It is experienced that different colors have different powers to heal health problems. For eg. red color can increase blood circulation and white and blue are having tendency to cool down the blood. The yellow is reducing muscular pain and inflammation.
History of Chromotherapy
This type of treatment is originated from Ayurveda in India. The traditional form of Chinese treatment believes that each body organ is associated with each color. In ancient days Egyptians built a special type of rooms called solarium which has pans of glass in various colors. The patient would get treatment by letting them under the sunlight in different colors. The different colored glasses were used to cure different body complaints. In another method of chromotherapy, different colored bottles are used to fill water and let them in sunlight for some time. Water from a particular colored bottle will be used for the treatment.
Different Chakras and Their Colors
Spiritual Science says that there are seven chakras placed along the spine of our body. Each chakra is associated with the particular organ or system of our body. Each chakra has its own color and if the colors become imbalanced, a lot of health problems will arise in that particular body. Chromotherapy is based on this chakra concept.
