Okay, if you have been hearing more about red light therapy lately, there is a reason!
It is an easy, yet powerful tool for your health, especially after having a baby. Here are a few benefits that could possibly change your postpartum recovery:
π¨Faster Healing-whether you have a c-section incision or traumatized your perineum, red light therapy can speed up the healing process and minimize scarring
π¨Increase Milk Supply and Possibly Help Treat Mastitis
π¨Decrease Inflammation- either from the birth itself or breasts/nipple inflammation
π¨Lessen Muscle and Joint Pain- after childbirth, it is common to have aches and pains since your body just did a rigorous workout. Red light therapy can help alleviate those aches and decrease inflammation tissues.
π¨Reduce Postpartum Hair Loss- can stimulate hair follicles and increase energy production in cells, helping to extend the hair growth phase and minimize shedding.
π¨Combat Postpartum Skin Issues- whether it's acne or dark spot changes, red light therapy reduced inflammation and kills bacteria that causes skin problems as well as promotes skin cell regeneration.
π¨Improve Mood and Energy- enhances mitochondrial function, which increases cellular energy production. This can help combat the fatigue and "mom brain" fog.
π¨Support Better Sleep- can help regulate your circadian rhythm by boosting melatonin production.
The benefits of red light therapy speak for themselves and this simple step could make a huge difference in your postpartum journey.
If you live in the west suburbs of Chicago, I highly recommend checking out the redlight bed at Empower Wellness in Sycamore, IL!
