Light and Color Therapy

In autumn, the amount of sunlight decreases significantly, and during the winter months people spend most of their time indoors – all of this can cause various ailments related to a lack of sunlight. This phenomenon is called “winter depression.” Its symptoms can vary: imbalance; increased sleepiness; low mood; loss of appetite; apathy; impaired concentration; general malaise.

Lack of light also slows down the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone essential for wellbeing. Exposure to light causes quantitative changes in hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain, which can positively affect our activity level and overall physical condition. Daylight is a suitable natural substitute for sunlight when fighting hormonal imbalance.

Effects: bright light >10,000 Lux stimulates the release of melatonin in the brain, helps restore the body’s daily biological rhythm and sleep quality, and improves mood; clinical studies have proven its effectiveness for seasonal affective disorder and low mood. Other indications: overwork, lethargy, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, eating disorders, bulimia, neurodermatitis, premenstrual syndrome, sleep disorders, weakened immunity, stress management, and boosting metabolism.
