Red light therapy enhances how the body functions, recovers, sleeps, and heals, creating a natural environment that can better manage stress. The benefits of stress management extend beyond wellness and lead to a better quality of life.
Athletes, providers, and wellness-minded individuals should incorporate multiple red light therapy sessions throughout the week to enhance natural stress management and experience the systemic benefits of better cellular health.
Stress: The Systemic Quiet Killer
Stress is a natural, physical response that affects the body and the mind. Triggers for stress could be everyday circumstances, or serious life events or trauma, like an accident or loss.
According to the American Institute of Stress, 55% U.S. adults are stressed during the day.[1]
Sleep is one of the first natural functions to suffer due to stress, with 19% of adults losing sleep several nights per week due to stress, and 54% say stress increases anxiety around falling asleep.[2] Additionally,52% of men and 42% of women say stress affects their ability to focus the next day.[3]
How Red Light Therapy Works
Red light therapy activates the body’s natural healing and recovery processes in a non-invasive way. Red light therapy penetrates tissue to target the cells and activate mitochondria, also known as the “power plant” of the cells. Consistently simulating mitochondria with regular red light therapy sessions increases cell energy and function, which, in turn:
- Stimulates collagen (skin elasticity, structure, strength, etc.)
- Increases blood circulation
- Reduces inflammation
- Reduces oxidative stress (an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants)
This non-invasive process offers a natural solution that addresses health and wellness at the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.
Red Light Therapy For Stress Relief: Positive Outcomes
Red light therapy enhances how the body functions, recovers, and heals. A body equipped to function and recover better can better manage stress. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common stress-related conditions. One study revealed that red light therapy has shown a significant improvement in PTSD symptom severity.[4]
Mental and physical stress often manifests in other symptoms, like depression, poor quality sleep, and anxiety. The documented benefits of red light therapy for mood disorders like depression and anxiety are plentiful, and it is a frontline treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). [5]
However, the best outcomes lie in the systemic benefits. Red light therapy alters cellular function, which increases ATP production. This reduces inflammation, supports healing, enhances blood flow, and increases stem cell growth and multiplication.[6]
How To Choose Red Light Therapy Beds For Stress Relief
Not all red light therapy beds can produce the desired outcomes. You need premium-quality red light therapy beds with these features to unlock systemic benefits, like stress relief:
- Multi-Wavelength Power: TheraLight beds are the only ones on the market with four independently controlled wavelengths (633, 810, 850, 940 nm) to target different outcomes.
- Adjustable Pulse Settings: LED tech ranging from 1 to 5000 Hz to allow for deeper penetration and customized dosing.
- Full-Body Coverage: With more lights comes more exposure and better systemic absorption.
- Science Backed: Anyone can install lights in a panel, but a bed that’s been backed by science and certified by NASA’s Space Organization is one you can trust.[7]
Implementing Red Light Therapy Beds for Stress Relief
- Be consistent: Frequent and regular sessions get the best results. Aim for 3 to 5 sessions per week, each lasting 10 to 20 minutes.
- Wavelength matters: The best cellular benefits are activated at the 633 to 810/850 nm range.
- Supplement other stress relief techniques: Mindfulness, journaling, therapy, grounding, yoga, and meditation all have positive effects on stress.
