Chromotherapy and its effects on human

 

Chromotherapy, which means "colour therapy"  is concerned with the study of colours. According to the science of chromotherapy, which examines colours and their energy effects as a therapeutic tool, each hue has the power to affect our mood in a distinctive way in addition to affecting our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The method, which has been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1976, aims to improve patients' conditions without the use of medications.

 

In China (2700 BC), with traditional Chinese medicine, it was thought that each person had their own system of colours (or colour), and that via it, much of their lives and events were defined. According to chromotherapy, a science that studies colours and that Also steeped in mysticism, the Greeks were the first to embrace chromotherapy in Greece (500 BC). Through heliotherapy, a form of sun-ray therapy, they adored the Sun god Helios, who was revered as "the eye of the world," or the one who sees everything.

 

Chromotherapists, who specialise in colour therapy, research the makeup of colours and how they affect people. Its foundation is the idea that light's colour gradations and impacts on emotion and physical status are possible.

Scientifically speaking, it must be mentioned that this procedure does not enjoy the favour of scientists.

In actuality, there haven't been any studies carried out to date using the high standards required to be recognised as a medical practise.

Consequently, it is categorised as one of the complementary and alternative medicines with one extremely advantageous feature: it has neither adverse effects nor contraindications.

Lets have a brief description on colours and its effects on human mood.

RED: Red is a colour associated with vigour and hunger. Because it stimulates the nerve system strongly and must be handled carefully, it creates extreme stimulation. It's also connected to passion and love.

The hue is used to denote areas where food is prepared, such as the dining room and kitchen, and it has the ability to give the space a cosy sense. Red can be utilised to arouse feelings of love in a couple's bedroom when administered properly. In contrast, when taken in excess, it results in agitation and anxiety, which can cause insomnia.

ORANGE: Orange is a symbol of rebirth, intelligence, and bravery. It encourages communication and creativity by assisting in the metabolism and digestive system's activation. Therefore, it is advised in settings where you wish to develop conversations, including visiting rooms and workplaces.

Orange, which is frequently used in kitchens and dining rooms, can help boost appetites. Avoid using orange in bedrooms and rest spaces since it can lead to heated debates when used excessively.

YELLOW: Similar to orange, yellow is an extremely energising colour that affects the mind and hunger. It stimulates energy and the ability to express oneself and is connected to personal strength and fulfilment.

Its use in dark areas is strongly advised because it is derived from light. Yellow welcomes you in living and leisure places. Dark tones need caution because they can be overused and produce distractions, difficulty focusing, and friction. Light tones are more versatile and neutral.

GREEN: In reference to nature and organic materials like plants, flowers, and wood, the colour green represents life and growth. It symbolises fulfilment and hope, fostering health and well-being. It has a relaxing impact on individuals because it doesn't reflect a lot of light.

BLUE: Blue induces a calming sense by lowering the heart and respiration rates. It is a colour that promotes introspection and meditation. Its use is recommended in areas like bedrooms and study spaces where you want to portray peace and privacy. It can make you drowsy and depressed if used excessively.

VIOLET: Violet symbolises tranquillity and mental peace. Color enhances self-esteem and helps with attention. It promotes romance in pink tones and spirituality in deeper blue tones.

Violet is advised in health spaces and beds because of its energy-purifying properties. To prevent anxiety and depressive symptoms, use it sparingly.

It's necessary to emphasize that colour therapy is not an effective cure for any mental or physical health issues. It's essential to discuss any medical issues with your doctor if you think you may be suffering from a disorder like depression.
