Colour Therapy

This therapy involves treatment with particular colours of light, applied in a variety of ways. It is based on the idea that certain wavelengths of light have healing effects on specific parts of the body or mind. Therapists claim to be able to treat many disorders, including depression, stress, learning difficulties and skin problems.

The therapist takes your medical history and asks you about your colour preferences. He or she then suggests treatment. This may involve basking in coloured lights, wearing clothes of certain colours, eating foods of a particular colour, or drinking water that has been treated with coloured light.
