Color therapy ... The name itself evokes pleasant associations and in the head immediately there are colorful pictures. With this method of treatment, you can correct body and soul disorders.
Treatment with the help of color has been used since time immemorial. For example, the wise men of ancient India found that color vibrations help to heal many ailments.
The treatment is based on the fact that the colors cause the reaction of each of the biologically active zones of the body. Photons - elementary color particles, penetrating into our body, provoke the beginning of biological reactions in tissues, activate the production of hormones, stimulate the glands and regulate metabolism. When the color wave hits the active receptors of the iris zone of the eye, the signal goes to the brain and penetrates into all the physiological structures of the body. When an imbalance occurs in one of the organs, the normal processes can be restored by "impregnating" the body with the energy of the corresponding color.
For the treatment of various diseases, tissues or rooms, painted in the right color, are usually used. A healthy organism is in balance with the seven basic colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.
So, what color for which area does it answer:
Red color
Activates the normal metabolism, increases blood pressure and increases the pulse. If you have a headache, you can moisten the red towel with water and apply it to your head. After a while, the spasm must pass because the red color increases the production of adrenaline and improves blood circulation.
Orange color
Helps cleanse the body of toxins, beneficially affecting the work of the bladder, kidneys and adrenals. It is recommended to use this color during the menopause, because orange is able to stabilize the hormonal background.
