Red and near infrared lights – can they help degenerative neurological diseases?
A generic term. This blog likes to name the different designs. Thus far we have the Eliza, the Daffodil and the Cossack.
When Rajeev Chaurasia’s father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Rajeev put his creativity and DIY skills to use in making a Cossack light hat for him.
