Inā paha mai ka hana kino a i ʻole nā mea haumia kemika i loko o kā mākou meaʻai a me ke kaiapuni, loaʻa iā mākou āpau nā ʻeha i nā manawa a pau. ʻO nā mea āpau e hiki ke kōkua i ka wikiwiki ʻana i ke kaʻina hana ho'ōla o ke kino hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i nā kumuwaiwai a ʻae iā ia e kālele i ka mālama ʻana i ke olakino maikaʻi loa ma mua o ka ho'ōla ponoʻī.
ʻO Kauka Harry Whelan, ke polopeka o ka neurology pediatric a me ke alakaʻi o ka lāʻau lapaʻau hyperbaric ma ke Kulanui Lapaʻau o Wisconsin, ua aʻo ʻo ia i ke kukui ʻulaʻula i loko o nā moʻomeheu cell a ma luna o nā kānaka no nā makahiki he ʻumi. Ua hōʻike kāna hana ma ka hale hana e ulu ana nā ʻili a me nā ʻiʻo i ulu ʻia i loko o nā moʻomeheu a hōʻike ʻia i ke kukui infrared LED i 150-200% wikiwiki ma mua o nā moʻomeheu kaohi i hoʻoulu ʻole ʻia e ke kukui.
Ma ka hana pū ʻana me nā kauka Naval ma Norfolk, Virginia a me San Diego Kaleponi e mālama i nā koa i ʻeha i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ua ʻike ʻo Kauka Whelan a me kāna hui ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia nā koa me nā ʻeha hoʻomaʻamaʻa musculoskeletal i mālama ʻia me nā diode hoʻomālamalama ma 40%.
I ka makahiki 2000, ua hoʻopau ʻo Kauka Whelan, "ʻO ke kukui kokoke-infrared i hoʻopuka ʻia e kēia mau LED me he mea lā kūpono loa ia no ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ikehu i loko o nā cell. ʻO ke ʻano kēia inā ʻoe ma ka Honua i loko o kahi haukapila, e hana ana i loko o kahi mokukaua ma lalo o ke kai a i ʻole ma kou ala i Mars i loko o kahi moku ākea, hoʻonui nā LED i ka ikehu i nā cell a hoʻolalelale i ka ho'ōla."
Aia maoli nō he mau ʻumi o nā haʻawina ʻē aʻe e hōʻike ananā pono ho'ōla ʻeha ikaika o ke kukui ʻulaʻula.
Eia kekahi laʻana, i ka makahiki 2014, ua hana kahi hui o nā kānaka ʻepekema mai ʻekolu mau kulanui ma Brazil i kahi loiloi ʻepekema o nā hopena o ke kukui ʻulaʻula i ka ho'ōla ʻana o nā ʻeha. Ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana i ka huina o 68 mau haʻawina, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mau mea i hana ʻia ma nā holoholona me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā nalu mai 632.8 a me 830 nm, ua hoʻoholo ka haʻawina "...ʻo ka phototherapy, ma o LASER a i ʻole LED paha, he ʻano therapeutic maikaʻi ia e hoʻolaha i ka ho'ōla ʻana o nā ʻeha ʻili."
