LIGHT COLOUR THERAPY SYSTEMANCIENT
LIGHT THERAPY
The use of light
therapy in medicine has a long history. The first light source used in photo
medicine was natural sun light. Even in ancient Egypt sunlight was used for
medical treatments. Later Hippocrates described the use of sunlight to cure
various medical disorders. Although sunlight therapy had no scientific
explanations at the time, the healing power was clear, and Roman and Arabian
physicians brought light therapy into general medical use.
MODERN LIGHT THERAPY
The
Danish physician Niels Ryberg Finsen
founded modern light therapy about a 100 years ago. In 1903 he was awarded the
Noble Prize for medicine for his work on light therapy. Finsen was the first to
develop the first device to generate technically synthesized sunrays. There are
clear advantages for using technically synthesized rays for example the
parameters of intensity and the emitted light spectrum are controllable and are
therefore reproducible.
DEVELOPMENT
OF THE BIOPTRON LIGHT
At
the beginning of the development of photo medicine mostly infrared and ultra
violet parts of the spectrum were used in modern light therapy. In 1981 a
Hungarian research team created a light source that was originally based on
laser therapy, but worked with a combination of visible light and infrared
radiation. The team considered polarisation of light as an important parameter.
Based on this technology the Bioptron Light therapy system was created.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE BIOPTRON LIGHT
THE
BIOPTRON LIGHT THERAPY SYSTEM IS BASED ON THE
FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS
POLARISATION
Bioptron
light is polarised light. This means that its waves move in parallel planes. In
the Bioptron light polarisation reaches a degree of 95 %
POLYCHROMY
Bioptron
light is a Polychromatic light which means it not only contains one wave length
(like laser light) but a wide range including visible light and part of
the infrared range. The wave length of the Bioptron Light ranges from 480nm to
3400nm. The Bioptron electromagnetic does not contain UV radition.
INCOHERENCY
As
apposed to laser light, Bioptron light is incoherent or out of phase light. This
means that light waves are synchronized.
LOW
ENERGY
Bioptron
light has a low energy density(fluence) This
energy density has biostimulative effects. This means, that light can stimulate
various biological processes in the body in a positive way.
BIOSTIMULATION
Bioptron
light has biostimulative effects
when applied to the skin it stimulates light sensitive intra cellular chain
reactions and triggers so called secondary responses, which are not only limited
to the treated skin area, but can involve the whole body. Bioptron light Therapy
stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes as well as the
processes of the human defence system.
Bioptron
Light Therapy acts in a natural way by supporting the regenerative
capacity of the body and there helps the body release its own healing potential.
The
use of Bioptron Light as a therapeutic tool has been popular in a variety of
applications in the last ten years.
Main Treatment
Indications
The use of BIOPTRON Light as a
therapeutic tool has been popular in a variety of applications since its
development
more than 10 years ago. Main treatment indications for the BIOPTRON Light Therapy are in:
