As Forrest points out, it’s not so much about mimicking the technical specifications of other UV lights on the market, but rather understanding where that light is going in our body and which molecules are being triggered.
UV light does play an important role in delivering oxygen to our blood, which can help our recovery when we are suffering from an injury. Learn all about how our UV light interacts with our hemoglobin and the benefits of red light therapy in this illuminating interview.
Red light therapy and the work that Kineon is doing with their technology is an important area of wellness as we seek out natural solutions to joint pain that doesn’t involve pharmaceuticals and painkillers.
If you know of anyone dealing with pain, this is a phenomenal episode to send to them. Sharing is caring! Let’s dive into the show!
“If you have chronic inflammation, in a joint or soft tissue, being able to increase the blood flow and oxygen delivery to that space has been really, really effective.“
-Forrest Smith
