What is Chromotherapy?

As its name says, Chromotherapy consists in the application of colors to achieve effects in our moods. However, it is not the colors themselves that make us feel better, but rather the energy of the light that they reflect, thus becoming colors.

This therapy uses eight basic colors: yellow, red, orange, green, magenta, violet, blue and turquoise. Colors are found in many places, and, used in the frames that this therapy imposes, they considerably affect our physical and emotional states.

Chromotherapy takes elements of Psychology, Art and Physics. Dr. Brainard has worked extensively with experiments on how wavelengths affect our body, and has reached conclusions that place chromotherapy as a valid therapy.

However, criticism from traditional medicine is strong, and instead of taking it as a therapy, having unverifiable results is considered a pseudo science.
