- a further embodiment of the invention is particularly adapted for trichology applications.

- the light sources used with the apparatus of the present invention emit radiations that are not harmful for any part of the human body, particularly the eyes.
- the apparatus of the present invention is suitable to carry out the following treatments:
- the irradiation generates an energetic field that extends to the whole body, influencing in a determining way the biochemical processes of the body.
- the colour oscillation that is transmitted through the areas or the system of meridians through the energy points, causes the single cells of the body to assume an oscillatory behaviour, thereby re-organising the arrangement of the lipid and protein molecules within the cell membrane. This phenomenon is enhanced upon reaching resonance of colour oscillation with cell oscillation, thereby improving cell operation with consequent production of more strong and healthy cells.
- the structures of the cells of immunity are re-arranged so that these cells become more efficient in creating a defensive barrier against diffusion of virus and bacteria.
- Example 1 The following examples briefly report the results of several applications carried out with important institutes of physiotherapy and aesthetic medicine.
- Example 1
- a 50 year old patient afflicted with persisting hemicrania was treated with green light on energy points and diffusion of green for 10 minutes and yellow for 5 minutes. After 10 applications twice-weekly, the pain was eliminated, while it has already diminished considerably after the second application.
