NASA heals the astronauts with red light

The wavelength of red light promotes the production of enzymes in cells and enhances the body's ability to heal itself.

Studies by the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) indicate that red light and infrared light therapy work to promote the development of healthy skin cells up to 150-200% and quickly cure heal damaged areas. Red light therapy is very safe and does not generate side effects, so it is expected to become the optimal method of treatment and beauty in the future.

At first, NASA developed red light therapy through space-based plant experiments. This technology was later raised to a method of wound healing for astronauts in space - a place that was limited in medicine and medical equipment.

In a recent announcement, US doctors demonstrated that red light was really effective in treating wounds, while preventing and treating muscular atrophy for US Navy sailors and NASA members. . It was the astronauts working at NASA who acknowledged feeling much better thanks to the light coming from the aerial spaces.

According to Professor H. Whelan, Wisconsine University of Medicine, using light to cure disease is not "superstition" but a matter of science. Long wavelengths of red light are the key to boosting the production of intracellular enzymes, releasing nitric oxyde in the blood through wounds, increasing the cycle of blood activity near wounds, increasing oxygen and nutrients into the arteries, while removing dirt from the wound. The treatment process not only heals the wound but also increases body health.

NASA's red light research has opened up a new direction and spurred further research to apply this method to the treatment and beauty, according to Draxe. Korea is the first country in Asia to apply red light to the beauty field, called Reverse tanning or White tanning, Originating - restoring the original bright white skin. Up to now, red light technology has been replicated in many other countries such as Japan, China, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam .

Later on, there are many further studies reaffirming the benefits of red light in promoting the production of collagen for whitening, reducing wrinkles, treating acne, reducing Rosacea blushing, and recovering damaged skin by ultraviolet rays. In addition, it reduces redness and restores weakened capillaries, ruptures, blisters scars and stretch marks, softens the whole body skin, provides additional moisturizer for the skin, prevents hair loss and stimulates hair growth and improvement. mood and stress relief. Exposure to red light does not cause loss of skin nutrients, it does not cause itching or burning. This therapy is proven safe for all skin types and ages, with no side effects.
