Navigating health and wellness trends can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to reproductive health. Whether it’s disorders like endometriosis and PCOS, painful periods, fertility, or menopause, finding effective tools is important.
Red light therapy is a tool gaining popularity for its potential to support reproductive health. Developed by NASA, this technology works by stimulating mitochondria to increase ATP formation, resulting in increased energy and improved cellular function.
Understanding Red Light Therapy
Originally developed by NASA to aid wound healing, red light therapy uses near-infrared rays to stimulate mitochondria and promote ATP formation, leading to enhanced cellular function and healing.
This technology has shown potential benefits for treating various health issues with minimal invasiveness and no known long-term side effects.
Effects on Reproductive Health
Red light therapy has shown promise in alleviating painful periods, reducing endometriosis symptoms, improving thyroid function, and aiding infertility. Studies have demonstrated its potential to relieve period pain, reduce endometrial adhesions, and improve pregnancy rates in severely infertile women.
Potential Side Effects
Red light therapy is considered low risk, minimally invasive, and generally safe for most individuals. However, people with photosensitizing medical conditions should avoid it. It’s important to discuss red light therapy with a healthcare provider to determine its suitability for your specific needs.
