CROMOTHERAPY
" LIGHT, THE BASIS OF EXISTENCE OF ALL THINGS
HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SOURCE OF LIFE FOR MANKIND"
Introduction
The cromotherapy has ancient origins, because traditional medicines have always
attributed great importance to the influence of colours on the health and the state of
mind of human beings. Egypts, Roman and Greek practiced heliotherapy (direct
exposure to sunlight) to cure various disturbs.
In India the medicine called ayurvedica has always held account of how colours
influence the equilibrium of the chakra.
Also the Chinese entrusted their physical well-being to the benefits of various colors; for
example the windows of the patient's room were to be covered with burlaps of an
adeguate color and the sick person had to wear clothes of the same ink. During the last
years cromotherapy has had a remarkable development thanks to numerous scientific
studies that evidence the benefits of colours on the nervous, metabolic and immunity
system.
The therapeutic effect of color on the human organism is connected to the oscillating
nature of our cells: the malaise or the disease, in fact, is nothing else as a disarmony of
the vibrating rhythm of the cells on which the colours have harmonizing power. From the
therapeutic point of view the cromotherapy is considered "a gentle therapy", as it is not
invasive. Generally it does not introduce particular side-effects and it supplies
immediate benefits to the person undergoing the treatment, without creating
dependency. The cromotherapy can be applied singularly or as a potentialization of
other therapies, being a perfect "catalyst" in order to stimulate natural processes of
restoring health.
