Should I use Near Infrared Light Therapy?

Near infrared light therapy (NIR) is a type of light therapy that uses near infrared light to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve overall wellness. Some potential benefits of NIR therapy include:

1) Increased circulation and oxygenation of the tissues

2) Reduced inflammation and pain

3) Improved wound healing

4) Improved skin health and appearance

5) Increased energy and overall sense of well-being

NIR therapy is often used to treat conditions such as arthritis, muscle and joint pain, neuropathy, and skin conditions. It can also be used as a way to improve overall health and wellness.

However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of NIR therapy can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Additionally, it is important to be cautious when using NIR therapy, as over-exposure to near infrared light can cause damage to the eyes and skin. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting NIR therapy.
