Speaking of a healthy frequency, exposing your skin to red and near infrared light (frequency of: 650-1000 nm) can be a great way to keep your body healthy and strong. There is loads of scientific data (as well as anecdotal evidence) that validates the use of this kind of light to promote health (including, but no limited to: better sleep,; pain reduction; joint health; faster healing; weight management; energy production; beauty and anti-aging; and hormone balance to name just some of the many benefits). 

Light is a VERY under-appreciated nutrient!

You must consume 'healthy light' for your health to shine bright!

Many people suffer from mal-illumination (poor lighting) each day. This could be equated to mal-nutrition. In other words, many people are not exposing themselves to healthy frequencies of light, and therefore, are not nourished properly overall. In fact, the over-exposure to all the artificial 'blue light' many people consume each day (from their techno gadgets- phones, lap-taps, gaming devices, TV, etc.) has made this issue even worse. 

Simply put, red and inferred light helps to improve how cells function (especially the mitochondria = the power packs and energy generators of the cells). When your cells are healthy, your body will be healthy!

Nature's wisdom provides this light to us for FREE —- with the highest amounts of the red-infrared light occurring at sunrise and sunset hours. However, since many people don't get sun exposure at these hours (for various different reasons), this is where technology can play a positive role!

You can find a link below that has some affordable red-infrared lighting options. They range from an LED 5 Watt bulb, and up to a 150, 250, and 300 Watt incandescent bulb. The LED runs cool with little heat. The incandescent bulbs run hot (which I have found to be very therapeutic for myself, and so have many of my patients). 

Like any product or technology, you will see debate about what constitutes 'true' red-infrared light, regarding output, frequency range, bulb quality, etc. What I can say is that despite this debate, the product I am recommending has worked well for me and my patients.

They are easy to use, but some recommendations and safety precautions are advised.

• You need to use a light socket rated at least as high as the bulb you are using. (For example, if you choose to buy a 300 Watt bulb, you need to get a light socket rated to handle up to 300 Watts. DO NOT put a high wattage bulb in a low watt socket. It is not safe to do this! It can damage the bulb, and also be a fire hazard!) 

  
  

  The wattage capacity is often stated on the cord or the side of the lamp socket. You can use a work light or 'clamp lamp' with these bulbs, which can often be found at local home improvement or hardware stores; or from online retailers, such as Amazon. 

  
  

• I recommend 10-20 minutes of full body exposure 1-2x/day. (This means exposure to bare skin. Note: This light may also penetrate light-colored clothing.)

  
  

• You can lie on your side and aim the bulb at the center of your body in front of you for half the time, and then roll over to the other side so the bulb is behind your body for the rest of the time. (Note: If you want to cut your time in half, you could also use 2 bulbs at the same time- one bulb placed in front, and one in back). 

  
  

• More is not always better. Just use it moderation.

  
  

• Keep the light 2-3 feet from your body (especially if using the 250 or 300 Watt bulbs).

  
  

• Don't stare directly at the lights. Keep your eyes closed. You may also want to wear eye protection if you are concerned. 

  
  

• Keep anything flammable or that can be damaged by heat at least a couple feet from the bulb (including clothing, carpets, paper, wood, plastic, or electronics).

  
  

• Do not leave the bulb unattended while in use. Do not fall asleep while using the bulb. 

  
  

• Do not use bulb near water, or immerse the bulb in water.

• Do not touch the bulb immediately after use. Let is cool down first. 

  
  

• Do not touch the bulb if you have oil or lotion on your hands.

  
  

• Listen to your body: if the bulb starts to feel too hot, move it further away; or stop using it at that time if needed.

  
  

• *Note: These bulbs will NOT raise Vitamin D levels, as they are not UV lamps, and thus will also not cause UV skin damage either.
