Reflexology is a natural therapy that revitalizes body functioning and facilitates body cleansing. It involves stimulating zones, energy meridians, and reflex areas in the feet, hands, ears, and head that are connected to every part, gland, system, and organ of the body. This stimulation triggers the body's 'inner healing forces,' resulting in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Benefits of Reflexology

Stimulating specific points on the body, such as on the feet, relieves and corrects tension, congestion, and blockage of energy pathways. It also improves circulation and promotes the body's natural function, allowing it to heal itself. Reflexology helps release toxins, improves blood and lymph circulation, nerve function, digestion, balances hormones, strengthens the immune system, and promotes self-healing and wellness.

Reflexology Reduces Pain and Symptoms of Chronic Diseases

Reflexology demonstrates the co-relationship of all parts of the body, showing how gentle pressure or contact upon certain points or zones is effective in relieving pain or disease. Regular reflexology sessions can alleviate symptoms of chronic diseases such as arthritis, allergies, cancer, and diabetes, even when other treatments have failed.

Improving Quality of Life With Reflexology

Reflexology is safe for everyone and can encourage relaxation, reduce pain, and improve overall health and wellness. Incorporating regular professional reflexology sessions into your life can improve the function of all organs and glands in your body, enhancing your quality of life.

Reflexology Complements Other Therapies

Reflexology can support other therapies by reducing stress and tension, improving the flow of blood and lymph, and enhancing the effectiveness of other treatments. It can reduce the toxic side effects of therapies like chemotherapy and radiation therapy, leading to a better quality of life.

Cautions and Contraindications

While reflexology is generally safe, pregnant women and individuals under active medical care should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing reflexology. It is also important for individuals with certain conditions like gangrene, severe inflammation, infectious conditions, extreme sensitivity or individuals with unknown skin rash/condition or pain in the area to be worked to seek medical advice before starting reflexology.

LED (light-emitting diode) therapy uses low-level light in different colours and wavelengths along a electromagnetic spectrum to treat skin conditions and promote skin health. It helps with acne, eczema, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, psoriasis, hair loss and anti-aging. LED therapy reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation and blood pressure, aids in healing joint and chronic pain, muscle recovery, wound healing, hormonal health, mood, cognitive function, dementia, traumatic brain injury whereby decreasing PTSD symptoms, improving memory and verbal learning, energy, and quality of sleep. It increases collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. LED therapy is also used for dermatitis, rosacea, scarring, and sun damage. 

Infrared light therapy has even been thought to improve symptoms of CHF (congestive heart failure) by increasing nitric oxide production and relaxing the body's blood vessels (vasodilation). This increases cardiac output and lessens pulmonary congestion. Did you know infrared light therapy, specifically far-infrared therapy also has metabolic benefits as it has improved fasting blood sugar possibly due to an increase in blood flow, that facilitates glucose uptake from the blood.  Studies on near-infrared light therapy have found a significant reduction in lower back pain over a period of time (approximatley 7 weeks).  Reports of chronic pain reduction and better quality of life have also been found after use of far-infrared therapy. It's obvious just how powerful LED light therapy truly is in stimulating the body's natural processes for healing from within. 

Best Time for LED Light Therapy

LED therapy can be done any time of day. Some prefer it in the morning for a revitalizing start, while others use it before or after workouts for energy and recovery. Consistency is key, so fit it into your schedule when convenient for you.

Preparation for LED Light Therapy

Before LED therapy, cleanse your face without applying serums or moisturizers. Remove jewellry and please use no sunscreen or products on your body.

Clothing and Eye Protection

Wear minimal clothing during treatment, such as underwear and bra, during LED light therapy to ensure the area being treated is exposed and optimal treatment is achieved. LED light therapy only works on exposed skin. While eye protection is not required, it is recommended to avoid discomfort from staring directly at the LEDs. Protective goggles are provided by Energy1Wellness as a precautionary measure.

LED Light Therapy for Children

We do not do LED light therapy on infants. We can provide LED light therapy to children under adult supervision. Those under 12 should use half the dose recommended for adults.

Aftercare for LED Light Therapy

After LED therapy, moisturize with a fragrance-free, natural moisturizer. Drink plenty of fluids, wash your face gently in the evening, and avoid sun exposure. Wear SPF and avoid using topical products with retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids for a week unless advised otherwise.

Frequency of LED Light Therapy

For optimal results, use LED therapy at least 3-5 times a week for 4-5 weeks, or even daily. Results vary depending on goals and consistency, with benefits like increased muscle recovery and pain relief occurring relatively quickly, while skin health and improved sleep quality may take 8-12 weeks.

Safety Precautions and Contraindications

Do not use LED therapy on infants or if you have diseases involving the retina, are pregnant, have epilepsy, photo-allergy, photosensitizing medical conditions, or are taking photosensitizing drugs. Consult your doctor before using LED therapy if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medication. Avoid using LED therapy on open wounds or lesions.

Different LED Light Therapies

LED therapy uses different wavelengths, each corresponding to different colours and depths of skin penetration. Red light therapy targets the outer skin layer, stimulating collagen production. Blue light therapy targets oil glands to reduce acne. Other wavelengths include amber, yellow, green, purple, cyan, orange, white, and infrared, all absorbed into the skin without harmful ultraviolet light.

Did you know that light therapy was originally  developed by NASA in the 1980s to grow plants in space but subsequently was found to have human health benefits? Infrared light is invisible to the naked eye but can be felt as heat. It's used for non-thermal applications such as healing and energy production. NIR (near-infrared) therapy uses LEDs for deeper penetration and cellular up-regulation, and can penetrate through the scalp and the skull (as far as about 4 cm in depth), thereby increasing vasodilation, nitric oxide production and cerebral blood flow as well as increases energy production (ATP) in mitochondria of our cells, while FIR (far-infrared) therapy, found in infrared saunas, uses heat for detox and therapy.  FIR therapy can include NIR as well.

Infrared Light Therapy for Athletes & Fitness Enthusiasts

NIR therapy is popular among athletes for muscle recovery, pain, and fatigue relief. It improves circulation, delivering nutrients and oxygen to muscles for faster recovery and reduced soreness, optimizing training results.

Infrared Light Therapy for Professionals & Desk Workers

For individuals with postural issues and muscle tension from prolonged sitting or computer use, infrared light therapy promotes relaxation, enhances circulation, and prevents strains and injuries.

Benefits of Infrared Heating

FIR heating relaxes muscles, reduces stiffness, improves circulation, activates metabolism, relieves pain, and boosts overall health, including cardiovascular health and immune function. Some claim it might even improve high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia and chronic pain.

Infrared Sauna Therapy Precautions, Risks & Safety Considerations

• Stay Hydrated Before, During and After Use as this therapy can cause dehydration, drops in blood pressure, decreased body weight, and increased urine volume; these can be exacerbatede when taking medications like diuretics or antihypertensives. Caution is warranted
• Conditions including unstable angina, a recent heart attack (myocardial infarction), or severe heart valvular disease (aortic stenosis) should be considered contraindications to sauna use
• Start With Shorter Sessions and Gradually Increase Duration
• Limit Use to Once Per Day
• Do Not Cover Face or Head During Use (e.g. with sauna therapy blanket)
• Consult Healthcare Provider Before Use if Pregnant or Have Medical Conditions

Considerations, Similarities & Differences of Red Light, Near & Far-Infrared Therapies

• Red, NIR, and FIR Therapies Offer Non-Thermal Benefits
• Benefits Include Skin Health, Energy Levels, Mental Health, Circulation, Anti-Aging, Brain Health, Recovery, Lymphatic Flow, Pain Relief, and Wound Healing
• If hair loss and skin rejuvenation are a priority, red and near-infrared ligh will be most beneficial
• If cardiovascular health is a priority, far-infrared therapy will be most beneficial
• If cognitive function is a priority, consider near-infrared light therapy
• Near and far-infrared therapies have both shown to relieve specific type of pain
• Some infrared therapy devices are "full spectrum", meaning they can generate far, mid, and near infrared-radiation wavelengths 

LED light therapy offers a wide range of benefits for skin and overall health, with each colour providing unique advantages. Infrared light therapy, whether through LEDs or heating devices, promotes healing, pain relief, and various health benefits. Athletes, professionals, and individuals can all benefit from incorporating these therapies into their wellness routines, with proper precautions and guidance.
