Colours of liquid - chromotherapy

We are all influenced by the colour of our surroundings (i.e. the electromagnetic radiation that is represented by a specific wavelength). The colours around us are not insignificant, e.g. the colour of walls in our flat, the shades of our clothes, etc.

Chromotherapy, or colour treatment, consists of using different colours to sooth mental and physical unrest. It is difficult to explain the effect in medical terms, however we naturally sense the benefit of colour on us. Perhaps the light waves influence the speed and energy of chemical reactions in our bodies.

One thing is certain, healing with colours was popular in ancient China, India, and Egypt. As we reach back to natural healing techniques, chromotherapy is prominently regaining its rightful position among other beneficial practices.
