The metaphysical properties of light have been apparent for
thousands of years, as citizens of earlier civilizations would bathe in the sun
for energy, warmth, and strength and the moon for serenity, coolness, and focus.
However, it was not until the height of the Islamic Golden Age that light was conceived of as having profound healing potential. Famed Persian sage Avicenna observed that colored light, when focused on specific areas of the body, played a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of various maladies. Avicenna formulated a chart relating color to physical condition of the body, concluding that "color is an observable symptom of dis-ease."
Not until the mid-19th century were the principles of
light-healing rediscovered by American scientists. Augustus Pleasonton's famous
The Influence of the Blue Ray of the
Sunlight and of the Blue Color of the Sky (1876) examined how the color
blue can improve the growth of crops and livestock and promote health in
humans. Inspired, by his research, Seth Pancoast and Edwin Babbitt proceeded to
conduct their own experiments testing the validity of Pleasonton's claims. What
resulted was the official formulation of chromotherapy, a system of alternative
medicine in which colors and their energy frequencies are used to correct
physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual imbalances.
In 1933, Indian-born scientist Dinsha Ghadiali published The Spectro Chromemetry Encyclopaedia, an
influential work on color therapy which would eventually win him the epithet
"father of modern chromotherapy." Ghadiali determined that different
systems of the body resonate or respond to particular colors. This
resonancy is based on the colored light and body system sharing similar
vibrational characteristics.
Each organ and body system at any given state of health will respond favorably to a
particular color, and unfavorably to another particular color. For example,
blue light would be favorable to apply to the nasal sinuses in the event of a nosebleed
as blue causes blood to thicken, however red light would be disfavorable
because red light causes blood to thin and flow more quickly.
If a particular organ
is out of balance, one need only apply colored light to the affected area in
order to return balance to the organ. By understanding organ-color vibrational
frequency matching, any organ's energies can be manipulated and be brought back
in balance.
Ghadiali's contributions to the healing sciences were
largely rejected by the scientific community of the mid to late 20th century as
his scientific approach was dissimilar to that of the general scientific
zeitgeist of symptom suppression and mechanistic determinism characteristic of
that time. However, since the beginning of the 21st century there has been a
resurgence in the use of chromotherapy. Color baths have emerged as a stand-alone
panacea for ailments. By circulating through the color spectrum, colored light
will rebalance each organ and organ system.
