Colour therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a holistic therapy that uses coloured light to positively impact mood, energy, and overall well-being. Each colour carries a unique vibrational frequency that can influence the body's energy centers, also called chakras.
This therapy is often used in self-care routines for relaxation, such as using blue for calmness and green for connection to nature, or for stimulation, like red to increase energy and vitality.
Some light therapies, including blue light for seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or ultraviolet light for certain skin conditions, are supported by scientific research.
Colour therapy works by evoking both psychological and physiological responses. Warm colours like red and orange are associated with stimulation and energy, while cooler colours such as blue and green encourage calm and relaxation. As a complementary therapy, it can be integrated with other healing modalities to enhance overall outcomes.
