August 24, 2020 P.O.E. Episode 2: Red Light Therapy
EPISODE 2:
It the second episode of the P.O.E. Series I will cover Red Light Therapy: Define What is it? Benefits that can occur, and Where you might go to experience it yourself.
What is it? Defined
The principle of red light therapy can be thought of as like a human version of the way plants photosynthesize. It is thought that certain wavelengths of light can enhance the functioning of mitochondria, which are the organelles in a cell which take in nutrients and break them down to create energy molecules for the cell. By enhancing the cellular respiration, it will improve the functioning of the whole cell.
Benefits:
- Reduce Inflammation
- Enhance & Regenerate Skins
- Reduce Joint Pain
- Relieves Muscle Spasms
- Pain Relief
