I recall hearing that red light therapy (shining red lights on the target area) has been used to treat restless leg syndrome. I wonder how much untapped potential light therapy has because it's a lot more fringe.

It increases the rate of stem cell maturation, helps cell to de-stress (by pushing out nitric oxide), increases energy production (by stimulating cytochrome-c-oxidase), and on top of that has systemic effects, too - the nitric oxide kills some pathogens and vasodilates (lowering high blood pressure), and, depending on where you shine the light, e.g. hormone production is increased. Those are all subtle improvements, but they add up.
