What is Chromotherapy?

Chromotherapy, also called color light therapy, has been a holistic healing treatment for centuries. The treatment has gained both popularity and validity since the 20th century when a published set of scientific principles explained the complete doctrine of chromotherapy and how different colors can improve health or heal us, either via visual stimulation or by directing the color at specific areas of the body.  chromotherapy is now an integrated part of many treatments and chakra healing conducted by wellness practitioners globally. 

We’ve all experienced improvements in mood when the weather turned sunny after being gloomy and dark, which is just one-way light therapy can help. But there are others as well.
