Introduction: Intravascular therapy Laser Irradiation of Blood (Ilib), known as Ilib, is a technique developed in Russia in 1970. Its mechanism of action is based on the use of laser as a source of treatment for autoimmune and chronic diseases. This non-invasive technique is applied to the radial artery and uses a low-power laser. This approach allows the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is a fundamental energy source for cells to carry out their activities. Thus, there is a systemic improvement in blood oxygenation. Through this mechanism of action, it is possible to promote analgesia and relieve pain associated with systemic diseases. Objectives: to identify in the national and international literature, through an integrative literature review, studies that reveal the effectiveness of the Ilib therapy technique applied to health and strengthening of the immune system. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, carried out between February and June 2023. Data collection was carried out by searching for scientific articles published in the Virtual Health Library (BVS-BIREME) and the Scientific Electronic Library Online portal (SCIELO). Six articles were found that addressed different aspects of the theme. Results: the studies showed that Ilib therapy promotes benefits through the use of low power laser, improving blood oxygenation and providing relief from pain and systemic diseases. Conclusion: Ilib acts as an adjuvant therapeutic source in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and chronic pain to improve the quality of life of patients.
