The NIH has demonstrated that specialized bright light (a large field of 10,000 lux intensity) - such as the briteLITE 6 (pictured above) that we recently installed at ESSpa Kozmetika - to be the most effective means of reversing the effects of the winter blues. Light therapy produces serotonin in the brain, and researchers believe low serotonin levels contribute to winter blues. Scientists also believe that Winter Blues is associated with shifted circadian rhythms (i.e. body clock). Our inner "clock" regulates our daily activity cycles, and it needs light signals to reset itself each day. When we don't receive this signal, the body can malfunction. This can affect how you sleep and feel during the day. If you have difficulty waking up, or you fall asleep and wake up at the wrong time, you may have a circadian rhythm problem. Come join me and Dr. Sari and learn how Light Therapy can help.
