How does the Caribbean Sun Box treat SAD?
SAD, otherwise know as winter blues, is the result of too little serotonin in the brain. This decrease in serotonin can cause depression, sleep disorders and loss of appetite. It has been found that when subjected to either a very bright light source of at least 10,000 LUX or a blue light of 415 nm, the serotonin in the brain is elevated. This actual chemical change in the body results in a mood elevation and a general feeling of well being. Please consult with your doctor before beginning treatment to see if light therapy is recommended for your medical condition.
