The Chromotherapy

Colored light therapy is commonly known as the chromotherapy. It is the science and art that uses the power of colors in order to restore health and the personal well being of a person. During the ancient times, the Indians and the Greeks used colors in the treatment of the weak and the infirm. The Egyptians also believed that Thot, (one of their gods) was the divine origin of the natural color healing. The color light energy based its principles on the ancient belief that the human body is comprised of various energy fields. In order to replace the energy that is deficient, energy is needed to regain the balance in the person’s physical state.

The colored light therapy is applied in the treatment of various skin problems such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis. In some cases, the therapy is also used to counteract with some psychiatric and psychological illnesses or the seasonal depression. During the treatment the condition of the patient would dictate what color will be used for the procedure. Each color wavelength varies so a certain color can treat depression but not acne. The full spectrum color therapy is considered as the safest wherein the vibrations are in its full spectrum.

Basically, there are three ways on how the color therapy is administered. The first one is the spot therapy where a specific color is directly applied to a certain part of the body through direct touch. The second one is the chakra color therapy. The procedure includes the exposure of the energy points of the body or the “chakra” with a specific colored light. And the last one is the pyramid color therapy wherein the geometrical shapes of the pyramids are combined with the healing properties of colors.
