Photobiomodulation (PBM), or light therapy, is like food for your cells. Unfortunately, most people do not get the proper amount of healthy light their bodies need for optimal wellbeing. Because of this, their bodies may respond with detox-like symptoms.

As always, if you have any concerns regarding the use of photobiomodulation, we recommend that you consult with a trusted healthcare provider.
