Product Description:
Light box therapy has proven to be an effective method of relieving symptoms associated with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It is the therapy of choice among physicians and other specialists. Studies have shown that SAD affects 3 to 10% of the population. Typical symptoms of SAD include depression, excessive sleepiness, overeating, anxiety, loss of libido, and mood changes. Bright-light therapy involves the use of a specially designed lamp that produces an intense luminescence within the daylight spectrum. For optimal benefit, the lamp should operate at an intensity of 10,000 lux. The light should consist of full daylight spectrum or of white light, with filtering of ultraviolet light to avoid harmful effects on the eyes and skin. The TRAVelite is a compact and versatile light box that will let you enjoy the light in a variety of situations. Use it in the office, at home, on a trip. It is compact enough to fit in a briefcase.
