Chromotherapy, sometimes called color therapy or colorology, is an alternative medicine method. Therapist trained in chromotherapy can use colour and light to balance energy, be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental.
Colour therapy is possibly rooted in Ayurveda, an ancient form of medicine practiced in India for thousands of years. Other historic roots are attributed to Chinese and ancient Egyptian culture.

Health is contingent upon balancing not only our physical needs, but our emotional needs as well. In India, a group of healers versed in Ayurvedic medicine describe colours associated with the seven main chakras, which are spiritual centers in our bodies.
