We’re always looking for natural, effective ways to keep our family healthy. One approach that has caught our attention is red light and infrared therapy. We've been using the LS Pro Systems red and infrared light therapy pad and want to share how it’s been benefiting our family.
What is Red Light and Infrared Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) and infrared therapy (IR) use different wavelengths of light to promote healing and well-being.
Red Light Therapy (620-700nm): Penetrates the skin at a shallow level and is known for boosting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and enhancing cellular repair. It’s commonly used for skin health, wound healing, and reducing pain.
Infrared Therapy (700-10,000nm): Invisible to the human eye, infrared light penetrates deeper into muscles, joints, and tissues, making it beneficial for pain relief, detoxification, and improved circulation.
Many therapy devices, including the LS Pro Systems pad, combine both red and near-infrared light to maximize healing benefits. There are several reputable companies that make options for home use. We have been very happy with LS Pro System's customer support and warranty guarantee. Our pad malfunctioned and they sent us a new one right away.
How We Use Light Therapy at Home
We’ve been incorporating red and infrared light therapy into our daily routine in simple yet effective ways:
Supporting Detox in Kids: When our little ones start showing signs of illness, we place the LS Pro Systems therapy pad on their tummies. The gentle infrared heat and red light help stimulate circulation and support the body's natural detox process.
Injury Recovery: Whether it’s a bumped knee, sore muscles from play, or postpartum recovery, we’ve found that using the therapy pad helps reduce inflammation and speed up healing.
Muscle and Joint Relief: For active parents, red and infrared therapy can be a game-changer for relieving sore muscles and aiding post-workout recovery.
Why We Love This Therapy
One of the best things about red and infrared therapy is that it is non-invasive, drug-free, and easy to use at home. Whether for skin health, pain relief, or immune support, it’s an excellent addition to a holistic wellness routine.
