People suffering from seasonal affective disorder report feeling better after a visit to the tanning salon for a tanning bed session. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is an all too common disorder that affects many people during our long winter months. These “winter blues” can be mild for some people but very debilitating for others. The rays emitted by Catch-A-Tan’s beds have been proven to aid in treatment for those suffering from SAD. Tanning can be very helpful to aid in the treatment of the “winter blues” as well as part of a treatment program developed with the aid of a physician. Arthritis pain and PMS are two conditions that have symptoms alleviated by the sun’s rays. Joint pain can be relieved during the cold, damp months of winter, and the symptoms of PMS can be helped by moderate tanning.
