Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that involves exposing the body to low-wavelength red light. It has been investigated as a potential treatment for various mental health conditions, including:



  • Seasonal affective disorder (SAD): RLT has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of SAD, such as depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
  • Major depression: Some studies have suggested that RLT may be helpful in treating major depression, especially in individuals who do not respond well to traditional treatments like medication or therapy.
  • Anxiety: RLT may have a calming effect on the brain and could potentially reduce symptoms of anxiety.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): There is limited evidence to suggest that RLT may be beneficial for reducing symptoms of PTSD, such as nightmares and flashbacks.

How it Works:

Red Light Therapy (RLT) may stimulate the release of endorphins, which have natural mood-boosting effects. It can also help increase levels of serotonin and dopamine—key neurotransmitters that play a crucial role in regulating mood and overall well-being. Additionally, RLT may improve blood flow to the brain, potentially enhancing cognitive function.


While generally considered safe, RLT can cause mild side effects such as eye strain, headaches, or skin irritation. As with any therapeutic treatment, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting RLT, as it may not be suitable for everyone.
