 This type of therapy applies colors and light for proper functioning of human organism. Certain colors and light can have curing influence on certain points and fields on the body.
Color together with light have been known as natural healers from immemorial times. People in Egypt had special premises with large colored panes in the windows. Sun rays passed through these panes and filled the room with color. Some ancient practitioners covered the body of the patient with a piece of colored textile and then exposed the body to the sun rays.
Later on the color and light practitioners applied pieces of glass and special colored gel-like substances. They covered the body with these supporting equipments and then exposed the body to the sun rays. Some of them also used meditations as well as light and color.
Nowadays a lot of alternative practitioners are the followers of chromotherapy. There are a lot of new ways of color therapy techniques applying. A lot of practitioners direct colored rays from a special case to the patient’s eyes. They declare that this method is helpful for patients, who had heart strokes and for people, who suffer from anxiety and severe depression.
The followers of chromotherapy also advice to use glasses with colored lenses. Feng Shui also uses colors in homes and offices for equilibrium of energy.
Dr. Peter Mandel from Germany elaborated the scheme of color and light applying to special points on the patients body, which are known as acupuncture points. This method of treatment is called colorpuncture. It became rather widespread all over the world. In the western countries this method is used as an addition to the main course of treatment.
Recent experiments testify that using rays of blue light on the knees area helps to reduce symptoms of insomnia and other sleep disorders.
Light is the source of life for everything in the world. Each live creature needs light for proper functioning of its body systems. It was proved that cells of human body radiate the small portions of light. Everything around us and our bodies consist of energy. The energy of colored sunrays penetrates into tissues of bodies and interacts with auras. In this way color and light effect mind and body.
Each part of human body has certain type of vibration. The body becomes weak and disease occurs when the vibration of energy is inadequate. Each color has also its own oscillation. When colored light penetrates into the body tissues it affects the body vibration with its own vibration and fights health problems in this way. The nervous system and other systems in the organism become balanced under the influence of colored rays of light.
Color therapy has a lot in common with acupuncture. Both of these alternative therapies affect special points on the body in order to get positive results for the health.
