This mirror was created in response to the sharp rise of people suffering from depression due to covid-19.

Almost one in five adults (19.2%) were likely to be experiencing some form of depression, indicated by moderate to severe depressive symptoms, during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (June 2020). This had almost doubled from around 1 in 10 (9.7%) before the pandemic (July 2019 to March 2020).

The aim of this mirror is to create a relaxing and therapeutic bathroom that emulates a spa experience. This is achieved through integrated LED light strips and the built in humidifier that diffuses water or essential oils.

The intergrated led lighting pannels in the mirror can be used as part of a light therapy treatment. Light therapy is a way to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and certain other conditions by exposure to artificial light. SAD is a type of depression that occurs at a certain time each year, usually in the fall or winter.

During light therapy, you sit or work near a device called a light therapy box. The box gives off bright light that mimics natural outdoor light.

Light therapy is thought to affect brain chemicals linked to mood and sleep, easing SAD symptoms. Using light therapy may also help with other types of depression, sleep disorders and other conditions.

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Sometimes it’s called essential oil therapy. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the body, mind, and spirit. It enhances both physical and emotional health.

Aromatherapy is thought of as both an art and a science. Recently, aromatherapy has gained more recognition in the fields of science and medicine.

Ultrasonic diffusers disperse their essential oils into the air being carried in tiny microdroplets of water vapour. The water is converted from liquid into water vapour using ultrasonic vibrations. The ultrasonic vibrations are produced by a vibrating disk that produces sound waves at an ultra sonic frequency which we cant hear.

The waves churn the water within the reservoir of the diffuser at such a high rate it converts the water to vapour , the oil bubbles within the water become trapped inside the water droplets. This is how the smell and therapeutic effects of the oil are carried throughout the space.
