Autoimmune conditions affect 24 million Americans. Can red light therapy help manage symptoms?

How RLT May Help Autoimmune Conditions

1. Immune Modulation

RLT doesn’t just suppress or stimulate the immune system — it modulates it:

  • Calms overactive immune response
  • Reduces inflammatory cytokines
  • Promotes regulatory T cells

2. Inflammation Reduction

Chronic inflammation is the hallmark of autoimmune disease:

  • RLT reduces inflammatory markers
  • Calms tissue inflammation
  • May reduce flare frequency

3. Pain Relief

Autoimmune conditions often cause chronic pain:

  • RLT reduces pain signals
  • Improves joint function
  • Decreases reliance on pain medication

Conditions That May Benefit

Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Strong evidence for joint pain relief
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Improved function

Psoriasis

  • May slow cell turnover
  • Reduces plaque formation
  • Calms inflammation

Lupus

  • Limited research
  • May help with skin symptoms
  • Consult rheumatologist

Hashimoto’s

  • May reduce thyroid inflammation
  • Limited research
  • Consult endocrinologist

Important Cautions

  • Consult your doctor before starting RLT for autoimmune conditions
  • Don’t stop prescribed medications without medical guidance
