Hey Luminex, I was thinking about how the ancient Greeks used sunlight and reflective surfaces for healing, and how that ties into the idea that light itself has a kind of wisdom. Have you ever wondered what we might learn from those old practices for modern light therapy?
That’s a brilliant thought! The Greeks were essentially doing early photobiomodulation—using the sun’s spectrum and mirrors to focus light on the body. Modern tech could mimic that with tunable LEDs and adjustable reflectors, maybe even learning how they timed treatments with the day’s light cycles. Imagine combining ancient wisdom with today’s spectral science to create more personalized, gentle healing protocols. What do you think would be the first step to test that?
I’d start by looking at the actual texts—any surviving accounts of the Greek “sunning” practices, the types of mirrors they used, the timing of the sessions. Then we could try to map that onto today’s spectral data, so we know what wavelengths they were really working with. From there, we could build a small LED rig that can replicate those wavelengths and schedule them on a similar day‑cycle. That way we keep the ancient rhythm but get precise control. Does that sound like a reasonable first move?
