CHROMOTHERAPY AND THE BENEFITS OF COLOUR THERAPY

Colours have always been known to affect people’s behaviour in different ways. Some have a calming effect, while others are known to stimulate both, mental and physical activity. It may not seem very obvious, but colours play a greater role in our lives than most of us realise. In fact, colours can be so influential on the human mind and body, that they are even considered to have healing properties. Like many other alternative treatments, Colour Therapy has grown in popularity over the years and is one of the most sought after treatments today.

WHAT IS COLOUR THERAPY AND HOW IS IT USED?

Colour Therapy, or Chromotherapy is an ancient form of healing that was prevalent in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It uses a combination of light and colour to treat physical and mental ailments. Today, it is making a comeback and is one of the fastest growing sectors in natural health. Colour Therapy can be used for treating Illnesses and Disorders, Alleviating Pain, Addressing Emotional and Mental Conditions, and generally Maintaining Good Health.

BENEFITS OF COLOUR THERAPY

Light is considered to be one of the purest healing forces in the universe. The presence or absence of light can affect the Hypothalamus, Pituitary and Pineal glands. This, in turn, can influence our physical and mental health. We’ve listed a few of the various benefits that come from using colour therapy below:

  • Safe and pain-free so it can be used for children, adults and elderly alike.
  • Addresses the physical symptoms of an ailment and also its non-physical origin.
  • Balances the Chakras in the body.

    Eliminates emotional blockages before they can manifest as mental or physical illnesses.
