Bright light therapy-How it Works: Scientific Explanation
First, remember that light is potent medicine. In simple terms, after light hits our eyes, it travels through the brain to a specific area causing biological changes that impact how we think, feel, and function. In technical terms, after bright light hits our eyes it travels along the retinohypothalamic tracks to the suprachiasmatic nucleus located in the hypothalamus.
From there, it moves to the pineal gland. This complex process triggers hormonal and neurochemical changes that alter core body temperature, melatonin secretion, and serotonin and related neurotransmitter levels. .
These biological changes ultimately result in fairly rapid changes in our body clock and circadian rhythm. This body clock coordinates “circadian” rhythms we experience through the day, including the cycle of waking and sleeping, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, and most other bodily systems.
These biological changes ultimately result in fairly rapid changes in our circadian rhythm that affects how we think, feel, and function. This complex process triggers hormonal and neurochemical changes that alter core body temperature, melatonin secretion, and serotonin and related neurotransmitter levels.
In short, it is necessary to recognize that light is potent medicine. Experts in light therapy have designed equipment to treat quite a number of conditions that respond to bright light therapy.
