Chromotherapy, also known as color light therapy, is the use of the visible spectrum, to heal physical, mental, and spiritual energy.  Each color is associated with a different bodily response.  For instance, red is typically associated with grounding energy, while blue is generally associated with calming energy.

​

Color light therapy has many benefits.  These benefits can help with:

​

Reduced Swelling and Decreased Inflammation

Applying color light therapy to swollen or inflamed areas has been known to help soothe the area and catalyze healing. This kind of chromotherapy treatment helps to relax the muscles and reverse irritation.

​

Pain Relief

Because color light therapy helps reduce swelling, inflammation, muscle tension, and other conditions typically associated with pain, the treatment often provides relief to patients.

​

Accelerated Healing

Color light treatment helps accelerate the body’s reparative efforts.  LED light therapy has been used to catalyze the healing of post-surgical scars, burns, wounds, and more.

​

Increased Range of Motion

Treatments that utilize chromotherapy lights help lubricate joints and relax the surrounding muscles, resulting in increased range of motion. This results in many benefits, including improved flexibility and injury prevention.

​

Decreased Muscle Tension

When applied to tight and tense muscle areas, color light therapy helps dissolve knots and tension to relax the body. As a result, reduced stress is a collateral benefit of color light therapy.

​

Improved Circulation

Since different colors vibrate at different frequencies, certain colors can have similar effects as heat and can affect your body’s circulation. This chromotherapy benefit is enhanced when used in conjunction with an infrared sauna.

​

Regulated Mood

Each color in the spectrum elicits a specific feeling or response, one of which is regulated moods. Using light to stimulate our endocrine systems naturally regulates hormonal imbalances, mood changes, and even depression.

​

Improved Sleeping Patterns

Mood regulation and muscle relaxation can result in improved sleeping patterns among persons that participate in color light therapy. Combining chromotherapy with sauna use can enhance this benefit even further.

​

Relief of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

We all have an internal biological clock that helps us adjust to the cyclical nature of days and nights. With SAD, which is typically triggered in the winter months, that internal clock is thrown off by shorter days and lack of sunlight. That’s where color light therapy comes in. Certain color treatments can help to offset the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder, which, in turn, helps regulates mood and improves sleeping patterns.

​

Anti-Aging Benefits

Color light therapy energizes skin cells and reinvigorates inactive skin cells. This results in a boost in collagen production. A boost in collagen gives the skin a smooth appearance and improves its elasticity.

Combining the benefits of chromotherapy treatments with infrared sauna use can help our clients customize the vibration frequencies to their unique wellness goals.
