Ukusetshenziswa kwezindlela zokwelapha ezikhanyayo njengemibhede yokwelapha ngokukhanya okubomvu ukusiza ekwelapheni kuye kwasetshenziswa ngezindlela ezahlukene kusukela ngasekupheleni kwawo-1800. Ngo-1896, udokotela waseDenmark uNiels Rhyberg Finsen wasungula indlela yokuqala yokwelapha ngokukhanya yohlobo oluthile lwesifo sofuba sesikhumba kanye ne-smallpox.
Ngemuva kwalokho, ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu (i-RLT) kwasetshenziswa ngawo-1990 ukusiza ososayensi ukutshala izitshalo emkhathini. Abacwaningi bathole ukuthi ukukhanya okukhulu okukhishwa ama-diode abomvu akhipha ukukhanya (ama-LED) kwasiza ekukhuthazeni ukukhula kwezitshalo kanye ne-photosynthesis. Ngemva kwalokhu kutholakala, ukukhanya okubomvu kwahlolwa ngokusetshenziswa kwawo okungenzeka kwezokwelapha, ikakhulukazi ukuze kubonwe ukuthi ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu kungandisa yini amandla ngaphakathi kwamangqamuzana abantu. Ososayensi babenethemba lokuthi ukukhanya okubomvu kungaba yindlela ephumelelayo yokwelapha ukuwohloka kwemisipha - ukuwohloka kwemisipha ngenxa yokuntuleka kokunyakaza kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungenxa yokulimala noma ukuntuleka komsebenzi womzimba - kanye nokunciphisa ukuphulukiswa kwamanxeba nokusiza ngezinkinga zokuqina kwamathambo okubangelwa ukungabi nesisindo ngesikhathi sokuhamba emkhathini.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi abacwaningi bathole ukuthi eziningi zisetshenziselwa ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu. Kuthiwa izimpawu zokunwebeka kanye nemibimbi kuncishiswa yimibhede yokukhanya okubomvu etholakala ezindaweni zobuhle. Ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu okusetshenziswa ehhovisi lezokwelapha kungasetshenziswa ukwelapha i-psoriasis, amanxeba aphola kancane, kanye neminye imiphumela emibi ye-chemotherapy.
Yini eyenziwa yi-Red Light Therapy Bed?
Ukwelashwa ngokukhanya okubomvu kuyindlela yemvelo yokwelapha esebenzisa ukukhanya okuseduze kwe-infrared. Le ndlela inezinzuzo eziningi, okuhlanganisa ukucindezeleka okuncishisiwe, amandla akhuphukile, nokugxila okuthuthukisiwe, kanye nokulala kahle ebusuku. Imibhede yokwelapha ngokukhanya okubomvu ifana nemibhede yokushiswa kwesikhumba uma kukhulunywa ngokubukeka, yize imibhede yokwelapha ngokukhanya okubomvu ingabandakanyi imisebe ye-ultraviolet (UV) eyingozi.
Ingabe Ukwelashwa Nge-Red Light Kuphephile?
Akukho bufakazi bokuthi ukusebenzisa ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu kuyingozi, okungenani uma kusetshenziswa isikhathi esifushane nangokuhambisana nemiyalelo. Akunabo ubuthi, akuhlaseli, futhi akunabo ubukhali uma kuqhathaniswa nokwelashwa kwesikhumba okuphathelene nokushisa. Nakuba ukukhanya kwe-UV okuvela elangeni noma endaweni yokushiswa kwesikhumba kuyimbangela yomdlavuza, lolu hlobo lokukhanya alusetshenziswa ekwelashweni kwe-RLT. Akunabo futhi ubungozi. Uma imikhiqizo isetshenziswa kabi, isibonelo, isetshenziswa kaningi noma ingahambisani nemiyalelo, isikhumba sakho noma amehlo akho angase alimale. Yingakho kubalulekile ukwenza ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu esikhungweni esifanelekile nesinelayisensi esinodokotela abaqeqeshiwe.
Kufanele Usebenzise Kangaki Umbhede Wokwelapha Okhanyayo Obomvu?
Ngezizathu eziningi, ukwelashwa ngokukhanya okubomvu kuye kwanda kakhulu eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Kodwa yiziphi ezinye iziqondiso ezivamile zokwelapha ekhaya?
Iyiphi indawo enhle ongaqala kuyo?
Okokuqala, sincoma ukusebenzisa ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu kathathu kuya kahlanu ngesonto imizuzu eyi-10 kuya kwengama-20. Ngaphezu kwalokho, hlala ucela ukubonisana nodokotela noma udokotela wesikhumba ngaphambi kokuqala i-RLT, ikakhulukazi uma unesikhumba esibucayi.
