Light Therapy

Light therapy clearly demonstrates just how important light is to humans and what an enormous impact it can have on us. In this context, light is used in medicine in a highly targeted manner to improve well-being and health. Light therapy is used, for example, to treat seasonal depression—most commonly winter depression—but light has also become an established therapeutic aid in the treatment of other conditions. To administer this type of light therapy, a doctor needs the appropriate lamps. There are special therapy lamps available on the market that use LED technology or are classified as full-spectrum lamps. Generally, these are daylight lamps capable of emitting up to 10,000 lux. At this level of illuminance, initial effects can sometimes be felt after just 30 minutes. The mechanism of light therapy is linked to the hormone melatonin, which regulates the sleep cycle and whose production can be stimulated or reduced with the help of light. Especially in winter, this often leads to increased fatigue or sleep disturbances because the eyes do not receive enough light. Light therapy can help counteract these effects.
