow when this invisible ray is thrown on a part of the body means more oxygen reaches injured tissue cells more quickly. More nutrients and chemicals needed for the repair of the injured cells are also delivered at a faster rate. This leads to the quick healing of scars, wounds and acupuncture points.

The effects of brain damage can be lessened with this treatment. During a stroke, brain cells close to the clot locations are deprived of oxygen and die within a few hours. Electromagnetic radiation can be delivered to the brain cells, without cutting into the skull. The rays increase the rate of blood flow in the body, increasing the probability of oxygen reaching brain cells in areas near blood clots. This prevents these cells from complete damage and hence reduces the risk of brain damage. A special headgear is used to direct infrared rays to the brain.

Research into using this technlogy to treat nervous system problems are showing positive signs. This invisible ray is able to penetrate the body into the nerves without any cut on the body. The rays stimulates regeneration of the nerve cells, leading to healing. Though the research is not fully conclusive, some medical facilities are testing the technology on their patients.

Studies are also ongoing in the area of treating sleep disorders with this technology. Infrared has proven to relax the body and relieve pain. This can lead to better sleep patterns and can be helpful especially to those suffering from insomnia. Depression can also be treated using this treatment.
