the short story about light therapy evolution

Light therapy research has been conducted for over 25 years. It has been shown to be perfectly safe, and often more effective than drug therapy. Light therapy has no serious side effects and none of the lingering long-term health questions that plague drug therapy. For many years light has been therapeutically useful in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder, winter depression and many other disorders.

Hi lux light, (AKA: traditional light therapy) 10 000 lux fluorescent tubes, was the first successful type of bright light therapy offered to people looking for relief. Those who benefit from hi lux light boxes criticize the length of time they have to be exposed to the lights to get results. Some people need to spend 2 to 3 hours a day and some complain of difficulties getting to sleep at night!

Full spectrum light was developed and introduced to people for light therapy. This gentler light therapy with the softer light can be left on all day because it does not need to be extremely bright to be effective. This kind of light therapy is beneficial to general health and gradually alleviates symptoms without causing sleep problems.

Bright light in the appropriate wavelength is the latest breakthrough in the therapeutic use of light. Research shows that bright light in the 446-477 nanometer range suppresses melatonin and raises serotonin quickly. Only 15 to 30 minutes or less in front of the appropriate wavelength is as beneficial as 1 to 2 hours in front of a traditional hi lux bright light box.

Quality is everything!

All light sources are not created equal and you cannot tell the quality of a light just by looking at it! To be of the highest benefit to our bodies:

• Bright light should be a combination of intense light in the 446-477 nanometer range. Recent research has shown that it is not the overall intensity of a powerful 10 000 lux traditional light box, but rather the bright light at the appropriate wavelength that produces desired results (melatonin suppression) efficiently.

Bright light alleviates symptoms caused by seasonal affective disorder (SAD), depression, irritability, sleep disorders, winter blues, social withdrawal, fatigue, sadness, reduced libido, difficulty concentrating, carbohydrate cravings and jet lag but research has shown it to also be beneficial for various circadian rhythm sleep disorders, pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), bulimia nervosa, Alzheimer's disease (through regulation of sleep patterns) and non-seasonal major depression...the research is ongoing.
