Are you, or is someone you know, suffering from symptoms of SAD? Take this handy self test to find out. Get Relief from Eight Common Problems Sun Touch Plus helps relieve symptoms such as: Winter SAD Sleep difficulties Low moods Fatigue caused by irregular work shifts Menstrual and menopause discomfort Irritability Excessive tiredness and fatigue Jet lag How the Sun Touch Plus Lamp Works The Sun Touch Plus emits energizing, healing rays, using 10,000-lux Sky Effect light while simultaneously releasing streams of negative ions. It creates the same fresh air you feel by a waterfall or from an ocean breeze. The Science Behind NatureBright Scientific researchers have discovered a new light receptor in the eye's retina that interprets signals from light rays, and sends the information to sections of our brain that stimulate hormone secretion and body rhythms. The Sun Touch Plus' Sky Effect lamps emit the optimal blue light that best stimulates these receptors, which send signals to neurological receptors, energizing important centers in the body. While this light appears normal to human eyes, its special frequency tackles winter SAD, sleep problems, low moods, and even jet lag. The Sun Touch Plus couples light therapy with negative ion therapy. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, electron-sized particles found in refreshing environments like on beaches and around waterfalls. Clinical studies show that high-density ion therapy provides an automatic antidepressant effect within a few days of use. What You Can Expect with Sun Touch Plus You'll safely receive Sky Effect light stimulation--the equivalent of standing outdoors on a clear spring day. You'll synchronize your sleep cycle with your waking cycle, staying rested and on track. You can take it with you when you travel. It's portable and easy to hold. You won't experience harmful side effects. As your world gets lighter, your mind can think more clearly and you'll feel calmer. It's easy to bring the gentle healing touch of nature into your home. Tested for Safety Sun Touch Plus with Sky Effect Technology has been submitted for safety testing to the Age-related Macular Degeneration Center at the University of Texas' Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. The study did not identify any cumulative toxicity to retinal cells following exposure to the NatureBright Sky Effect light. Based on these studies it would appear highly unlikely that the NatureBright Sky Effect light would cause any light damage to retinal cells in vivo when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. |

I Wish I Would Have Bought This Years Ago by M. Unruh (Kansas City, MO USA) 5 Stars
November 17, 2009
I have suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder for over seven years. It is usually a fairly insidious onset until by January or February I am not getting out of bed and sleeping for over 12 hours a day. I have literally tried everything: medication, behavioral therapy, and multiple lifestyle changes. I wish I would have purchased this years ago.
I have had this for five days and there is a huge difference in my energy, mood, and circadian rhythm. I use it for thirty minutes when I first wake up. Since waking up with SAD is very difficult, I will place it on my coffee table and will watch the morning news while using the lamp (my biggest battle is getting out of bed to the couch, which isn't too bad). Then I will use it between 5-6 p.m.
As for some of the prior reviews, I can agree that there is a smell associated when the ion therapy is in use. However, it does not bother me that much. It smells much like a new plastic item does, but I think that scent decreases with use.

Great Light by Wendy (Denver, CO) 5 Stars
November 17, 2009
So far I really like the light and ion therapy feature. The true test will be in Dec. and Jan. when the days are the shortest. I am expecting this to be the best winter I've had in a long time, now that I have my light.

Amazing that this works. by MK Lady (USA) 5 Stars
November 15, 2009
A friend of mine suffers from sun deprivation or whatever that problem is called. Anyways as a gift we bought the Nature light to see if it would help her. She is a different person smiling, happy, it is unbelievable that something so simple to use actually works. She loves it - we love her. Thank you for your prompt, efficient service (we loved the prices and selection - we ordered the one our friend recommend). If I were more computer literate - I would link it. I'm not.

Light and Ion Therapy - a good investment by GRACE (South Carolina)  4 Stars
November 13, 2009
I was a bit of a skeptic when someone encouraged me to check out light therapy. Having struggled greatly over the past few winters, I decided there was little to lose. I chose this particular product because it had received many reviews, most of which were positive. Also, it was more affordable that other brands/models. I have been very pleased with the product. It is hard to quantify how the NatureBright lamp has helped me but having had doubts before trying it, I firmly believe it is helpful. The odor several had commented on is minimal at worst and is simply not an issue for me. The light "feeds" a craving for light/warmth from the sun that is absent this time of year. The product is a little bulky though not heavy and this is a trade off I can live with. Though I have only had it for a brief period, I look forward to using it daily and for me it has been a good investment.
