Light therapy

How important light is for humans and what an enormous effect it can have on us is particularly clear in light therapy. Light in medicine is used in a targeted manner to improve well -being and health. Light therapy is usually used for winter depression in seasonal depression, but light has already prevailed as therapy aids when treating other diseases.

In order to be able to carry out such light therapy, a doctor needs the right lights. There are special therapy lamps on the market that work with the LED technology or can be found under so -called full spectrum lamps. In general, these are mostly daylight lamps that manage to shine up to 10,000 lux. With such a illuminance, sometimes a first effect is achieved at 30 minutes.

The functionality of light therapy is related to the hormone melatonin, which regulates the sleep rhythm and can be stimulated or reduced using light. Especially in winter there are often increased tiredness or sleep disorders because the eye is not supplied with enough light. Here you can work with light therapy.
