Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a new therapy for depression and anxiety that uses near-infrared light (810-1700 nanometers) to enhance mitochondrial metabolism by interacting with cytochrome c oxidase, which improves cerebral blood flow, reduces inflammation, inhibits cell death, and promotes neurogenesis (new neuron formation); this light can be obtained naturally from sunlight or through PBM machines.

The New Light Therapy Transforming Mental Health | Dr. Neil NedleyAdded:
One of the newest proven therapies to help depression and anxiety and other mental illnesses photobiomodulation.
This is near infrared light of 810 nanometers up to 1,700 nanometers. How is it working? It enhances mitochondrial metabolism. The near infrared energy interacts with the cytochrome c oxidase system and this improves cerebral blood flow or brain flow, reduces inflammation, inhibits cell death, and it improves neurogenesis, meaning more neurons can form.
Pretty powerful. You can get this from the sun or you can get it from a PBM machine.
