All living things, including humans, emit a faint glow known as “biophotons” that is barely perceptible. This glow is believed to be a result of ultraweak photon emission, a process where molecules in our cells gain and lose energy, emitting a few photons per second per square centimeter of skin tissue.
This phenomenon has been a topic of debate in the scientific community, but recent studies have provided evidence supporting the existence of biophotons. The glow is said to be present in all living organisms and is thought to play a role in various biological processes.
Researchers suggest that monitoring biophotons could have potential applications in fields such as environmental conservation and healthcare. For instance, tracking the biophoton emissions of plants could help assess their health and detect early signs of stress or disease. Similarly, studying the biophoton emissions of humans could lead to the development of non-invasive diagnostic tools for detecting illnesses.
As our understanding of biophotons continues to evolve, further research is needed to explore the full extent of their significance and potential practical uses.
