Using Therapy Lights or SAD Lights to Enhance Your Health
Overview
Imagine bringing the sunshine indoors. Many describe the benefits of therapy lights as just that. Scientists believe simulated bright light can positively impact brain chemicals and skin, helping with various conditions. Here, we explore different types of therapy lights and their uses.
Types of Therapy Lights and Their Benefits
Light Boxes (Phototherapy or Bright Light Therapy)
Sitting near a simulated sunlight box has been shown to alleviate certain symptoms. The light should have a strength of at least 2,500 lux, with daily exposure required. It is crucial to consult a medical professional to determine the appropriate strength and exposure duration for your needs.
SAD Lights
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), or the milder "Winter Blues," affects many during shorter winter days. We naturally feel more energetic during the sunny days of summer, but as daylight decreases, some may experience lethargy and mood changes. For some, these feelings become severe, affecting daily life. Symptoms typically start in winter and improve by spring. Using SAD lights can help, but consult a trained professional for tailored advice.
Jet Lag and Sleep Disorders
Disruptions to our internal body clock, caused by jet lag or sleep disturbances, can be addressed with light boxes. These simulate daylight to help re-adjust your circadian rhythms, allowing your body and brain to get back on track quickly.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Research shows that Alzheimer’s disease can damage the part of the brain controlling circadian rhythms. Combined with poor eyesight, older adults may struggle to distinguish between day and night. Therapy lights and light boxes can help maintain rest and activity cycles in Alzheimer’s patients.
UVB/UVA1 Light
Used in sunbeds, this light technology can also alleviate stubborn skin conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo, stretch marks, and pale scars. It should be directed only at the affected areas to avoid unnecessary exposure to healthy skin.
Colored-Light Therapy or Intense Pulsed Light
This therapy uses filtered lights to address various skin issues:
- Blue Light: Targets acne-causing bacteria.
- Green Light: Treats pigment irregularities, such as liver and age spots.
- Yellow Light: Addresses vascular conditions like thread veins and rosacea.
- Green and Yellow Combination: Smooths fine lines and wrinkles.
- Red Light: Helps relieve headaches and, when focused, can ease arthritic pain.
Low-Level Laser Light (Ruby and KTP) Therapy
Designed to reduce skin discolorations, such as birthmarks or moles, by breaking up excess melanin. This therapy can also be combined for those seeking hair removal in unwanted areas.
Conclusion
Therapy lights offer numerous benefits for different conditions. However, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider before starting any treatments. This article provides general information and should not replace professional medical advice.
