Light therapy lamps: How does it work?

Light therapy is compared with a lamp light therapy which transmits light to the eyes. The light intensity should be between 2500 and 10 000 lux (units light). This is the retina through neurotransmittors inhibiting melatonin, a sleep hormone that is at the root of the problems related to a loss light. Homon This is normally secreted at night so we can sleep. The fact that this drug is sleeping naturally blocked during the day, helps us discover natural energy.

Using phototherapy lamps

First we must remember that the lamps phototherapy as treatment in hospitals and at home respond in the same way as any normal medicine. Therefore you should check that the lights have an agreement The EU license.

The origin of phototherapy lamps are reserved for medical use (by a doctor or hospital). Lamps light therapy can now be used at home, office, in response to normal use.

Power will be the first factor in choosing a lamp, of course, the most more powerful lamp use for extra comfort.

Each session should be done in the morning. The user must place the lamp at eye level or just below the eyes. It is not necessary to look at the lamp, but it is important that nothing in the retina to light from light therapy.

The duration the session should be between 30 minutes and 2 hours (30 minutes at 10 000 lux or 2500 lux for 2 hours).

The impact on morale can feel quite rapidly from the first couple of days but can take 10 days for others.

There is very little evidence against the light therapy, but it is important consult a doctor when a person suffers with their eyes or are taking photosensitive drugs.
