At New Path Health & Wellness, we don’t recommend anything we wouldn’t use ourselves.
Red light therapy isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we rely on daily in our own home to support healing, comfort, and overall wellness.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to penetrate the skin and support the body at a cellular level. These wavelengths help improve circulation, calm inflammation, and support the body’s natural repair process.
Rather than covering up symptoms, red light therapy works with your body, helping it function more efficiently from the inside out.
The Science Behind Red Light Therapy
Red and NIR light stimulate the mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses” of the cell. When mitochondria are exposed to these wavelengths, they can produce energy (ATP) more effectively.
Research shows red light therapy may:
⚡ Improve cellular energy (ATP) production
🩸 Increase blood flow and oxygen delivery
🔥 Reduce inflammation
🧬 Support tissue repair and recovery
🧘♀️ Help calm and regulate the nervous system
This cellular support is why red light therapy is used in medical, athletic, and rehabilitation settings and why we’ve made it part of our wellness approach.
Who Can Use Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy is safe for nearly all ages, from children to adults and seniors.
For babies and very young children, we recommend reduced exposure, shorter sessions and lower intensity since their bodies are more sensitive. A little truly goes a long way.
Where Can You Use Red Light Therapy?
One of the things we love most about red light therapy is how versatile it is. It can be used almost anywhere on the body, depending on what you’re supporting.
Common uses include:
🤕 Headaches and tension
🤢 Stomachaches and digestive discomfort
😷 Sore throats
🦵 Achy knees and joints
🌸 Menstrual cramps
💢 Back pain and muscle soreness
The deeper penetration of NIR light makes it especially helpful for muscles, joints, and areas of inflammation.
When Should You Use Red Light Therapy?
There’s no “perfect” time, any time of day works.
Morning use can feel energizing and help you start the day strong.
Evening use, especially on the face, is calming and relaxing and can help your body wind down before bed.
Many people naturally find a rhythm that works best for them.
How We Use Red Light Therapy Every Day
We personally use red light therapy every single day. For headaches, sore throats, stomachaches, cramps, muscle soreness, and general aches that pop up during busy life. The warmth alone is comforting, and the deep penetration helps calm inflammation and support healing.
Our children use red light therapy regularly, too. It’s one of the first things we reach for when someone doesn’t feel quite right. We love that it’s gentle, non-invasive, and something the whole family feels comfortable using.
Because we’ve seen how effective it is in our own home, we feel confident offering it to the families and individuals we serve.
Our Approach at New Path Health & Wellness
At New Path Health & Wellness, our goal is always to help you get to the root of what’s going on, not just manage symptoms. Red light therapy is one of the simple, supportive tools we trust to help the body do what it was designed to do: heal and recover.
When you work with us, you’re not just getting recommendations, you’re getting tools we truly believe in.
