STOCKHOLM, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world's first country to be prescribed for its health benefits, Sweden is now shining a light on one of its most awe-inducing wellness experiences. Aurora Borealis – the original arctic light therapy.
The Swedish Prescription video shows how it works.
With interest in "northern lights travel" on the rise and 61% of travelers naming the aurora borealis as the top natural phenomenon they want to experience, the timing couldn't be better. A rare solar maximum is underway, making aurora displays brighter, more frequent and easier to catch. Sweden offers front-row access to one of nature's most powerful mood boosters.
Abisko in Swedish Lapland is consistently ranked among the best places on Earth to view the Northern Lights, thanks to its clear skies and unique microclimate.
"The time in Abisko was calming and beautiful," says Chris Brown from Louisiana, USA, who just returned home from his trip with Lights over Lapland." Seeing the Aurora was an experience we will never forget and left us with a deep awe of nature."
The health benefits of awe are well-documented. Studies show that witnessing vast, natural phenomena like the aurora can lower stress, improve mood, and foster emotional restoration.
"Seeing the Northern Lights is a great way to connect with the night sky, and my research suggests that this connection is beneficial for our mental health and happiness," says Dr. Chris Barnes, psychologist at the University of Derby in the UK.
With the Northern Lights visible up to 200 nights a year in Sweden - and peak conditions expected through 2026 due to the solar cycle - this natural spectacle is timely and therapeutic, often enjoyed from saunas, outdoor hot tubs, forest cabins, or silent reindeer rides under the Arctic sky.
A recent YouGov survey for Visit Sweden found that nearly two-thirds of respondents would consider traveling to nature if prescribed by a doctor - yet only a fraction had ever received such guidance. The Swedish Prescription bridges that gap with a curated list of science-backed, wellness-forward activities, from forest bathing and fika to cultural rituals and sky gazing.

Sweden Recommends: A Dose of Northern Lights Therapy
BEIJING, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beijing Tsingke Biotech Co., Ltd. ("Tsingke Biotech") and iGeneTech Bioscience Co., Ltd. ("iGeneTech") have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing the field of synthetic biology. This collaboration brings together the strengths of both companies to drive innovation, streamline product development, and expand market reach.
Harnessing Expertise to Transform the Industry
Synthetic biology is rapidly emerging as a transformative field with wide-reaching applications, including precision medicine, bio-breeding, and gene editing. At the core of these advancements are high-throughput and column-based synthesis, which Tsingke Biotech and iGeneTech aim to further develop.
Tsingke Biotech, a leader in gene synthesis, has developed a fully integrated industrial chain that spans raw materials, equipment, process design, AI, and digital technologies. Known for its scalability, standardization, and stability, the company's cutting-edge technology includes column synthesis and an intelligent factory-driven production system that supports from small-scale laboratory production (2nmol) to large-scale industrial synthesis (12mmol). Their gene synthesis services include:
- Primer Synthesis (<300nt)
- Gene Synthesis (300bp–5kb)
- Long Gene Synthesis (>5kb)
On the other hand, iGeneTech contributes its proprietary Ignite 3.0 high-throughput synthesis platform. With its ability to process oligo pools ranging from 4k to 650k in size and achieve synthesis lengths up to 200nt with error rates as low as 0.2%, this platform addresses key challenges around throughput, speed, and cost.
A Shared Vision for Growth
"We are excited to partner with iGeneTech, whose expertise in gene capture and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology enhances our strengths in gene synthesis," said Mr. Shijin Ma, CEO of Tsingke Biotech. "This partnership will speed up the translation of technological innovations into real-world applications, helping drive the industry forward."
Mr. Wanshi Cai, CEO of iGeneTech, added, "Tsingke Biotech's integrated industrial chain and leadership in gene synthesis will be crucial in supporting our continued growth. Together, we will push the boundaries of synthetic biology and its potential across various industries."
Both companies are committed to developing an integrated system that spans the entire spectrum from "synthesis" to "application," focusing on innovation, sustainability, and precision to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving market.
