Photonic Therapy is an Australian concept of complimentary medicine, based on research published in 1996 by Dr Brian McLaren. Photonic Therapy is applied neuro-physiology, that is, the scientific application of electro-biochemistry. Treatment consists of applying a particular frequency of light (safe, gentle red light, not laser) to specific points.
