Rewiring the Brain
3 Tips on Full Spectrum Light Starvation
Years ago, I was experienced harsh headaches combined with depression. Some health food stor owner recommended I explore getting full spectrum lighting. I did and it changed my life. I became much happier and the headaches disappeared.
This, then is a story about how I healed, and in a way rewired my brain through Full Spectrum Lighting.
Full-spectrum light is light that covers the electromagnetic spectrum from near-ultraviolet to infrared. This includes all light wavelengths that are useful to plant or animal life. In particular, sunlight is considered full spectrum, even though the solar spectral distribution reaching Earth will change with latitude, time of day, and atmospheric conditions.
“Full-spectrum” implies that the product emulates some important quality of natural light.
Lights marketed as “full-spectrum” may produce light throughout the entire visible spectrum, but without producing an even spectral distribution. Some may not differ substantially from lights not marketed as “full-spectrum”.
Any plant light or full spectrum oriented light can have a major impact on brain functioning, especially for those suffering from some chemical-based brain abnormality, and those with an esoteric sensitivity generally associated with empaths.
