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.
Blu Room & PTSD
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.”
