Fatigue is a symptom of long COVID that affects many patients. For many people, this fatigue is so extreme that they are unable to continue their daily lives as before. Red light therapy is a way to reduce long COVID symptoms that has already helped many people. Read here to find out exactly what red light does.
Red light therapy can certainly contribute to the treatment of long COVID fatigue. Many long COVID patients suffer from extreme fatigue, and red light can help the body to produce more energy. It works through photobiomodulation, which stimulates the mitochondria in the cells. By “recharging” these mitochondria, your body gets more energy to heal itself.
Dutch scientific research has shown that mitochondrial function is the problem in long COVID. Red light therapy, for example from IN-light, stimulates these mitochondria.
Red light can certainly contribute to other long COVID symptoms and post-COVID complaints. For example, many people with long COVID also suffer from brain fog, concentration problems and a weaker immune system. Because red light stimulates the body's own processes, these complaints can also be significantly reduced. In addition, it also contributes to reducing pain and inflammation and promoting sleep quality.
There are different forms of red light therapy, such as topical via the skin and intranasal. Intranasal red light therapy is the best method for treating long COVID symptoms. This form of light therapy works by using a small laser through the nose. This stimulates the entire blood, giving many cells the opportunity to be recharged.
Intranasal red light therapy administers red light through the nose. There are many blood vessels in the nose, so the light shines almost directly on the blood. Through the nose, the red light influences blood circulation and cellular processes, such as the recharging of the mitochondria. This can significantly reduce fatigue and other post-COVID symptoms. Many studies have been conducted on this form of light therapy for long COVID, with extremely good results.
This form of light therapy has a systemic effect, which means it affects the entire body. The red light affects the entire circulation via the small blood vessels in the nose.
Red light stimulates the mitochondria in the cells. These are the “energy factories” and this can contribute to the recovery of energy processes that are often disrupted in long COVID.
This form of red light therapy is non-invasive and does not require any physical effort. This is beneficial for people who have little energy. You simply insert the laser into your nose and continue with what you were doing. This means you can also have a session while resting.
Red light not only gives you more energy, but also helps with recovery after exercise. It also has benefits for mental health. Many people report a significant reduction in brain fog and an improvement in their overall mood.
Intranasal red light therapy can be used effectively as a complementary method to other therapies. It can also enhance their effect and contribute to the recovery process. It is therefore suitable for use as additional support and does not require you to neglect other therapies.
The IN-light Pro is an intranasal red light therapy device that can be used for long COVID symptoms. Many long COVID patients who use the IN-light have had very positive experiences with the laser device.
