Capillus Healing Pod – Setup & User GuideUpdated 17 hours ago
Capillus Healing Pod
Your complete guide to setting up and using the Capillus Healing Pod; a full-body red and near-infrared light therapy system for recovery, relaxation, and whole-body wellness.
How It Works
The Capillus Healing Pod is a flexible blanket-style mat embedded with 10,720 LED diodes that deliver two therapeutic wavelengths simultaneously across your entire body. You lie inside the pod during each session, allowing the light to penetrate tissue deeply for whole-body photobiomodulation — supporting muscle recovery, circulation, and the body's natural restorative processes.
The Healing Pod is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have any medical concerns.
What's In The Box
Setup & Powering On
The Healing Pod runs on AC power. It plugs directly into a standard wall outlet. No batteries or charging required.
Unpack and inspectLay the pod flat on a clean, dry surface. Check that all components, pod, remote, and power block are present and undamaged.
Connect the remote to the podPlug the remote controller cable into the pod first.
Connect to powerPlug the power block into a grounded wall outlet. The power supply accepts 100–240V, making it compatible worldwide.

Before your session: Drink a glass of water beforehand and plan to hydrate again afterward. Proper hydration supports your body's response to light therapy.
Session Settings
Use the remote controller to configure your session before getting in. Set your light mode, intensity, and session duration.
New to the Healing Pod? Begin with shorter sessions (10–15 min) at 40% intensity, and gradually increase as your body adjusts over the first few weeks.
Light Modes
The Healing Pod offers two delivery modes, selectable from the remote controller.
Delivers uninterrupted light at your chosen intensity percentage. Best for standard recovery and relaxation sessions, particularly at shorter durations.
Light cycles on and off at a selected frequency (Hz). Set your preferred Hz value and intensity percentage via the remote. Some users find pulsating more comfortable for longer sessions.
How to Use
