Light — not pain-killing drugs — used to activate brain’s opioid receptors

More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) to activate brain’s opioid receptors, instead of pain killers.

“By activating the receptors with light, we are presumably causing the brain to release more dopamine,” Bruchas explained. “Rather than a drug such as morphine activating an opioid receptor, the light provides the reward.”
