In the ever-evolving field of health and wellness, innovative therapies that harness the power of light for healing continue to emerge. One such cutting-edge technique is sublingual photobiomodulation, a method that utilizes low-level laser or LED light therapy applied directly under the tongue. This non-invasive therapy has gained attention for its potential to enhance cellular function, improve systemic health, and optimize cognitive performance. It can also be utilized in conjunction with methylene blue. What is Sublingual Photobiomodulation? [caption id="attachment_2480" align="alignright" width="350"] Photonx Energy Station[/caption] Photobiomodulation (PBM) refers to the application of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate biological processes at the cellular level. Traditionally, PBM has been used for skin treatments, muscle recovery, and neurological health. However, sublingual PBM takes this concept a step further by delivering light directly to the highly vascularized tissues beneath the tongue. This region offers direct access to the bloodstream, facilitating rapid absorption and systemic effects. By treating the blood, it is effective for many viruses and affects cells directly, something that cannot be done when applied to the skin. Our machine is pictured at right. It goes further by including blue and green lights, which have other benefits. The Science Behind Sublingual Photobiomodulation The...

We have a new service that we are extremely excited about. Some of you may have heard of ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVB) for killing bacteria and viruses, or the use of lasers over injuries for healing. Different types of light therapy include infrared red light such as that used in saunas, a low-level laser which is applied externally for injuries, and light therapy for use in the winter for depression. Now, we have a device that provides Photobiomodulation* (PBM) and can deliver a variety of different wavelengths throughout the entire circulation of the body. This device is called a Photonx Energy Station. This is the latest technology for delivering different wavelengths of light directly to the bloodstream. The light is delivered under the tongue to the vascular bed, and comparative studies demonstrate this is the best method; better than intravenous or merely delivering the light over the skin. A crazy thing about light therapy is how many names it has. The currently preferred name is Photobiomodulation but that's a pretty scientific and difficult name. We at NatureMed like to call it light therapy. Other common terms that mean the same thing are: red light therapy, cold laser therapy, nonthermal LED...
