Light therapy is a rather complicated alternative medicinal field in itself, and is considered a vibrational medicine that uses acupuncture points, meridians, chakras, reflex zones, and many other areas to alter unbalanced frequencies in the body.
Based on scientific principles, light therapy can also be considered a form of energy medicine in addition to the vibrational medicine. It pulsates to a particular frequency that can be restored through resonant vibration, in order to achieve balance in the system. This balance is constantly seeking to reassert itself from an unbalanced state, through its own wisdom and intelligent form whenever light therapy is brought into play.
The body's systems when it goes through some sort of crisis or trauma can not correct itself on its own, at least whenever a psychotic registration occurs. What consist in the makeup of the system of the body are the physical, the mental, the spiritual, and the emotional levels--all of which can be influenced by the application of light therapy. And since light therapy consists of vibration and resonance, the different areas of the body's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects have the ability to resonant to the many different vibrational frequencies.

In light therapy, the five physical senses are stimulated by vibration and resonance. This stimulation occurs with touch, color, light, sound, aroma, sacred geometry, and the use of crystals and gems. Receiving this stimulation can occur as an individual unit or as a total process, creating a balance in the system's physical aspect. When an imbalance begins to occur, the body becomes deficient or completely overwhelmed by any amount of the senses--one or as a group.
By realizing that the body requires a balanced stimulus effecting the body, the senses can be approached on a steady and regular basis by utilizing the senses through processes--such as light therapy. Only then can healthy restoration begin to occur with deep changes toward a balanced system in the body.
Light therapy is important, as our bodies require light on a daily basis. The full spectrum of light influences the entire body to maintain its health, in a world where society is continuously blocking this light by staying indoors or deflecting the many forms of the light spectrum through the use of sun screen, sunglasses, or contacts. Seeing as light enters our body 90% of the time through the eyes, the skin, and the chakras, it is important to receive this light spectrum in order to stimulate the endocrine system, the immune system, and the body's organs. As little as two hours of indirect sunlight offer the visible light spectrum, infrared, and ultraviolet light for a marked emotional well being and healthy body.
The use of therapy light may not be for everyone, but it offers many benefits for people who have seasonal affective disorder and do not wish to take any form of traditional antidepressants. One of the main reasons people do not want to take medication is because of the side effects, or they have not worked.
Side effects with therapy light are very rare, but can still happen. Some of the side effects of therapy light can be eyestrain or headaches, agitation, nausea, inability to sleep at night, irritability, extreme forms of fatigue, a dry mouth, or sleep disruptions. The advantage is that side effects are easily controlled by reducing the treatment time, moving a further distance from the light box, or changing the time when the treatments are being used.
Other people simply choose therapy light because they want another choice, especially if they are pregnant or they lack insurance to cover the traditional mental health services. Even though therapy light is useful for depression, it is 80% better if used with cognitive-behavior therapy, or CBT. Other disorders that are being researched with therapy light in additional to seasonal affective disorder is obsessive-compulsive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, postpartum depression, or forms of insomnia.
Therapy light, even though it has become extremely popular with most people, is not for just everyone. Individuals whose skin is light sensitive, who takes medication that reacts with sunlight, or have an eye condition that makes their eyes vulnerable to light damage cannot use therapy light. Consulting the family doctor before using it will prevent any harm and increase its effectiveness.
Therapy light products can be purchased over the counter, after the family has been notified of its usage. Once home or at the office, the light from the light box has to enter directly into the eyes for it to work properly--intensity, duration, and timing all work together at this point--not by exposure to the skin. The key issue is to NOT look directly into the light, or damage may occur to the eye. Special bulbs in the light box are specifically covered with plastic screen, which blocks out UV rays which causes skin problems and cataracts.
In order for therapy light to work properly, the treatments need to be consistent and the time to do it. Many individuals begin the treatments but do not stay with them, giving them up because they do not have the time or the desire to do it. But many successful people have the light therapy box beside them when working on their computer, when they are writing or watching television, with some being worn as visors. Light therapy needs to be practiced early in the mornings, as the treatments need to match the person's biological rhythms. Depression may stand in the way for this depression treatment, especially that early in the morning, as depression brings about a lethargic feeling. But with a professional's care, a schedule can be worked out.
