All You Need To Know About Firefly Light Therapy
How Does Firefly Therapy Work?
The Firefly emits multi-spectrum lights that help break up the inflammatory cycle simply by dilatating blood vessels and increasing your circulation.
The immune system and nervous system are stimulated by the light (photons) which increases activity and leads to faster repair of damaged tissue.
- Blue light affects the skin surface and lymph drainage
- Red light penetrates tissue and is absorbed by the blood; penetrates tissue ~1 cm ~ 3/8inch
- Near-Infrared penetrates tissue up to 20 cm ~8 inches
- Firefly Light Therapy utilizes multiple wavelengths of blue (12 each) ,red (5 each), and near-infrared (8 each)
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
This varies based on many factors, including chronicity of disease, strength of immune system, frequency of treatments, and much more. A series of 4 treatments is usually administered to evaluate effectiveness and determine the appropriate number of additional sessions.
Conditions Firefly Therapy Could Help Improve
- Auto-Immune Disorders
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Back Pain
- Bell’s Palsy
- Carpal Tunnel
- Diabetes Complications
- Fungal Infections
- Gut Issues/Parasites
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Severe Menstrual Cramps
- Neuropathies
- Osteoarthritis
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Plantar Fascitis
- Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke
- Wound Healing
What are the Advantages Compared To Other Therapies?
- Faster healing: Accelerates cell development in damaged tissue as well as stimulating bone and cartilage regeneration
- Anti-inflammatory action: Reduces swelling and accelerates healing times of soft tissue injuries
- Increased vascular activity: Results in an increase of microcirculation of lymphatic system and small blood vessels in injured tissue
- Stimulates nerve function: Accelerates the regeneration of damaged nerves.
- Fast: Typical treatment is between 10 and 20 minutes
- Nonpharmalogical: No hidden side effects
- Safe: Emits pure, non-ionizing light
- Non-invasive: Unlike painful injections, the skin is not physically penetrated
- Economical: Costs less than other therapy and offers greater benefits

Hydration is important
Before & after your session
The most critical part of any session is to hydrate your body with mineral water before and after
- A minimum of 8oz of mineral water is REQUIRED for your session to be successful.
- Redmond Real Salt is my preferred salt. Just add a small pinch to your water to allow your body to hydrate properly once a day.
- You're preferred mineral water is great too.
The truth is
While too much sodium in your diet can be unhealthy, skipping salt altogether isn't necessarily the solution. Sodium is a critical electrolyte that, along with potassium and chloride, helps to deliver water to your body's cells. That means a diet that's too low in sodium can actually increase your risk of dehydration. .
Hydration on a cellular level
- Around two-thirds of the water in your body is inside your cells.
- Your body’s water is stored in intercellular and extracellular compartments. Each compartment not only contains water but salt too.
- You usually have an equal balance of salt in intracellular and extracellular compartments, except when you’re dehydrated. When you’re dehydrated, salt decreases or increases in one of the compartments. This causes a change in pressure that triggers a shift in water from one compartment to another.
- When the body doesn’t have enough water, for example, the extracellular compartment takes water from the intercellular compartment, which causes cells to shrink worse than that wool sweater you accidentally threw into the dryer. (Redmond Real Salt)
Signs of dehydration
- Thirst and Dry Mouth: As a general rule, if you're thirsty, you are already dehydrated. It is important to be proactive about hydration and meet daily fluid intake recommendations. Fluid needs vary based on age, activity level, heat and altitude level, among other factors, but the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends women drink 9 cups of fluid per day and men drink 12.
- Headache: Lack of liquids can lead to restriction of blood vessels which decreases blood flow. When blood flow is decreased it can cause a headache and even trigger a migraine.
- Confusion: Decreased blood flow to the brain can make you feel disoriented, dizzy and confused. You may have problems with recall or have difficulty with finding the right words. Confusion can be an early sign of heat exhaustion. If you are warm and confused you should stop your current activity, seek shelter in a cool place and rehydrate.
- Muscle Cramps: Excessive sweating and lack of electrolytes can cause your muscles to seize or cramp. Dehydration cramps are typically felt in the legs, arms, abdomen and back. Dehydration leg cramps, sometimes called "Charley horses," can strike when you're asleep or during activity. Stretching and drinking fluids will help you rehydrate and ease muscle cramps.
- Dark Urine: If your urine is pale in color—similar to the color of straw—then you are properly hydrated. If your urine is dark yellow and bordering brown or orange, you are dehydrated and should stop what you are doing to rest and rehydrate.
Can dehydration cause low blood pressure?
Yes. Severe dehydration can cause a decrease in blood volume which results in a decrease in blood pressure. When your body can't deliver proper blood flow and oxygen to your organs, you can enter hypovolemic shock, or low blood volume shock. This is one of the most serious, sometimes life-threatening complications of dehydration.
Can dehydration cause heart palpitations?
Yes. For the same reason dehydration can cause low blood pressure, it can also cause heart palpitations. Palpitations are the feeling of a pounding, fast-beating or fluttering heart. When blood volume is decreased, the heart has to beat faster to try to continue to deliver oxygen to your organs. If you are experiencing heart palpitations you should stop what you are doing, rest in a cool location and drink water until your heart resumes a normal rhythm. (redihealth.org)
