SpaSplash - Hydrotherapy Lighting Benefits
Colour therapy can be traced back to the Vedic masters of ancient India and the Egyptian healers on the banks of the Nile . Their treatments were based around the spectrum of colours that make up sunlight, and an understanding of how the different properties of each colour affect our moods and general wellbeing. |

Psychiatrists today are able to pinpoint the effect colour has on our mind and body, and the role it has in maintaining a balanced mental and physical state. Increasingly present in the fields of alternative medicine and natural healing, colour therapy is being used to treat a variety of conditions Including stress, depression and lack of energy.
According to specialists in colour therapy, each of the seven colours of the spectrum resonate with one of the body's charkas (spiritual energy centres) to bring a sense of Composure and equilibrium.*
