It isn’t so hard to understand the healing power of light when we think about its most abundant source—the sun. Without the sun, virtually every living thing on this planet would perish.
The sun’s nourishing rays offer several health benefits. Our bodies need sunlight to make vitamin D3, which is vital for supporting the immune system and reducing inflammation. Exposure to the sun’s UVB rays also allows our skin to create beta-endorphins that reduce pain, help heal wounds, boost the immune system, and relieve symptoms of depression.
