The Blu Room & Post Traumadic Stress Disorder

The Blu Room is a new invention that is offering significant relief to individuals with PTSD. When individuals step inside the octagon-shaped room, they are surrounded with blue UV-B rays. During each 20-minute session, the user basks in the light waves while listening to soft music and experiencing other relaxation techniques.

While this may sound different to typical treatments, there are many testimonials to support its merit. According to Dale Vaughn, a veteran of the Vietnam War who has been using the Blu Room for his PTSD, “It feels like I’m going to a place of peace. You feel healthy and happy.”

Cynthia Williams-Patnoe, who served as a pilot in Afghanistan and suffered a brain injury when she returned home, said, “The Blu Room was very peaceful and therapeutic. My short-term memory was coming back thanks to the sessions.”
