Certain nerves from the retina go directly to the pineal gland--the hormonal regulating center--as well as the pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus, which regulates deep brain processes. These nerves have nothing to do with color perception or vision; they simply connect the eyes directly with deep brain rhythms.
This pathway between the retina and the pineal gland is a very important one when it comes to regulating mood and emotion.
Regular exposure to dichromatic (also called "dichroic") light is an effective modality for positively influencing this pathway in ways that help to reduce the negative impact of chronic stress, and to help the body shift toward greater balance and improved health.

Despite being unable to see, a group of blind migraineurs who were still able to detect light actually reported that blue light exacerbated their head pain significantly more than any other color of light. These observations helped Dr. Burstein realize there had to be a direct connection that goes from the retina into the part of the brain where neurons that are active during migraine are found.
