Physicians and Chromotherapists are starting to offer Chromotherapy to their patients because of the intense health benefits associated with the practice.

What is Chromotherapy?

The simplistic definition of chromotherapy, otherwise referred to as color light therapy and colourology, is the use of coloured light waves for therapeutic benefits. Considered a form of alternative medicine, colour light therapy is used to expose individuals to specific coloured light waves in an effort to treat different bodily ailments and conditions, as well as to promote continued health. The basic premise behind chromotherapy is that light waves can and do have an effect on the human body and that certain different coloured light waves can encourage the harmonization of the well being of an individual that partakes of colour therapy. Chromotherapy has been around for centuries and now sauna manufacturers are recognizing the incredible health benefits supplied by chromotherapy and are combining chromotherapy features with other benefits that are supplied through far infrared sauna and hydrotherapy use.
