Color Therapy in a Nutshell

The fascinating world of color has a long history of use in therapies and treatments. Referred to as Chromotherapy, this practice relies on specific colors to influence how we feel and how we react in our daily lives. The theory is that different colors send out specific vibrations which can help with physical, mental, and emotional issues. From comforting blues for calmness, energizing pinks for joy, or grounding earth tones for stability - saturation & combination play a role within the healing power of color. Often products such as light sources, clothing palettes and paint are used strategically to access this form of therapy for its desired effect; results range from stress relief to improved sleep quality to bringing back balance into our lives. Colors are an integral part of our lives; we cannot imagine a world without them. Color has a profound influence on our physical and mental wellbeing. At times, it can even act as a form of therapy. Here, I have summarized my notes on color therapy.
