Is it ironic that light can heal our bodies as effectively as it can damage them?
We need the light. We run toward it and bathe in it on long summer days. Sunlight is good for the body and good for our mental health. Yet, there’s the inverse. People are conditioned from a young age to shield themselves against the sun. As small children, many of us were slathered with sunblock by wildly protective parents armed with copious amounts of SPF 70. So now as adults, we do the same thing to our children.
So let’s dig into the nuances of light — and a few vague memories from science class — and remember light isn’t just light. There’s an electromagnetic scale. This scale shows many different types of light and wavelengths, listed under various classifications.
Two groups — the visible light spectrum and infrared light — are often associated with light-emitting diode (LED) skin therapy and its healing effects. It’s an incredible use of light that’s proven to aid in healing and rejuvenating the body related to skincare and anti-aging.
