Chromatherapy, the healing power of colors :

Chromotherapy is neither scientifically recognized nor medically validated by the French Academy of Medicine. This is an alternative medicine that can only be used as a complement to, and not instead of, allopathic medicine.

The principle of chromotherapy :

Just as a musical instrument needs to have all its strings tuned to the right key to produce a harmonious sound, chromatherapy is designed to let us enjoy the entire basic spectrum of colors. Each one offers specific benefits. According to the principle of chromotherapy, colors can provide us with exceptional stimuli, such as the modification of certain moods that affect a person’s overall balance. According to chromotherapy enthusiasts, colors can calm or even increase vital energy, or correct certain disorders.
