Abstract

A method of therapeutically treating a human being to promote healing and improved organ function is disclosed. The method comprises irradiating the portion of the body of the person requiring treatment with orange or blue light. Conveniently the light is generated by neon gas in a vacuum tube which is energised in the usual way by electrical energy. Typically the light is pulsed one to three times per second and the total treatment time will be 5 - 10 minutes. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
