Stress / SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)
The effects of gradual and consistent exposure to UV light can help with stress reduction. Studies have shown that exposure to sunlight has a more relaxing effect upon patients. Post UV exposure, there is increased adrenaline in the adrenal glands which can be beneficial in helping overcome stressful situations. UV exposure induces many hormonal and chemical changes in the body, and can help alleviate the symptoms of this condition.
