Color therapy is an inexpensive and readily available form of alternative therapy, which can be an effective tool for treating the symptoms of excess stress.
Over millennia the colors found in nature have been influencing human beings such that their effect is deeply felt in all of us and their meanings instinctively understood. Our ancestors saw the bright blue sky, gray heavy clouds, rich green grass, and the glow of a red sunset, and understood their impact on their life and livelihood.
Nevertheless, it remains difficult to be definitive about all the effects of color because, for example, dark gray clouds can be viewed with positive anticipation by some and dread by others. Those in drought stricken areas of the world will be joyful at the prospect of a heavy downpour whilst others will view it as unwelcome.
In the same way, different cultures have opposing views of colors, some associating death with white and others with black, for example.
Some colors though are universal in their effect.
Since dark blue is associated with nightfall which heralds a time of quiet, rest and sleep, dark blue surroundings may be helpful in reducing stress and tension whereas the stimulating colors of a new day, such as yellow, and the hot sun colors or red and orange, would be best avoided by the stressed, yet energizing for the lethargic.
Other colors affect us more individually and their impact depends on our energy levels, state of mind and state of health at any given time. Ian Scott, in his foreword to Dr Max Luscher's "The Luscher Color Test", published in the late 1960s, suggested that our color choices could be affected by several things including "the state of glandular balance or imbalance". In other words, it seems colors have the power to affect the glands of the endocrine system which play such a major part in our body functions.
