The shorter days and changes in weather may throw many of us\u00a0off balance, affecting our mood and behavior.<\/p>\n

In fact, ten percent of us may be diagnosed with a\u00a0common problem called Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.).\u00a0<\/span>People suffering from S.A.D. may have a few, or all symptoms present:<\/p>\n

\u2022 changes in appetite<\/p>\n

\u2022 weight gain<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 cravings for sweet and starchy foods<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 a tendency to oversleep and have difficulty in waking<\/p>\n

\u2022 fatigue, low energy\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 decreased libido<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 aches, pains<\/p>\n

\u2022 difficulty focusing<\/p>\n

These symptoms can be sev<\/span><\/span>ere enough that our lives will be completely disrupted; we may even try to avoid social situations and become a recluse this time of year.<\/p>\n

Traditional treatments involve mood-altering drugs. While they may be effective, drugs can also have severe side-effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, many people choose to use natural remedies to combat S.A.D. such as exercise, herbs and light therapy. Light therapy involves sitting in front of a light unit equipped with specially designed bulbs. These bulbs duplicate the normal light spectrum of the sun on a cloud-free spring day. Since lack of sunlight is a factor in S.A.D., this therapy works quite well.
\nLight therapy requires an exposure to these special bulbs for at least 30 minutes a day. But, be cautioned, just like the sun, you can\u2019t look directly into the light. (Consult your health care professional for specific instructions).
\nAnother approach is to keep body and mind balanced with acupuncture care. Bodies can be easily thrown off balance with just about everything we do in life. The seasons have a direct influence upon the health of our mind and body. Acupuncture treatments can rebalance body systems, calming the mind, lifting the spirit and turning on our internal light switch!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
