This paper will be a brief overview to certain types of light therapy, and discuss how and why healing with light can easily be added to anyone’s healthcare routine or healing practice. Since the subject of light therapy is so vast, this paper will concentrate primarily on low level light therapy (LLLT) from LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which produce minimal to no heat. Lasers can also produce low level light therapy. The difference in LEDs and lasers is the type of light they produce; with LED light waves being incoherent or dispersed, and laser light waves being coherent or focused.
