Tara its wonderful blog. For this Helios therapy in particular, I would like to ask/ provide suggestion/ state about Surya Namaskar in ancient Indian culture. Apart from Sun rays exposure, it also states that Rays of Sun at the time of dawn are best to be absorbed upon. Also, there is a practice to give a jal (water) prayer. My grandma told me that you need to mix some sugary items to the water then take the pot of water above your head and then pour it slowly facing the Sun. It gives a prismatic effect to our eyes and helps our vision.
Love to have your comments on it.
