Blue Light Therapy has been proved as an effective treatment for SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder or “Winter Blues”.
This is a medical condition caused by the seasonal change on the amount of available sunlight.
It affects as much as 10% of the population especially in the north, with a greater daylight variance from summer to winter.
Medical research has found that affects women more than men by almost a 3 to 1 ratio.
In its milder form- “winter blues” includes a lack of energy, depression, listlessness, and food cravings for sweets and carbohydrates all of which I tend to experience myself pretty much since the first week of November until the beginning of March.
It can get more debilitating when includes problems sleeping, change in appetite or weight, loss of memory, lack of concentration, severe depression and confusion.
Before the use of my blue light therapy box I dreaded winter and the very thought of it would make me very sad and even more depressed. However I found out this “miracle” box which has saved my life since I started using it about five years ago.
There are many different models out there but the one I use and find excellent is goLITE Bluewave therapy light from ApolloHealth.com, you can buy it directly or from Amazon.com.
If you do get it and start using it, you will see the difference.
That little light box is one of my most precious possessions now. It is so practical that you can take it anywhere.
