The US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has listed "Light Therapy" as a practice that involves "veritable forms of energy that include those involving electromagnetic fields". The benefits of light therapy delivered this way is also explained by the modern understanding of photobiology and "photobiomodulation" at cellular level.

As acupuncture seeks to do, Qi-Light supports the key principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) of attaining wellness through the liberation of "Qi" in the "meridian" network. Some people just call this the "Nose-clip Qi Machine". Qi-Light achieves this by illuminating the nasal cavity with a selected wavelength of light under managed energy dosage. It is a new portable complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modality device and a prominent "blood irradiation therapy" that avoids needles and invasive procedures. In many Eastern European and Asian locations, blood irradiation therapies are widely accepted in clinical practices.

It succeeds in improving Qi (and blood) flow through improved blood properties as a CAM modality, and scientific evidence provides bases and explanation with regards to the mechanisms that lead to these improvements. Published scientific studies identify improved blood circulation with recovery from various diseases and health disorders. There are also studies that associate light therapy with efficacies. In 2002 FDA approved light therapy that uses a similar wavelength to Qi-light for pain management.

One purpose of this website is to provide education with regard to these relatively low profile discoveries.

A free study paper providing details of this blood irradiation therapy as related to the concept of TCM and Qi is also available here.

In the Tradition of Real Chinese Medicine

Many people seek TCM to help with many ailments and health disorders through modalities such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy and qigong practices. The key behind the potency of TCM is the quality of the flow of Qi. Since it was translated into a western language in the 1930s, Qi has been translated into some kind of "energy" or "force". But the literal translation of the texts in the right context says that Qi is "air" or "breath".

Some scientific historians go on to argue that when translated correctly, what we commonly understand as "meridian"in the TCM context should be the blood vascular network. That means that in TCM blood circulation is the key to wellness, and Qi encompasses the oxygen molecules that the red blood cells carry - the factor that nourishes the tissues in the body.

A deeper discussion of TCM in today's context is presented on the relevant page.


The Science is in the Blood Circulation

With these facts, and to put it simply, the light therapy successfully enables unimpeded Qi flow (which can be recognized as mainly about blood circulation). The method here is in line with the main aim of acupuncture without the insertion of a needle. And the outcomes are found to be predictable, backed by scientific bases. There are also a number of studies that identify blood irradiation with light like this to be able to improve blood circulation.

Evidence shows that it is effective for lowering high blood pressure, addresses diabetic condition, improve immunity and delay aging, overcome sinusitis, relief from migraine, assist with erectile dysfunction, enhance sports performance and addresses a number of health disorders. Basically correcting disorders that are related to impaired blood circulation.


Visual evidence for improved blood circulation

The effect on red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is clear.

The result is improvement in blood circulation in the way that TCM seeks to achieve.
