chromotherapy
Treatment through colors
Chromotherapy is alternative medicine using colors to treat illness or improve well-being.
Practitioners expose patients to colored lights or recommend wearing certain colors, claiming each hue affects the body differently—blue to calm, red to energize.
The practice lacks scientific support but persists in wellness circles: The spa offered chromotherapy sessions in their sauna.
