NASA studies on astronauts in space capsules found that red light exposure is critical for wound healing. Near-infrared light outperforms pain medication for musculoskeletal pain, and consistent dosing matters more than occasional use.
So you're encapsulated when you go into space or if you're in a space station. But what ended up happening, what they started discovering with their astronauts is because of this lack of light, if they got a cut or a bruise or some sort of injury, it wouldn't heal.
Oh.
They tested this out by basically giving astronauts in encapsulated space, bringing a red light with them. And then they found that actually the healing process started again. This light is the body's own currency, so to speak, that actually needs for healing. And this is the case for you. Or in us here on Earth as well.
So the studies show clearly that near-infrared is more powerful than using pain medications to reduce pain.
Musculoskeletal pain. I mean, that's huge.
That is huge.
That's most forms of pain. Most general pains are musculoskeletal in nature, and many of them stem from inflammation or are related to inflammation.
Red and near-infrared. What's the dosing? Does it vary based on what you're trying to accomplish?
Consistency over time is what builds results. It's really, really crucial. the right dose. This is one of those problems we wanted to solve with FlexBeam, so you don't have to worry about how far am I away, how much light am I getting. Get yourself a FlexBeam to try to integrate it into your everyday life.
