COLOR THERAPY (CHROMOTHERAPY)

Dr Santosh Singh
Consultant Ayurvedacharya, Levioza Health Care, Mumbai.

Color is radiant energy, which is visible. It appears as different colours due to presence of photoreceptors called "cones" in our eye. There are 3 kinds of cones: one for blue, one for green and one for red color. Combination of these colors leads to perception of other colors. When the light rays of color enter our bodies, they stimulate the various endocrine glands especially, the pituitary and pineal glands causing a variety of physiological processes.

This concept of colors affecting your body is part of the ancient Chinese technique "Feng Shui".

Blue color - It lowers the blood pressure, heart rate and respiration. It also has a cooling effect.

Green color - It also has a soothing and relaxing effect (like blue color) on the body as well as the mind. It alleviates the mood in depressed and ill patients.

Red color - It increase the heart rate, respiration and blood pressure. It simulates and warms the body. It is useful for anemic patients and patients with hypotension.

Pink color - It relaxes the muscles and acts as a tranquilizer.

Orange color - It increases the appetite and decreases tiredness.

Yellow color - It has an energizing effect just as sunshine. Anything written on yellow paper is easier to remember.

Black - It increases self-confidence. However, it also decreases the appetite.

Violet - It suppresses the appetite. It is useful for migraine headaches.
