What is Chromotherapy?
It has its origins in the chakra color theory, an ancient theory from India. Today, this ancient teaching has been combined with new discoveries that allow us to observe the influence of color vibration and the response it causes in the human body.
This method tells us about an influence of the color according to its energetic meaning in each area of the body, specifically where the chakra is located that is related to the illness or disease to be treated. The application of this alternative medical method is based on the belief that colors influence us, not only mentally (as can be seen in its use in advertising) but also physically, and that is why chromotherapy is a cutting-edge proposal in its use as therapy.
Those who practice chromotherapy indicate that the color of the food also has a great influence on how it directly affects the health of the person who eats it. For this reason, this method also proposes theories about the correct balance of colors in foods and their consumption, with the aim of treating some illness, since a good balance could have a positive influence on the organism.
This would be like a language known by the body itself but unknown to human consciousness.
