Phototherapy Patches 101

Curious about these phototherapy patches I keep talking about? Here’s the scoop.

The patches are made by a company called Lifewave. Lifewave patches are wearable technology that use LIGHT to induce biochemical and physiological changes in the body without relying on molecular inputs like pills, drugs, creams, oils, injections, food, diets or lifestyle changes!
Lifewave marries Western phototherapy technology with Ancient Chinese medicine. You can biohack almost any symptom using different combinations of patches on acupuncture points.
Patches work on the bioelectric and meridian systems in the body by sending nutritive healing signals to elevate certain healing peptides & antioxidants that support the body’s natural ability to heal itself

Translation: The patches work like a laser or red light therapy device, except they use the body’s own infrared light frequencies and provide CONSTANT stimulation for up to 24 hours (which is MAJOR for healing, FYI). With Lifewave patches on acupuncture points, therapeutic results can be achieved faster AND after receiving guidance from Caitria, you can apply the patches yourself for effective home treatment!!! SO AMAZING!

What can the patches be used for?

What CAN’T they be used for?! Seriously, there is a patching protocol for ALL THE THINGS. Headaches, insomnia, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, stress, fatigue, pain, low energy, hormone imbalance, fever, etc.

How long do patches last?

Each patch lasts for 24 hours, at which point you would remove it and replace it with a new one.

How do the patches stick to the body?

The patches are attached to the body via hypoallergenic adhesive. They can also be placed on clothing that is worn during the night (this is particularly helpful with young children). 

What’s in the patches?

The patches contain a blend of amino acids, water, stabilized oxygen, and natural organic compounds. None of the materials enter the body (this has been confirmed by more than 70  clinical studies). 

Are the patches safe?

Lifewave patches have been registered with the FDA and approved by the World Anti-Doping Agency. None of the materials in the patches enter the body. This has been confirmed by more than 70 clinical studies which can be found on the company’s website. Patches are safe for ALL AGES (they’re great for kids!)
