Light emitting diodes (LEDs) were created by NASA to help grow plants in space. Specifically the red LEDs were used. The technology which allows plants to grow in space is now being use to heal humans on earth. The WARP 10 is a hand-held LED device which can relieve minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, muscle stiffness and increase blood circulation. The device is even used by soldiers to relieve minor pain.
