A light-emitting diode (LED) therapy device and method of use is provided that increases healing of tissues by targeting damaged tissue at a predetermined wavelength and pulsed at a predetermined frequency. The device includes a housing and a light radiation module enclosed within the housing. The light radiation module includes an LED, a controller unit connected to the LED to control wavelength and pulsed frequency of the LED, and a rechargeable power source. The device also includes a light-diffusing member connected to the housing designed to diffuse light emitted from the LED to damaged tissue in a human cavity. Light in the red or near infrared range and pulsed at a Nogier frequency increases the effectiveness of the LED device to stimulate healing of damaged tissues. Particular devices include incorporation into a pacifier for healing an infant's gums, or nasal, auditory, vaginal, or anal cavities and adults or children.
