Light Therapy for Mental Health and Well-Being

Light therapy isn’t just for your skin—it’s also a powerful tool for mental health. By mimicking natural sunlight, light therapy devices can help regulate your body’s internal clock, boost serotonin levels, and alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This therapy is especially valuable during the darker winter months, when reduced sunlight can disrupt mood and sleep patterns.

Bright light therapy, often delivered via lightboxes, is the most common approach. Used in the morning, it can reset your circadian rhythm, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-being. Blue light therapy is also gaining traction for its role in treating sleep disorders and jet lag.
