Chromotherapy and Healing Power of Colors

Color therapy is one of the best methods for the treatment of diseases known as Chromotherapy. It is best used as a supportive therapy along with other natural methods of conserving health like correct diet, adequate rest and relaxation, exercise, yogic asanas, and so on.

According to practitioners of chromotherapy, the cause of any disease is often traced to the lack of a specific color in the human system.
