What is color light therapy, and what are its benefits?
Color light has been used for thousands of years to promote healing, relieve pain and for spiritual attunement purposes. There are records of color light healing from as far back as ancient Egypt and Greece. In modern times, low level light has been used for pain relief, cancer therapy, addictions, facial rejuvenation, treatment of depression and much more. Color light is also used as a form of acupuncture treatment, and provides a stronger body-mind-emotions connection than traditional needle therapies.
How does color heal the body?
Photons (light particles) and phonons (sound particles) have been shown to be integral parts of the body’s amazing internal communication network. This “living matrix” also includes neuro-peptides such as hormones and neuro-transmitters. Research in Russia has confirmed that light actually travels through the meridian system, as has been confirmed using sensitive test equipment called a photo-multiplier.
Each color (wavelength) of light carries information to the cells of the body, and gently triggers improved functions. For example, the liver is very sensitive to Red and Green light. Red stimulates a sluggish, weakened liver, while Green reduces inflammation and helps smooth the flow of Qi, or life energy associated with the liver. Orange light helps treat hypo-thyroid conditions with fatigue, weight gain and dry skin by boosting thyroid hormone output, while Indigo light has the opposite effect, reducing hyper-thyroid conditions such as nervousness, weight loss and goiter.
*The application of micro-current and color light through acupuncture points has been shown to be particularly powerful for shortening treatment times and improving results for acute and chronic pain patients and for cosmetic facial rejuvenation anti-aging treatments.
