Improve your sleep with red & near IR Light Therapy
There is some research suggesting that red & near IR light therapy can impact melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone produced primarily by the pineal gland in the brain, and even most non-scientists are somewhat familiar with melatonin for its role in promoting sleep. Interestingly, based on a few studies done in China, red & near IR light seems to increase melatonin produced by the body! Even more interestingly, it seems that this increased melatonin production comes from other parts of the body other than the pineal gland! The studies found increased melatonin in blood circulation following red & near IR light exposure, and studies have also found dramatic benefit to sleep in people with insomnia.
Red Light and the Sleep Quality and Endurance Performance of Chinese Female Basketball Players.Jiexiu Zhao, Ye Tian, Jinlei Nie, Jincheng Xu, and Dongsen Liu,
CONCLUSIONS: We have demonstrated that red-light illumination positively affected sleep quality and endurance performance variables in Chinese female basketball players. Based on previous studies, we can infer that red-light treatment contributes to increased melatonin secretion in the pineal gland and muscle regeneration.
Celluma red & near IR light therapy brings best results when combining it with
acupuncture, however it can be done on its own.
