Fighting the winter blues with red light

Every year again... the "dark season" comes upon us. It gets dark earlier and not only does the sun appear less. Somehow, this also seems to mean that good mood, good sleep and general well-being always go down the drain.

This phenomenon is known by the acronym “SAD” (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Learned something new!

SAD describes the emotional state very aptly, especially since many people would describe it as “sad” - in fact, the symptoms are similar to mild to severe depression.

The reason for the seasonal mood slump is the lack of light during the cold winter months.

Red light therapy is the ideal solution to counteract this lack of sunlight!

For example, a 2018 scientific study showed that red light therapy exhibited antidepressant properties after treating chronically depressed people for 8 weeks.

But the best thing is to take a look at our red light therapy devices yourself to learn more about them

Winter is coming and it will be dark for longer. We can't change that (unfortunately). But we can learn to deal with it and prepare ourselves so that we no longer have to suffer from a low mood during the cold season!

You now know how you can use red light therapy to improve your mood for the long term. Find out more about the other health benefits of red light therapy here.

Until then, we wish you a happy winter 😄
