Chromotherapy Sauna Benefits: Color Therapy Explained

Chromotherapy sauna benefits include physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.  It is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Each color possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, while each vibration is related to different physical symptoms.

Our bodies need the sun’s light to live, consequently that light can actually be broken down into a seven color spectrum. An imbalance of any of those colors can manifest itself in physical and mental symptoms. Color therapy works on various energy points to help balance your body via the full spectrum of visible light, as a result each color addresses a distinct need.

Color therapy has roots in Indian medicine (Ayurveda), ancient Egyptian culture and traditional Chinese healing. Hence, color and light have been utilized by healers for thousands of years.
