What is Color Therapy ?
Color Therapy or ChromoTherapy, sometimes called as Colorology is distinct from other types of light therapy, such as neonatal jaundice treatment and blood irradiation therapy which is a scientifically accepted medical treatment for a number of conditions, and from Photo Biology, the scientific study of the effects of light on living organisms, is an alternative medicine method, which is considered pseudoscience. Chromotherapists claim to be able to use light in the form of color to balance “energy” lacking from a person’s body, whether it be on physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels.
Scientific proof to believe in Color Therapy :
Research says, color can absolutely affect your mood, behavior and stress levels. They influence the flow and amount of energy in our bodies. In healing, colors act as balancers: we administer the color(s) someone needs more of, or we give the opposite of the color someone has too much of.
However, true healing comes about when the root cause of the condition / illness is addressed and transformed. If healing doesn’t go further than a mere relief or masking of the symptoms, then, eventually, the disease/illness will resurface and manifest itself within the body in one form or another.
Uses of Color Therapy
Color Therapy is an area of holistic methodology that uses light and color to:
- treat illness and disorders,
- alleviate physical ailments and pain,
- address mental and emotional conditions,
- prevent illness and maintain good health,
as well as being used for those specific problems, Color Therapy balances energy and restores vitality throughout the body; helps relaxation and meditation; aids awareness, inspiration and protection; lifts spiritual awareness; and helps one to understand their needs for certain colours. By absorbing and altering the colours that surround us, we can alter our state of health and imbalances. The attributes and qualities of each color cause a shift in energy and this aids in restoring the body to good health.
