Therapy Lights

Therapy lights

Whether you're looking for an energy boost, treatment for seasonal affective disorder, or skin and muscle benefits, therapy lights may be able to help. Choose the type of light therapy that suits your needs. These lamps are also available in different colors, shapes and sizes for use in your home or office. Therapy lights from brands Philips, Day-Light, LED Technologies and others can use the power of infrared, full-spectrum and other light for your benefit.

Uses and varieties

Therapy lights such as SAD lamps can help alleviate the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder by simulating natural sunlight. You use these lamps for a specified amount of time each day, generally in the morning, to help brighten your mood and give you energy. Other therapy lights can be used while you work at a desk to help you focus. LED lights in particular can help stimulate circulation in your skin and muscles to help relieve soreness or increase collagen production to fight signs of aging.

Additional options

When not using light therapy directly, you can furnish your home with floor lamps that also replicate sunlight for bright, uplifting lighting. You'll also find sunlight meters here at Walgreens.com. These meters measure the UV index to help you determine what level of suntan lotion you need during prolonged exposure to sunlight.
