The Aurora's stylish design works equally well on the coffee table or the desk and allows a daily SAD treatment anywhere within an 85cm radius. Perfect for combating Seasonal Affective Disorder also known as the Winter Blues.

The Aurora model sits neatly on the desk return and when we've finished the morning treatment we simply turn it off or down. It takes up hardly any space and looks so nice and it certainly helps keep our moods bouyant in the grey winter days!

What can I expect from using a SAD Light Box ?
Here is a typical experience of an SAD lamp user.
Sally's doctor referred her to a psychiatrist who recommended daily exposure to bright light.
It really worked. As the lightbox manufacturers said, within two to three days I started noticing changes. I felt lighter and more energetic, and my food cravings diminished. I had so much more energy - on the third morning I looked out of the window, and suddenly thought, It's quite a nice day, why havn't I been for a walk for so long? I found myself doing jobs I had been putting off, had a lot more interest in making the house nice - I revamped the sitting room, got new curtains and big cushions for the sofa and generally made the place cosy for the winter. Whereas before I had wanted to stay in bed and just run down to the kitchen for endless snacks.

When to use your Aurora SAD therapy lamp
Light therapy is most beneficial if used daily in the winter. Rather than wait for the symptoms to appear, many SAD sufferers start treatments as early as September. More and more evidence is showing that the earlier one starts the treatment, the greater the chance there is of eliminating the symptoms altogether, giving you an SAD free winter.
The Aurora provides a 360 degree Light treatment
Studies show that light therapy is most effective when used in the morning. Most people find that a session between 6 and 8 a.m. with perhaps another session in the late afternoon. Any later could cause insomnia.
It may take some experimenting to find out what time of day suits you best, but, generally, it is recommended that you take your light medicine at the same time every day.
Once you start feeling better, you may be able to cut down on treatment time or even miss it out some days. Most people seem to be able to miss a couple of days without ill effects.
The great thing about the Aurora, is that it doesn't look like a traditional light box....
The Aurora SAD lamp comes complete with an SAD light bulb. Simply unpack, plug in and enjoy your bright light therapy straight away. Replacements SAD lightbulbs available from Electronic Healing..
