What is chromotherapy?

Chromotherapy is when colors are used to help people feel better or heal.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toys, some make you laugh, others calm you down. That’s kind of like what chromotherapy does, but with light colors instead of toys.

How it works

When we look at different colors, they can affect how our body and mind feel. For example, blue might help you relax, just like when you take a long, deep breath before bedtime. Red could make your heart beat faster, like when you're excited about going to the park.

Why it's used

People use chromotherapy in places like hospitals or schools. Sometimes, doctors put up colorful lights to help people feel happier or less tired. It’s like giving your body a gentle hug from light and color, no magic needed, just everyday fun stuff!
