- Color Therapy
History
By Krishan Bakhru
The history of color therapy
is very ancient. This system of therapy was prevalent not only
in India but also in Egypt, China, Greece and Persia. Even the
Vedas and Jain scriptures have mentioned the significance of
colors.

The practice of color therapy
was on its decline in the middle Ages, and new systems of medicine
like Ayurveda, Unani, Homoeopathy, Allopathy had started flourishing,
attracting people's attention. Color therapy took a back seat.
The twentieth century is the
period of revival of color therapy. There is evidence that it
developed most in the U.S.A. People were so impressed with its
successful experiments that the other systems of medicine suffered
a setback. A stage came when the government of the U.S.A. had
to take legal steps to ban color therapy. Later, it developed
more in European countries. Many practitioners of the modern
system of medicine adopted color therapy. High ­level
research was carried out and several books were written on the
subject. As the common man's faith in and attraction towards
this system kept growing, it is now being used more widely.
The system of color therapy has
prospered in India in the last 50 years. People are now convinced
of its miraculous results. As it stands today, it may become
the top-most therapeutic system in a few year cooking. This great
energy can even make cars run. |

It is being practised at several
centres now and literature on the subject is also available.
Some homoeopaths and practitioners of modern medicine have also
started using this system. In every area, a change comes only
when the time is right for it.
The basis of this system is solar
energy, the color and light of the sun-rays on which everyone
has a birthright and can use without having to pay for it. The
system is absolutely natural and simple. Medicines affected by
the rays of the sun are so subtle and powerful that they can
cure many diseases which other systems are unable to, or have
to resort to surgery to cure them. This therapeutic system is
closely related to one's body, mind and emotions. |
