Abstract

A device is disclosed which is therapeutically beneficial to the well-being of living organisms such as humans, animals, and/or plant life, using photon or light waves. The device is intended to lie against the skin or surface, near the skin/surface, and/or from a distance ranging up to several feet from the skin/surface. The device is intended to be used for: general relaxation and detoxification of an organism; stimulating the healing process in an organism which is ill, diseased or injured; aiding in the elimination of pain and inflammation in an organism; stimulating/sedating the acupressure meridian system of an organism and rebalancing the electromagnetic energy-field surrounding the organism.

Claims (10)

1. A photo-therapy device comprising an enclosure having a hollow shaped bottom and a movable lid attached to said bottom, an array of LED's arranged in a predetermined pattern in said lid, an array of LED's arranged in a predetermined pattern in said bottom, said arrays of LED's emitting visible and high intensity infrared light, a control circuit housed within said hollow shaped bottom or in said lid, said control circuit being electrically connected to said arrays of LED's for controlling the operation of said arrays of LED's, control knobs being attached externally to said hollow shaped bottom or said lid and said control knobs being electrically connected to said control circuit.
