Lighten your mood

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) brings many people down during these cloudier months. Studies have shown that exposure to bright light can trigger seratonin production, increasing the feeling of well being. Lights with the right intensity and color spectrum can be expensive. Ashiyu Foot Spas in NW Portland is making a new Sky model light by Day Light available for its customers. The light features a big bright face and shines on the user at the angle that has been found to provide the most relief. A twenty minute session in the “happy chair” at Ashiyu is just $5. Visit Ashiyu at 2113 NW Northrup St, or call 503-232-0920. Online at www.ashiyu.com.
