My Favorite At-Home Healing Tools
Sep 25, 2025When you’re living with Lyme, mold illness, MCAS, or other chronic conditions, sometimes it
feels like your body just needs more ways to recharge and restore right from home. Two of my
favorite supportive tools that I personally use and recommend are red light therapy and farinfrared (FIR) sauna therapy.
Red light therapy is wonderful for helping your cells create more energy. Think of it like giving
your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells, a boost of sunlight they can actually use.
Patients often notice improvements in energy, mood, inflammation, and even sleep when they
use it regularly.
Far-infrared sauna, on the other hand, helps the body gently detox through sweating. This can be
so important when you’re dealing with toxins from mold or other chronic infections. It also helps
improve circulation, relaxes the nervous system, and often leaves people feeling calmer and
clearer.
What I love most is that both of these therapies are gentle enough to start slowly and build up
over time. Even just a few minutes of red light therapy or a short sauna session a couple times a
week can make a noticeable difference when used consistently.
For at-home use, my go-to brand is Therasage. They design their products with people like my
patients in mind, low EMF, portable, and high quality. My personal favorites are the Thera360
Plus Portable Sauna and the TheraTriLight Plus Red/NIR Panel.

P.S. Many patients find that pairing sauna sessions with binders and electrolytes makes detox
much smoother. Small adjustments like that can really help!
