Harnessing the Power of Near Infrared Light for Detoxification and Health - Key Takeaways

Key Takeaways

Near infrared saunas offer significant detoxification and health benefits compared to far infrared saunas.
Near infrared light penetrates biological tissue more effectively than far infrared, providing deeper heating.
Photobiomodulation is activated by near infrared light, enhancing mitochondrial function and overall cellular health.
Incandescent bulbs emit a natural, full spectrum light that is beneficial for health, unlike fluorescent and LED lights.
The shift to energy-efficient lighting has led to the loss of beneficial wavelengths and increased exposure to harmful frequencies.
Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury, posing environmental hazards, while incandescent bulbs are safer and more effective for therapeutic use.

Wattage of incandescent bulbs used in sauna therapy.

Near infrared is higher energy and penetrates deeper than far infrared.
Far infrared primarily provides surface heating with limited biological benefits.

Near infrared light activates biological systems through photobiomodulation.
Mitochondria absorb near infrared light, enhancing cellular respiration and healing.

Incandescent bulbs provide a full spectrum of light beneficial for health.
Fluorescent and LED lights are less natural and can introduce harmful frequencies.

"Photobiomodulation is simply light activating biological systems."

"The incandescent bulb was condemned as being energy inefficient, but it's a wonderful way to heat the room."

"Fluorescent bulbs are actually mercury vapor bulbs, creating hazardous waste."
