Thanks for this. I appreciate your post and look forward to them. I've been following Dr Wood's work for a while. I love my red light panel and believe that it helps in muscle recovery. I recently broke my proximal radial head/neck hairline fracture and I used the red light nightly. I believe the red light therapy aided in my quick recovery.

Thanks for this episode. Very interesting to know more on the historical applications. Back in the 80s, my ENT used to put me on red light lamps when I had URTI and sinusitis. When the commercial stuff came out, I tried a GP-backed brand for an IR sauna blanket, a mini lamp, and face mask to see if it will help with lower limb swelling and recurrent asthma. Whether, it’s the detox from sweating that’s doing it, the relaxation from deep heat, or the IR/nIR itself, it has worked wonders for me whenever I use it. It has to be used regularly. Happy to hear it may have effects on cognition too, if I understood that correctly.

So glad to listen. Are there red light devices that can be purchased and used at home? Tried it all since age 20…

There is a device that was recommended by my neurologist that has GREEN light therapy. He said there is research that it is helpful for migraines. How would this compare to red light therapy?
