Product Description

The traditional way to treat the symptoms of SAD is lightbox therapy - sitting in front of a high intensity light for approximately an hour a day. However, the experts at Valkee have discovered an alternative. They have developed the first SAD light technology that works via the ear canal, through a small device that looks like an MP3 player, and shines the light into the ears via earbuds.

"You don't need bright light in your house. You need to light up your brain - that's where your mood lives"

This technology has been developed on the principal that in order for the light therapy to be effective, it needs to hit the photosensitive parts of the brain - lightboxes worked in this way via transmitting the light through the eyes - but the Valkee system transmits the light through the ears - this is where the skull is thinnest and therefore the light can reach the photosensitive parts of the brain more efficiently.

"The truth is... I have felt genuine benefits"

Studies have shown a marked improvement in the symptoms of SAD with just 8-12 minutes use a day - much quicker than traditional SAD lightbox therapy. 92% of winter blues sufferers experienced a total relief from their symptoms in 4 weeks.

It also makes it easier for me to fall asleep at night. What's more, Valkee can be used to combat jetlag, as the light helps to regulate the body's circadian rhythm (the one that's responsible for sleep), so if you're a frequent traveller, this could help you too. And, due to the small and convenient size of the unit, you can use it in the morning, during your commute, or at work. It's portable and looks just like an MP3 player.
