Plant lectins are being studied for over a century. Until a decade ago, most information was obtained from biochemical, molecular, and structural studies of a reasonably high but still limited number of abundant lectins from seeds and vegetative storage organs.
Light therapy boxes should be designed to filter out harmful ultraviolet (UV) light, but some may not filter it all out. UV light can cause skin and eye damage. Look for a light therapy box that emits as little UV light as possible. If you have concerns about light therapy and your skin, talk to your dermatologist.
Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet.Near infrared light is closest in wavelength to visible light and far infrared is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum.n other words, we experience this type of infrared radiation every day in the form of heat! The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire, a radiator or a warm sidewalk is infrared. The temperature-sensitive nerve endings in our skin can detect the difference between inside body temperature and outside skin temperature.
