Joy Kong, MD explains how different light wavelengths heal through specific pathways. Green light activates cannabinoid pain pathways and speeds wound healing. Red and infrared light boosts mitochondrial ATP production, reducing inflammation and pain throughout the body.

So light is absorbed into chromophores and there are specific chromophores in the body that create specific reactions, the blues and the green. Green is absorbed in the hemoglobin, the oxyhemoglobin. And essentially what green is going to do is antiviral, antibacterial. And we just found that out, supercharges the blood. It is actually better for wound healing than red infrared. The chromophore for red infrared is cytochrome C oxidase in the mitochondria. So that absorbs that red infrared light. Going to increase mitochondrial function. If we increase mitochondrial function, we're going to increase ATP. We increase ATP, the cells have more energy. If the cells have more energy, tissues, organ systems do. So it's that cascading effect. It's also analgesic on nerves. Whereas green hits a cannabinoid pain pathway. So we get a different pain pathway. Green is going to work for migraines, red is going to work for different things. Red, infrared is anti inflammatory. If you're in a full body light bed and you're reducing inflammation throughout the entire body, that's huge. You're infinitely more knowledgeable about this than I am. What the interaction with stem cells is going to be.
Yeah, we actually put ourselves in a light. Well with, with red and yellow, actually the two lights that we used to help. I think green also, just not the blue.
