Green light can reduce migraine and arthritis pain | Sciences


Slowing down the nervous system activates a protein called PENK. This protein, in turn, activates opioid receptors in the brain. These receptors can bind to opioids (painkillers) and thus reduce pain.

In short: When we see green light, the cones send a signal to the cells in our retina, which slows down our nervous system. This activates a protein that ensures that analgesic substances (such as morphine and your body’s own endorphins) can bind to pain receptors. When this bonding occurs, we feel less pain.
