Color Psychology as Therapy
Ancient cultures, such as the Egyptians and Chinese, used colors for healing. This approach is still used today as holistic or alternative treatments.
- Red was used to stimulate the body and mind and to increase circulation.
- Yellow was thought to stimulate the nerves and purify the body.
- Blue was believed to soothe illnesses and treat pain.
Most psychologists view color therapy with skepticism and point out that the supposed effects of color are often grossly exaggerated. What do you think?
