Ep. 088 How Near Infrared Light Heals Your Brain

Can light really heal the brain? In this episode of Limbic Light, we dive deep into the fascinating world of transcranial near-infrared (NIR) therapy—a breakthrough approach for brain and mental health.

🔦 What’s Inside:

• How NIR light penetrates the skull and impacts the brain
• Its role in boosting blood flow and regenerating brain cells
• Conditions that may benefit, from brain fog to stroke recovery
• LED vs. laser devices – which works best?
• The most crucial factor for effective light therapy
• How to target specific brain areas for maximum benefit

We also explore dosage, safety precautions, and groundbreaking insights from Michael Hamblin’s research. Plus, host Maniisha shares her own experience with this transformative therapy.

Tune in now and discover how light could be the missing piece in brain health!
