WHAT IS CHROMOTHERAPY?
Light has great revitalizing and healing power as demonstrated by chromopuncture, a technique based on traditional Chinese acupuncture that stimulates energy pathways thanks to small light sources.
Light is the first and main source of energy that exists in the universe. Going from darkness to light is like going from death to life. The word "light" is synonymous with physical and spiritual healing. The entire creation is governed by a universal duality. Light and darkness, day and night, heat and cold, birth and death,..., all events in the universe are subjected to this duality, from the metabolism of our cells to the binary functioning of computers. The ancient Chinese called it the Yang and Yin.
An ancient therapy
Throughout history, many cultures have used light as a means of healing. In ancient Persia, the cult of light (based on the vibrations of colors) known by the name of Ahura Mazda was used; also in Egypt, at the time of Heliopolis (temple of light dedicated to the sun) the wise healed with the help of precious stones used as lenses that filtered sunlight; In India, this therapy has always existed, especially through the Parsis, doctors from Persia who were in charge of transmitting this tradition. Hippocrates, the great physician of classical antiquity and father of Western medicine, was an enthusiast of heliotherapy, which he recommended as a particularly effective healing method.
But, it is without a doubt in China, before Sumerian times, where the first forms of symbolism of the colors associated with the new needs of men occur, and where the authentic bases of what today in day is called chromopuncture. Already in this century the Danish doctor Niels Finsen, the founder of modern phototherapy -healing by light-, won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1903, for his research work on light and color, in the treatment of diseases . And in 1904 Rollier followed with his work on phototherapy.
WHAT IS CHROMOPUNCTURE?
A technique based on traditional Chinese acupuncture, through which the body's energy pathways are stimulated thanks to small colored light bulbs. In modern language it would be the action of photons (particles that form light) on cations (electropositive of a molecule) contained in the organic electrolytic solution, especially in the mesenchyme or matrix of the cell. The human body contains a large amount of metallic substances in the form of microscopic particles such as iron, aluminum, copper, lead, etc., which are found in our organic fluids such as blood or the fluid that surrounds cells. When light, thanks to the particles that compose it, that is, photons, collides with these metals, a physical effect called photoelectric is produced. This phenomenon produces a certain energy that depends on the wavelength, that is, the color of said light. And it is this energy that is transmitted through the energetic "meridians" that allow the maintenance of all bodily functions.
HOW DOES IT CURE?
The mechanism of action was discovered by the German scientist Popp, who verified that intercellular transmissions in the nervous system are carried out through photonic stimuli, that is, thanks to light. The human being is a system in permanent flow and reflux of information that constantly tries to maintain balance. This means that we are basically a system in a permanent information process, both physical and emotional sensations. When said "information" is not assimilated by our body, the balance is broken. Healing consists of "reprogramming" making the most appropriate light reach the body's energy circuits. In each cell of the body there are numerous exchange processes between the inside and the outside of it, and the same thing happens on a larger scale in each one of us: we introduce information, for example in the form of food, and we restore other information in the form of waste. organic. But inside the cell there are numerous cations that are constantly moving with each other, and these collisions produce a superadded kinetics, that is, they accelerate the process even more, and collisions are produced from which photons, that is, light, are released.< /p>
A COLOR FOR EACH CASE
The human eye can distinguish 169 shades of colors and by mixing them together, we can obtain an endless variety. However, according to Goethe, there are only three primary colors: red, yellow and blue, since all the others arise from them.
