Why Chromotherapy Works
Light and color act as a trigger for psychological reactions. When light hits a surface, its wavelength changes and reveals color, which holds particular meanings for each person. This evolutionary trait allows colors to profoundly affect our mind and body. For example, we find brightly colored fruit more appealing than dull or pale fruit because colors indicate ripeness. The deep blue of the ocean induces a sense of calm, while the reds and oranges of a sunset energize us. These powerful effects are harnessed in chromotherapy to achieve specific therapeutic outcomes.
