Red light therapy for rhinitis
Rhinitis is an unpleasant but common condition. It causes various cold symptoms, with a blocked or runny nose as the main complaint. Red light therapy can help to treat these symptoms. Read here what red light can do for you and how you can treat yourself.
What is rhinitis?
Rhinitis is also known as a cold or inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes. It often causes a blocked nose or a runny nose. It often occurs acutely, just like a common cold, but it can also be chronic. We are referring here to NHG rhinitis, the non-allergic variant.
This condition can also be caused by an allergy. This is referred to as allergic rhinitis. It is often triggered by pollen, animals or mould, for example.
Symptoms of rhinitis
The symptoms of rhinitis are very similar to those of a “normal” cold. You may suffer from a blocked or runny nose, sneezing and itching in the throat, nose and eyes. You may also have watery eyes, increased mucus production, reduced sense of smell and taste, and pressure around the nose and forehead.
How can red light therapy help with rhinitis?
Intranasal laser therapy can help with rhinitis, whereby red light is used via the nose to stimulate the entire body. It helps to reduce inflammation in the nose, accelerate the recovery process of the nasal mucosa and alleviate other irritations. In addition, intranasal laser therapy works systematically, strengthening your immune system and making you less susceptible to bacteria and viruses.
Has the use of red light for rhinitis been scientifically proven?
Yes, intranasal red light therapy for rhinitis is scientifically proven. Studies show that it reduces inflammation in the nose, improves blood flow and can relieve symptoms such as a blocked nose, itching and sneezing.
Both people with allergic and non-allergic rhinitis experience relief from their symptoms thanks to red light. It is a safe and natural treatment that supports the body's own processes.
Which device is best for rhinitis?
The IN-light Pro is suitable for use in cases of rhinitis and other cold symptoms. It is an intranasal laser device that supports the body from within.
Treatment protocol for rhinitis with the IN-light laser
Our guideline for the IN-light is to use the laser twice a day for half an hour. When you purchase the device, you can use the manual to calculate the exact treatment duration based on your age and weight.
