Hello, September! Try HaloRed’s Mood & Stress-Busting Therapy to Start Your Month with a Glow
Hey Ventura friends — welcome to September! As the days slowly shorten and kids head back to school, this month is the perfect time to reset and recharge. Let’s talk about a HaloRed therapy you haven’t tried yet: red/NIR light for stress, mood elevation, and mental clarity — a total game-changer as we transition into fall.
Why Red Light Therapy is the Ultimate Mood Booster
Sure, HaloRed’s skin, recovery, and immune benefits are fantastic—but have you considered how it supports mental and emotional wellness? Emerging research shows that red light (especially in the far-red/near-infrared range) can:
Improve sleep quality
Elevate mood and reduce anxiety
Enhance cognitive clarity
1. Sleep Better, Feel Better
Light plays a powerful role in regulating your internal clock. A study of student-athletes found that 14 consecutive nights of full-body red-light therapy improved sleep quality (measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and increased nightly melatonin levels significantly compared to a placebo group. Better sleep equals better mood! (Koo et al., 2016)
2. Mood and Mental Energy
While most people think of light therapy in the context of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and use bright cool light in the morning, research is uncovering that red/NIR wavelengths may also positively influence emotional processing by reducing inflammation and supporting brain energy metabolism. Early human trials are showing improved mood ratings and reduced cortisol levels after regular sessions. (Emerging area—stay tuned for updates!)
3. Focus and Clarity
For tasks that demand attention—writing, strategizing, or creating—a burst of red/NIR light may help sharpen focus by stimulating mitochondrial activity in your brain’s cells, improving neuronal efficiency and cognition.
September Special: Shine Bright with HaloRed
Imagine a cozy, spa-like booth, gentle red/NIR wavelengths enveloping you, and subtle ambient music guiding you into relaxation—all while you breathe in the therapeutic salt mist (if you choose HaloRed with halotherapy). It’s like a warm embrace for your nervous system.
Here’s why it’s the ultimate self-care ritual this fall:
Stress Relief: Red/NIR light down-regulates stress markers and can help your nervous system settle after a hectic day.
Mood Lift: Whether you’ve had a tough week or just need a natural pick-me-up, this therapy feels calming and centering.
Mind Reset: After a session, clients often say they feel clear-headed and refreshed—“like hitting the reset button.”
Deeper Relaxation: The optional HaloCBD layer supports even more zen, blending CBD’s calming effects with the light’s cellular recharge.
What Science Says (So Far)
Better Sleep & Circadian Harmony – The 2016 student-athlete study showed red-light significantly improved sleep quality and melatonin levels. (Koo et al., 2016)
Emerging Mood Benefits – Photobiomodulation’s anti-inflammatory effects and energy boost to brain cells are plausible mechanisms for mood improvement (represented in neuroimaging and mood-monitoring studies under way).
How to Bring More Calm, Focus, and Glow to Your Fall
Begin with a series of HaloRed sessions — even once or twice a week can lay the foundation for better mental clarity and stress relief.
Pair it with gratitude journaling — write one thing you're grateful for before or after your session to anchor the calm.
Follow with a nourishing tea or mindful breathwork — let your post-light energy settle into deeper relaxation.
