It is a therapy that uses the electromagnetic frequencies of colors to stimulate physical, mental, emotional and energetic balance, promoting the harmonization of the organism in a systemic way.
Chromotherapy has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1976 and has been included in the list of Integrative and Complementary Practices in Health (PICS) in SUS – since March 2018.
This very ancient practice was used by the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese and Indians, who initially benefited from therapy through the colors of flowers, minerals and precious stones, including for medicinal purposes.
Chromotherapy has a wide application, we can mention: food, harmonization of environments, clothing, chromopuncture (application of colors on acupuncture points), chromated or solarized water (exposure of water to sunlight), light sticks (direction chakras or other body regions) and in business, as the chosen colors can leverage sales according to market or product segmentation.
In 1920, Dr. Dinshah Ghadiali introduced her healing system with colored lights to the world in New York City. He called his development Spectro-Chrome. The studies and research of Dr. Dinshah proved that the body could be benefited when exquisitely exposed to light, but he came under severe criticism at that time.
However, his theory is very well explained nowadays with the example of the medical conduct of phototherapy that uses blue light to treat neonatal jaundice, in a non-invasive way, normalizing the health of babies.
According to experts and scholars, each color has a different electromagnetic frequency that resonates with different parts of our body and emotional states, restoring balance in a systemic or isolated way, depending on the treatment applied.
