WHAT IS CHROMOTHERAPY?
Chromotherapy, also called color therapy, is the use of color and light
to gently bring about homeostasis. Color and light is applied to specific
areas and accupoints on the body to provide therapy.
HISTORY OF COLOR AND LIGHT HEALING
Color and light have been used for healing across time. Ancient
Egyptians built solarium-type rooms with colored panes of glass. The
sun would shine through the glass and flood the patient with color.
Some people use colored silk cloths which are placed on the body and
then flooded with sunlight. Early color and light healers in the modern
world used colored gels and sheets of glass to apply light to the body.
Others used color infused water and color meditations to send healing
rays to the person.
Today, there are many practitioners who use color and light in
interesting ways. Some therapists have a box with a mechanism that
flickers light into the eyes. They report success in speeding the recovery
of stroke victims and those people who experience chronic depression.
