LIGHT THERAPY

Light Therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a treatment that utilizes natural sunlight or specific artificial light to treat various conditions and illnesses. Light therapy can consist of using electric light tuned to a specific color of the light spectrum, sunshine, or infrared light. Light therapy can be used to relieve stress, anxiety, and to work in conjunction with other modalities to help align chakras, or to treat certain health conditions.

We offer limited light therapies currently but hope to soon be able to offer you a variety of light therapies.

Light Therapy-A Brief History

As we have learned, particularly in the last couple of years during the rise of COVID, light matters. It was recommended that we get a minimum amount of sunlight a day to help combat COVID. Sunlight was also used during the Spanish Influenza to help treat patients. Light therapy has gained popularity since the 1900’s but is believed to date back to the early Egyptians who were said to have built temples specifically for healing with sunlight and different colored lights. Ancient Chinese and Indian texts also discuss the use of color in healing.

Throughout history, light therapy has been used to treat depression, tuberculosis, smallpox, lupus and a host of other medical issues, to include pain.
