Valkee Sad Light - the most effective way to relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder

Designed in Finland, the Valkee sad light shines specific wavelengths of safe, bright light directly onto photosensitive regions of the brain using fibre optics and specially designed earplugs.

It is clinically proven to be the most effective way to relieve seasonal affective disorder. More effective than traditional sad lamps and sad lights.

Not only does this relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder it also helps with mood swings, and circadian rhythm disorders.

8 minutes a day provides the needed amount of light daily.

Season Affective Disorder, which typically comes on in September-November, is associated with mood swings and depression and is caused by the reduced sunlight at this time of the year.

Valkee's brain stimulation sad light headset is based on new findings in brain science by scientists at the University of Oulu, Finland (a country heavily afflicted by SAD).

The research concluded the following:

• The human brain is photosensitive.

• Valkee causes activity in the brain through the ear canal.

• Valkee is an effective way to increase energy and cognitive performance, reduce anxiety and treat mood disorders, especially seasonal affective disorder.

Sad Lights: Valkee cures mood swings

In one clinical trial 92% of severely depressed seasonal affective disorder (also known as ‘winter blues’) patients experienced total symptoms relief in 4 weeks with 8-12 minutes of bright light via their ear canal each day.

Sad Lamps: Only 8-12 minutes a day needed

8-12 minutes is all you need to relieve the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder.

Valkee is more effective than traditional SAD Lamps / SAD Lights

Traditional treatments, which are also effective, use a strong sad light or sad lamp which you sit next to. With these you need to spend 30 minutes to 1 hour a day right next to the sad lamp/light.

Because Valkee shines light directly onto photo-sensitive areas of the brain the treatment is both quicker and more effective. The ear canal is a more effective route to deliver light to the brain than the eye. More effective than traditional sad lamps and sad lights.
