Jody Mittiga is an advanced practice adult nurse practitioner trained in both naturopathic health and various strategies for optimizing health, with specialties including palliative care and stress management, as well as being an avid advocate of light therapy.<\/p>\n

Photons (also referred to as light quantums) are discrete packets (or waves) of electromagnetic energy with both momentum and energy value that travel at lightspeed.<\/p>\n

3. Stress Reduction<\/h2>\n

Stress management techniques have long been a focus in wellness and holistic healthcare, with one such technique – red light therapy – becoming increasingly popular. While it won’t solve your hectic work schedule or toxic lifestyle, red light therapy provides a natural approach that offers additional energy support at the cellular level to help your body cope with chronic stress more easily.<\/p>\n

Inlight therapy entails placing clients in front of a flexible light box covered with flexible pads that cover their bodies – usually placed over chest and abdomen areas, sessions typically last about 30 minutes, and use both visible red light (RL) and near infrared light (NIRL), which cannot be seen with naked eyes but can still be felt as heat; unlike traditional psychotherapy or pharmaceutical options, light therapy is non-invasive and suitable for anyone without adverse side effects.<\/p>\n

5. Sleep<\/h2>\n

Sleep is one of the body’s most intricate processes, yet can seem effortless when given enough quality rest. Unfortunately, poor quality rest is all too often the norm, leading to increased risks of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety and impairment of cognitive functioning in children and young adults (1). Sleep disturbances also create physical and emotional symptoms including fatigue, poor concentration, lower moods and an overall weakening of immune systems (1).<\/p>\n

Applying inlight therapy frequencies<\/a> that match our bodies’ natural rhythms and physiological functions can support healthy sleeping patterns – essential components of mental and physical wellbeing. Red and near-infrared light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), employs specific wavelengths which absorb into specific components of mitochondria for greater energy production, decreased oxidative stress levels, and modulation of our immune responses (2).<\/p>\n

Light exposure has the ability to reset our bodies’ circadian clock, as it regulates melatonin production. Although red light therapy as a sleep aid remains controversial, several major clinical bodies recommend short sessions of light exposure several times each week or nightly during the last two hours before bedtime (1).<\/p>\n

Light therapy not only aids the body in setting its sleep schedule, but it can also enhance quality rest by relieving pain, stress and anxiety. Nogier frequencies – created by French physician Paul Nogier in the 1950s for use in Auriculotherapy (3,4) – have shown to produce measurable effects when exposed to different frequencies (2-5).<\/p>\n
