Chromotherapy, also called color therapy, is the use
of color and light to gently bring about homeostasis. Color and
light is applied to specific areas and accupoints on the body. (Source:

"The
earth, the oceans, in fact every living thing, is dependent upon
light for its very existence. A recent scientific study disclosed
that each cell in the body emits light. We live in a sea of energy
and our bodies are composed of energy. Color works through and in
us, in every nerve, cell, gland and muscle. Within our body, our
organs, muscles, cells and nerves all have a level of vibration.
When our body becomes out of balance, disease occurs. Each color
has its own frequency and vibration. Through extensive research,
we know that color and light will help bring our physical and emotional
systems into balance." (A. Cammilleri, Trainer)
