Pregnancy and child birth are special events in women\u2019s lives. Whether a Caesarean section birth <\/strong>is an elective or an emergency procedure, the wounds<\/strong> can cause discomfort and frustration for the mother of the baby. Since a C-section<\/strong> entails cutting through multiple layers of skin and muscle to reach the womb, it\u2019s normal to experience pain<\/strong> and possibly inflammation<\/strong>, in the first few weeks after baby is born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light therapy<\/strong> helps to decrease the pain and inflammation associated with both acute and chronic wounds<\/strong>, making it the ideal solution for mothers recovering from a C-section birth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Red and infrared light therapy<\/strong> is an effective and safe remedy for helping to reduce the pain<\/strong> and inflammation commonly associated with wounds. It can penetrate deep through the layers of the skin and because it enhances and improves circulation<\/strong> in the skin and other parts of the body, it can bring oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues, promoting healing. It helps ease pain, relieve inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some of the benefits of using light therapy to treat C-section wounds include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • It is safe, natural, non-invasive, and painless<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It increases microcirculation and formation of new capillaries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The wound area receives more oxygen and nutrients <\/strong>to help with the natural wound healing process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promotes lymph system activity \u2013 this helps with detoxification of the wound<\/strong> without overtaxing the lymph system and prevents lymphoedema<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cleans up dead cells<\/strong>: boosted blood circulation helps with cleaning up dead or damaged cells, including dead bacteria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promotes collagen<\/strong> and elastin production in the final wound healing phases<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Helps to release ATP (raw cellular energy) which gives energy to the damaged cells<\/strong> in the wound so they can heal better and faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
