How does Infrared Light Therapy work and how can it help?

Red and near infrared light penetrates through the skull and onto the outer part of the brain. The light impulse is absorbed by the cell batteries, the mitochondria, and the cells get active (a bit like putting your phone on a charger, the red light is the energy source and it ‘charges’ or creates energy for the mitochondria (batteries of the cell) and makes them active again. Thus, the activation of the mitochondria energises the neurons which then starts the flow of energy throughout the body again. This activation of the neural pathways has improvement on movements and mobilities of people with Parkinson’s disease. Thus the direct effect of red and near infrared light reduces the severity of Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
