The concept of biophotons originates from biophysical research and is closely linked to the idea that light plays a central role in life and health. In regulatory medicine<\/a> and in procedures such as bioresonance therapy<\/strong><\/a>, biophotons are regarded as subtle information carriers that can be used for diagnosis and therapy.<\/p>\n

Origin and scientific background<\/h3>\n

The term \u2018biophotons\u2019 was coined by German biophysicist Prof. Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp<\/strong>. In the 1970s, he discovered that living cells \u2013 such as those found in humans, animals or plants \u2013 continuously emit ultra-fine light radiation in the UV to visible range. These emissions<\/a> are about 1,000 times weaker than the light that the human eye can perceive, but can be detected with special measuring devices such as photomultipliers.<\/p>\n

Popp and other scientists discovered that these light signals are coherent<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 similar to laser light \u2013 and represent a kind of ordered information field. This led to the theory that cells communicate via light<\/strong>. This light-based communication is potentially much faster and more precise than biochemical signal transmission.<\/p>\n

Function of biophotons in the body<\/h3>\n

According to this theory, biophotons perform several key tasks in the biological system:<\/p>\n
