Chromotherapy: Ancient therapy enjoys a holistic medicine upsurge!
If your doctor told you today he could write you a prescription that would prevent hair loss, acne, wrinkles or insomnia, would you be skeptical?
What if he went on to tell you that he could guarantee the prescription would have absolutely no side effects? If you’ve ever read the fine-print disclaimers that accompany your prescription medicines, such a claim would be almost unbelievable.
If he then informed you that you don’t even need a prescription to gain the benefits of this miracle remedy, you’d probably Google “quack” and expect his name and photo to be the first listed.
But the inclination to report your health care provider to the review board of the American Medical Association would be premature. Actually, he is giving you sound advice about a technique that is based upon thousands of years of science: chromotherapy.
There is nothing complicated about chromotherapy; simply put, it is the therapeutic use of light and color. Ancient cultures used light and color routinely to treat most illnesses. Evidence indicates these venerable healing practices existed in Egypt, China and India simultaneously.
Since then, chromotherapy’s scientific evolution has been well-documented.
Light therapy has regained momentum in the past few years because of consumers’ demands for natural alternatives to the mainstream medical industry’s reliance on pharmaceuticals. At the same time, more and more physicians are recognizing the benefits of chromotherapy and prescribing it for their patients.
For instance, here at Sci\ART we have received an increased number of orders from both doctors and their patients for our LED lights. Blue lights are being used to treat and prevent bacterial infections, including MRSA and acne. Red lights are effective in preventing hair loss and are also used to increase the rate of the healing process from wounds, varying from cuts and scrapes to diminishing scars. Green light heightens the immune system and works wonders to slow aging of the skin.
Read much more about how different colors have different applications at www.coloranalysis.com and then click on “Color & Light Therapy.” Better yet, plan to attend the two-day professional workshop that I will be teaching in St. Petersburg, Florida in the spring of 2010.
What you can learn about color and light therapy will illuminate this truism: When it comes to color, health and beauty are inseparable.
