Maintaining a strong immune system is essential for defending against illness and staying healthy. While nutrition, dormir, and exercise are key, terapia de luz roja (RLT) is gaining attention as a non-invasive tool to support immune function.
¿Qué es la terapia con luz roja??
Red light therapy uses low-level red and near-infrared light (typically 630–850nm) to stimulate cells and promote healing. It works by enhancing mitochondrial activity—the powerhouse of the cell—resulting in increased energy (atp) production and improved cellular performance.
How Red Light Supports the Immune System
Emerging research and clinical observations suggest that red light therapy may boost immunity through several mechanisms:
- Stimulates white blood cell activity: Enhances the function of immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages.
- Reduce la inflamación: Helps regulate the immune response, which is key in both fighting infections and controlling autoimmune reactions.
- Improves circulation: Delivers oxygen and nutrients more efficiently, supporting immune cell transport.
- Regulates stress response: By reducing oxidative stress, red light can help maintain immune balance.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Immune Health
- Helps prevent illness by supporting the body’s natural defenses
- Speeds up recovery from infections or inflammation
- May help manage autoimmune or chronic immune conditions
- Drug-free, seguro, and suitable for regular use
How to Use Red Light Therapy for Immune Support
- Longitud de onda: Use panels emitting 630–850 nm light
- Session time: 10–20 minutos
- Frecuencia: 3–5 veces por semana, consistently
- Target areas: Chest, atrás, thymus gland area (just above the sternum), or full body
