Welcome to Heliotherapies!
Heliotherapies – light therapies – can help you with a great variety of medical and cosmetic problems from joint pain to skin conditions to seasonal depression.
It really is very interesting to explore this exciting field!
Who we are
We are Gerd and Ingvild, a husband and wife team that will, through this site, build a reliable resource for learning more about all the benefits you can obtain from different light therapies.
Why we publish this site
We have both had experiences where light therapy turned out to be a great relief. These experiences made us thinking about making this site.
Gerd: My interest in light therapy started when I was a little kid. My mother was a loving nurse and helped me many times with a UV lamp when I had painful ear infections.
Later I got a BSc and a MSc in human physiology and a PhD in biomedicine. I love to use this knowledge to help people with their medical problems and to empower them to help themselves.
Ingvild: I didn’t have the same experiences as Gerd as a child, but as a grown-up, I have had several severe ear-infections. I tried everything to relieve the pain, but it was not before I got a red-light lamp that I really could get some relief. It was a wonder and made me really interested in the subject of light therapy.
I have had an interest in alternative medicine for many years and I think the team of both of us will make this site a great place for exploring this exciting area.
The goal of Heliotherapies
The goal of our site is to be the best possible destination when it comes to light therapy. We aim to find and publish the most up-to-date and scientifically sound information we can obtain.
We will also explore the history and earlier use of these great therapies.
We hope you will find a lot of interesting and helpful information on our site.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
All the best,
Ingvild and Gerd
