Understanding Light
We all recognize light whether it comes from the sun, or a lamp. But which colors are beneficial to living cells and why? Why are some colors absorbed and others not? Which are the best color to use in Light Therapy?
-
How Light Affects the Cells
Here is where you delve into the nitty-gritty of exactly what happens when a cell absorbs a packet of light (aka a photon). Do all colors trigger the same response? How can we use this understanding to create vibrant health?
-
How Much Light do we need for PBM?
Science is beginning to understand how much Light you actually need to stimulate a beneficial reaction in living cells. But manufacturers often give little, or disingenuous, information about how much light their tools are providing. Here you learn to discern how much is “enough” and not “too much” light.
-
Pulsing Light = Frequency
Simply absorbing the needed energy of a photon can benefit cells. But how does pulsing that light change how the body reacts? Which frequencies are used and why?
-
Different Tools = Different Approaches
There are a plethora of different types and qualities of Light Tools flooding the markets around the globe. Working with pads versus lasers or panels means using different strategies to achieve the best outcomes.

Recordkeeping
