The wellness industry is saturated with products claiming to increase vitality, enhance mood, decrease stress, reduce burnout, increase sleep quality but few have proven effectiveness.
Beyond diet and exercise "an ancient new therapy" deserves serious recognition... LIGHT.
Light therapy has existed for decades but is still relatively new to the general public. It's a non-invasive therapy designed to improve health through innovative light technology. Advancing research has expanded well beyond seasonal depression (SAD) and covers a host health related issues. Matter of fact, its been said; light is the medicine of the future —good news . . . the future has arrived!
PLANTS & PEOPLE THRIVE ON NATURAL LIGHT

Conclusion: 4-week daily exposure to Full spectrum light followed by Near-infrared Low-Level Light Therapy with the SOL PhotoVites™ device positively affected mood, decreased self reported anger and increased vigor, as well as decreased stress. Additional effects were also present in increased quality of sleep and reduced signs of burnout, although these data need to be further validated. Given the positive outcomes obtained with a small sample size, additional research is awarded.
Science of Light (SOL) is a research & development, 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on raising awareness of Mal-illumination and promoting "nutritional light technology" for a balanced spectral diet for optimum health and reduced risk of disease.
SOL works to raise awareness of Mal-illumination — a condition that photobiology pioneer, Dr. John Ott likened to malnutrition.
