If you suffer from ME/CFS, you're probably extremely tired every day. This fatigue does not go away, no matter how much you rest. Red light therapy can help to treat ME/CFS. Read here how the red light works and how you can treat yourself.
What is ME/CFS?
ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) is a chronic condition that causes extreme fatigue. The fatigue does not disappear even after rest. This condition usually involves a combination of physical, neurological and cognitive symptoms.
Symptoms of ME/CFS
The condition ME/CFS can manifest itself in various ways. Extreme fatigue occurs in almost everyone. In addition, you may experience concentration problems, brain fog, dizziness, and sleep problems. You may also experience symptoms such as muscle or joint pain and headaches.
How can red light therapy help with ME/CFS?
Red light therapy can help with ME/CFS by stimulating the mitochondria and improving blood flow. This gives your cells more energy, reduces inflammation, stimulates your tissues and provides the body with more oxygen.
This involves intranasal red light therapy, whereby red light is administered through the nose so that it can affect the entire body. Red light can also help with mental health issues, such as concentration problems and sleep problems.

The IN-light laser is best used for ME/CFS. This device is used with a nose clip, allowing the red light to work systemically on the entire body. This makes it possible to treat ME/CFS from within.
