What is long COVID?
With long COVID, also known as post-COVID, you continue to experience symptoms for weeks or months after a coronavirus infection. Some people have mild symptoms, while for others it has a major impact on their daily lives.
Symptoms of long COVID
Long COVID manifests itself in various ways. The most common symptoms are chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty exercising, and muscle and joint pain. You may also experience heart palpitations, headaches, brain fog, sleep problems, and mood swings.
How can red light therapy help with long COVID?
Red light therapy can help with long COVID by stimulating the mitochondria, improving blood flow and restarting the body's own processes. This involves intranasal laser therapy, whereby red light can reach the body via the nose.
Poorly functioning mitochondria play a major role in long COVID. Using red light stimulates the mitochondria, giving you more energy, reducing inflammatory responses and improving oxygen supply. Read more here about how intranasal red light therapy helps in the recovery process from long COVID.
Is the use of red light therapy for long COVID scientifically proven?
Yes, the use of red light therapy for long COVID is scientifically substantiated, and the evidence is growing. There is evidence that this therapy can be effective in alleviating long COVID symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, muscle pain, and breathing difficulties.
Which device is best to treat long COVID?
The IN-light laser is suitable for use in the treatment of long COVID. It is an intranasal laser device that administers red light through the nose. This stimulates the mitochondria and triggers the body's own processes, potentially resulting in the above benefits.
