Treat your winter blues and depression with UV-free light therapy
Our sister company Alaska Northern Lights manufactures medical grade bright light therapy devices that treat Seasonal Affective Disorder, depression, and sleep disorders.
What is bright light therapy?
Light therapy involves exposure to intense light, which enters the eye, hits the retina and is transmitted by nerve impulses to the pineal gland which controls melatonin secretion, and thereby sets the body’s internal clock or circadian rhythm. Depending on when the light is presented, the circadian rhythm, which controls sleep timing and daytime alertness, is shifted ahead or delayed.
Bright light therapy consists of sitting close to the light box with eyes open so that the light shines on the user’s face. Looking directly at the light is not necessary.
