EZ At-Home Light Therapy For Substance Withdrawal
What Is EZ At-Home Laser Light Therapy For Withdrawal?
EZ At-Home Laser light therapy is a system of self treatment to stimulate energy points (a.k.a. acupuncture points) with gentle laser light instead of acupuncture needles. It is increasingly being recognized as an effective method and adjunct therapy for helping people get through the withdrawal symptom process related to quitting smoking, nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, sugar and more.
Treatment is traditionally administered by a professionally trained laser therapist in a clinic setting utilizing sophisticated low level laser therapy (LLLT). However, with the decreasing cost of at-home red/NIR LED light devices — Lazer Dave (Light Therapy Expert & Wellness Coach) has created the EZ Light Therapy Guide Books and Video Tutorials so people can learn to treat themselves safely in the comfort of their own home and at a fraction of the cost of professional clinic based services .
The purpose of the EZ Light Therapy Protocols is to decrease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, making it much easier to quit various substances including nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, sugar and more. It does this in one way by promoting the strong release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine and serotonin — which are the body’s natural feel good chemicals.
In addition — it is theorized that LLLT and at-home red and NIR LED light therapy can have very positive effects on the nervous system (including the brain) by promoting neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections.
Light Therapy & The Nervous System
Scientific studies are showing that light therapy has positive effects on the nervous system, cognitive function and neuroplasticity. Laser does this by promoting neurogenesis — the formation of new neurological tissue. The theory is that this also helps make it easier for people to adapt to the stress of change, learn new things and also adopt healthier habits more readily which is very helpful when people want to quit a bad habit to fill the gap.
Light Therapy Is Safe
At-home light therapy is non-invasive, relaxing and well-tolerated by most people. Minor potential side effects include tiredness post first/second treatment but this is often viewed as a positive side effect since light therapy usually helps people to relax and sleep better. In general, red and NIR light therapy is viewed as a very low-risk and safe treatment option.
How Many Light Therapy Treatments Will I Need?
The amount of at-home light therapy treatments required to effect withdrawal and craving symptoms in a positive way can vary to a degree. Quitting smoking usually has quick turn around and with with 1-3 mini daily sessions — many find it can dramatically increase the results of their quitting smoking efforts. At-home light therapy can also help people deal with the withdrawal symptoms from other substances such as alcohol, marijuana, sugar and more.
The best part about the simple to learn EZ Light Therapy at-home treatment system approach is that you can treat yourself frequently the first week and then less as your withdrawal and/or cravings improve.
