Pain and Inflammation - what to do in 2023
Is there a non-invasive and effective way that is drug free to help manage and alleviate pain in 2023?
Infrared light works by increasing circulation and promoting the healing process. The light helps to increase the production of nitric oxide, which is an important molecule involved in inflammation. Nitric oxide is known to reduce inflammation by blocking the release of certain inflammatory molecules and by increasing the production of anti-inflammatory molecules.
Infrared light also helps to reduce pain by reducing the activity of the nervous system. This reduces the amount of pain signals that are sent to the brain, which helps to reduce the overall level of pain.
In addition, infrared light has been shown to help reduce scarring from injuries and infections. This is because infrared light helps to promote the production of collagen and elastin, which are two proteins that are important for keeping the skin healthy and helping to reduce the appearance of scars.
Overall, infrared light therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation, pain, and scarring. It is a safe and non-invasive therapy that can be used to treat a variety of conditions. If you are looking for a natural way to reduce inflammation, pain, and scarring, then consider trying infrared light therapy.
