Alternative medicine offers patients safe, effective, and natural ways to boost their overall health. Ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy is one alternative treatment that’s seen a comeback in recent years as more people gravitate toward natural medicine. Below is more information about blood irradiation and how it can help you enjoy a better life.

What Is It?

Ultraviolet blood irradiation involves drawing a small amount of your blood and treating it with ultraviolet light in sterile conditions. Once it’s irradiated, the blood is transfused back into your bloodstream. Ultraviolet light treatment has germicidal properties and stimulates an immune reaction in the body. This ignites a series of reactions that include boosted immune support, improved circulation, detoxification, and a reduction in cholesterol. Ultraviolet irradiation can also improve oxygenation of the blood and tissues and modulate your glucose tolerance.

What Can It Treat?

Beyond boosting your overall wellness, blood irradiation can treat a wide range of medical conditions, including psoriasis, macular degeneration, chronic digestive issues, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and more. It’s also been used to treat polio and numerous immune disorders. In particular, it’s known for its ability to combat fungal, viral, and bacterial infections, which was its primary use when it first gained recognition. This has been a driving reason for ultraviolet blood irradiation’s modern resurgence, as concern about antibiotic-resistant bacteria grows. In one study, researchers encouraged further study and use of irradiation as a treatment for septicemia and antibiotic-resistant systemic infections due to its ability to fight diseases that don’t respond to other treatments. Another study spoke of the importance of pursuing blood irradiation as a way to regulate the immune system, as well as its infection-fighting benefits.
