THE THERAPY SHACK
The White Light Therapy Shack is a revolutionary new experience you will love.Have you heard of S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder) or the Winter Blues, Office Blues or do you just feel low and miserable in the dark drawn evenings? The chances are you will have heard of at least one of them if not all. You may be someone who suffers with this yourself or know someone who does. Well, you'll be so pleased to know that the Therapy Shack is here to help.
Research shows that there is a strong link between the state of mind and bodily health and adults suffer from the "Blues" of many descriptions usually starting around September time and lasting right through till April!
You can feel lethargic, crave carbohydrates and eat more, making you feel tired in the day, even though you may have slept properly! In some cases you might become moody and touchy quite quickly for no apparent reason?
The lack of daylight during winter months create a biological inbalance in the parts of the brain that regulate the body.
The Therapy Shack though is not just for people with S.A.D or the Winter/Office blues as it's designed to help even if you're feeling a little low for one reason or another.
Let me explain how it works............
Firstly you need to get yourself sat comfortably in the self contained room of the shack and insert your tokens (one or two 30 min sessions depending on how long you wish). The coloured lights and the full spectrum lights will commence. It's up to you how you choose to relax in there, you can read a book or magazine or just simply relax listening to the beautiful specially designed background music. The aromatherapy vaporiser, infra red emitter, air filter and ioniser will begin to operate.
After a short while you will feel the "Therapy Shack" feeling.
The White Lights; these produce a full spectrum of light giving you a light bath. (You can look at the lights as they will not harm your sight)
Aromatherapy Vaporizer; an uplifting and revitalising aroma will awaken your senses
The Air Purifier; filters all impurities out of the air leaving you with clean fresh air
The Ioniser; this will create electrically charged molecules called Negative Ions produced by the millions
Infra Red; creates energy recieved by the infra red spectrum All these treatments combined will give you the capability to help elimate stress and deal with difficult emotional problems, balances your body, filters all impurities such as pollutants, dust and pollen which can alleviate respiratory ailments and can even reduce the symptons of Hayfever. The air will be as fresh as found by a mountain stream or waterfall. It will totally enhance your health by increasing your blood flow and warms away stress and tension. The blues will lift in as little as three to four 30 minute treatment sessions.
THE FACTS
Light and its treatment produce hormones and neuro transmitters that affect our mood and state of mind,Serotonin is one of the main hormones that light increases, thus aiding happiness. The long dark gloomy days cause them to plummet causing depression of all types and strengths. Bright light helps to supress the hormone Melatonin, this is usually released in the evening as a sign for the body to sleep.
Melatonin is converted from serotonin which lowers the level of serotonin and this itself can cause irritability, withdrawal and sadness. Too much of this left in the body in the day causes mood swings.The doctors call it sub-syndronormal (SAD). Unbelievably 60% of the population recognise in themselves as having at least one of the symptoms, with sadly 15% having all of the symptoms of winter depression.
