Apollo Light Therapy

Light therapy has been around long enough now that people are starting to accept it as a medical therapy.  While it was introduced with much skepticism, now, after years of helping people, people are even being referred to this mode of therapy from medical personnel.

Apollo light therapy is one form of the many types of light therapy. Those in colder, darker climates suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) have found treamendous benefit from using Apollo Light Therapy.  When the sun comes up, and we go out into the sun, having it hit our forehead, the pineal gland is activated, helping our body to produce melatonin and seratonin.  Both of these are essential in good sleep and in governing our moods and depression.

In cold, much darker climates, where the sun may not be shining or the hours of light may be less, people can, over time, become very depressed because this pineal gland is not activated in the same way.

Using a light therapy lamp such can help to over come these issues and improve mood as well as restful sleep.  For example, the Apollo Suntouch Plus SAD 10,000 LUX Light Therapy Device is one such lamp that can be used effectively and easily in the home.
