HEALING-RADIATION
Over the years the positive influences attributed to sun substitutes on body and mind
has been comprehensive and the degree of scientific evidence is sometimes fragile,
if any at all. The overview of acknowledged- or supposed healing radiation as listed
below is therefore indicative and incomplete. Consult your physician and read the
instruction manual of your heat lamp, sunlamp or other artificial sunlight device
carefully before deciding to apply it for any therapeutic purpose.
