Heliotherapy is defined as the treatment of disease and other disorders by exposing the body to sunlight.
It is recognized that sunburn and long-term UV-overexposure can cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. However, there is no proof that moderate tanning is harmful. Rather, the science of Heliotherapy supports the idea that regular, controlled exposure to the sun offers many health benefits including:
Decreased blood pressure
Lower blood cholesterol
Increased tolerance of stress
Increased resistance to infections
Hope that helps explain things. did for me. i'd never heard of it before!

It sounds like a fancy word for going to a tanning salon and paying for a tan. You can save yourself a lot of money by just laying in the sun with some good suntan lotion.
