Seasonal Affective Disorder

Posted Nov 26 2009 3:25am
Lumie produce wide range of Light Boxes, for Seasonal Affective Disorder suffers – a condition that affects many people worldwide. The symptoms of SAD can range from just a mild feeling of lethargy to full on depression. It is caused by the shortening of days during winter, and is particularly difficult for people who live in higher latitudes.

Light therapy
is one of the most straightforward and natural solutions. There are two basic types of light therapy: bright lights and dawn simulation. Light Therapy works when the light mimics outdoor, natural light, it creates a biochemical change in your brain that has been shown to lift your mood. It can relieve the symptoms of this disorder.

Dawn Stimulation works by reproducing the gradually rising light levels of a May day, while the negatively-charged ions attempt to copy atmospheric conditions outside the home.
