Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UVBI), also known as Red Light Therapy or Photobiomodulation, is a therapeutic technique which exposes the blood to ultraviolet (UV) light. This procedure has gained attention in recent years for its potential health benefits and applications in various medical conditions.
When we perform Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation at Greenhouse Natural Medicine, we draw blood from the patient and run it through quartz crystal tubes, which are exposed to high intensity bulbs. The blood is irradiated with UV light from the bulbs, as well as red, amber, blue, and green light, before returning to the body.
While the blood is exposed to the ultraviolet light, pathogens and bacteria are killed and the blood becomes charged with more energy from the light. The entire procedure takes about one hour and has been shown to improve multiple health conditions along with overall health.
UVBI works on the principle that specific wavelengths of UV light can have therapeutic effects on blood. When blood is exposed to UV light, it undergoes photochemical reactions. The light triggers the formation of singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species, which have been shown to have antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Additionally, UVBI may help stimulate the production of nitric oxide, a molecule involved in vasodilation (widening of the blood vessels for improved flow) and immune regulation.
At Greenhouse Natural Medicine, we offer UVBI with the full spectrum of light, because there are unique benefits to each wavelength.
