The bright light plays across my closed eyelids and, as I breathe in, a tangy waft of citrus fills my nostrils.

明亮的光线划过我紧闭的双眼，借着我深吸了一口气，一股沁人心脾的柑橘香味飘进了我的鼻腔。

But far from lounging under a Mediterranean sun, surrounded by lemon trees, I’m in a medispa in London’s Belgravia, trying out the latest 15-minute therapy for stressed-out execs who want a quick reboot.

但我可不是悠闲地躺在地中海的日光下，身边是成群的柠檬树，而只是在伦敦贝尔格莱威亚的一家温泉会所里尝试最新的15分钟放松舒缓疗法而已，希冀能够让自己重新振作起来。

It combines the sort of light stimulation used by lamps shown to alleviate SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder — seasonal depression, thought to be caused by lack of exposure to sunlight) with aromas scientifically proven to have an effect on the mind and body — a cross between light therapy and clinical aromatherapy.

研究表明有三种气味能够在很大程度上影响人的感受以及行为。“薰衣草含有一种名为芳樟醇天然麻醉成分，这也就是其能够以使人放松而闻名的原因。柑橘类的芳香能够起到抗抑郁的作用。而薄荷则被证实能够提升运动表现。”

测试表明比起单独的光线或是气味，将光线与气味结合在提升情绪方面更为有效——最重要的是，这一转变仅需15分钟。

You simply sit back, relax, allow the therapist to position the lamp correctly and load up your chosen capsule. Then breathe for 15 minutes.
