IN-light for chronic colds and rhinitis

According to research, as many as 30% of people suffer from rhinitis. 50% of these cases are caused by allergies. In this indication, we explain how IN-light can help if you suffer from chronic colds or (allergic) rhinitis. Includes scientific information and a treatment protocol.

What can IN-light do for chronic colds and (allergic) rhinitis?

Allergic reactions are an overreaction of our immune system to allergens. These harmless allergens are seen by the body as a threat. This is also how it works when rhinitis is the result of an allergy. As a result, allergies can also be seen as the result of an incorrect defensive reaction by the immune system. Red light therapy from IN-light can help strengthen the immune system. Here are some other ways red light can help with allergic rhinitis and chronic colds:

  • Improving blood circulation;
  • Inhibiting inflammation, such as irritation in the airways;
  • Balancing the immune system;
  • Reducing allergic reactions by reducing histamine release;
  • Ensuring better breathing.

Benefits of IN-light red light therapy for chronic colds and rhinitis

Intranasal red light therapy can provide relief for (allergic) rhinitis and chronic colds, as well as asthma and even hay fever. Below you can read about the known benefits of this form of light therapy for these conditions.

1. It reduces inflammation

The red light helps to reduce swelling and irritation in the airways, among other things.

2. It stimulates recovery processes

Red light promotes tissue repair and reduces mucus production. This significantly reduces cold symptoms and other related complaints.

3. It regulates the immune system

It strengthens the immune system. This helps reduce or even prevent allergic reactions and clears the airways, ensuring balance in the T cells.

4. It improves levels of (anti)oxidants

This also counteracts excessive ROS (reactive oxygen species) and ensures cellular homeostasis.

Why does red light therapy work for these conditions?

Here we explain how low-level light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) can support the body at a cellular level, specifically in cases of chronic colds and rhinitis. One of the most important mechanisms of action is the stimulation of the natural antioxidant system. This system plays a central role in restoring the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in the body, an imbalance that is often present in inflammatory reactions, such as those associated with allergies and chronic nasal conditions.

In the 1990s, scientists investigated the effects of laser blood irradiation as a complementary, non-pharmaceutical therapy. These studies showed that this form of light therapy had a clear stimulating effect on the antioxidant system in the blood. This is important in conditions such as chronic colds and rhinitis, in which oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation play a role.

The researchers observed that cells showed signs of recovery sooner than when conventional treatment alone was used. Light therapy normalised cellular functions, enabling the body to better regulate inflammatory processes and reduce symptoms naturally.

Experiences of users with chronic colds or rhinitis

"Last year, I started using the PBM Clip to optimise my blood, something I am very interested in as a lifestyle physiotherapist. I had been suffering from chronic sinusitis for years, but after two weeks of using the laser, my symptoms decreased significantly. I was breathing more deeply, my resting heart rate was lower and I recovered faster after exercise. To test the effect, I stopped using the laser, and within four weeks my symptoms returned. When I started using the laser again, the pressure decreased and I felt much better. The effect is immediately noticeable and it is good for my athletic performance. It is a small effort for big results, and it works completely naturally without side effects."

‘Your home laser is the first thing that has really helped me in 30 years of chronic colds and fatigue due to ME! I never have a cold anymore! I have much more energy and my mood has also improved greatly.’
