Welcome to Sad Shop

Light therapy treatments for mind and body

For thousands of years people the world over have revered the sun as a great healer; some ancient cultures even worshipped the sun. There is no doubt that the sun plays a very important role in our daily lives. We feel energized after spending time in the sun, and the winter can leave many of us feeling drowsy and less inclined to physical activity.

We are part of a company called the SAD Light Hire Company Limited who have now been around since 1986 and have been involved in the supply of S.A.D Light Therapy Equipment and Natural Alarm Clocks for the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder and circadian rhythm disorders such as late night insomnia (delayed circadian rhythm disorder), early morning insomnia (advanced circadian rhythm disorder) and jet lag while travelling.

A natural progression has led to the development of non-drug light treatments for skin conditions such as acne and rosacea followed by Tens and TSE treatments chronic pain conditions. With a new strategic team behind it, Sad Shop has now added to its product range and offers help and advice and non-drug treatments for mens' and womens' health, cardiovascular, diabetic and respiratory conditions and oral health products. We even have our own range of health books, vitamins, minerals and food supplements.

• Treat Seasonal Affective disorder whilst you're at work using small SAD lights with LEDs or opt for high power 10,000lux SAD lightboxes at home.
• In addition to our vast range of products that we have for sale, you can also RENT Sad and Acne Light Therapy products from us for a small monthly fee. The scheme allows people just to test the effectiveness of equipment prior to purchase and has been the success story of our company since formation. Please click here to read more.
• Alternatively you can take the 'which light is right for me' test or if you require any further help or advice in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder then please contact Beverley and her friendly team on 01704 500505.
• Our range of Natural Alarm Clocks or Body Clocks, function as "Dawn Simulators". Our internal body clock relies on a dawn or sunrise to keep itself in regulation, so when people wake in the dark on winter mornings, our internal body clock does not get the correct signal and the internal 'circadian rhythms' can go away
• If months of playing tennis and cricket has left you feeling stiff and sore consider our massive range of Tens and TSE pain relief products or relax with our Rio Heat Pad in front of the TV!
