Few persons recognize the true function but in fashion colors. Fashion models often succeed one another, mixing tones and colors are anachronistic. For the informed observer, who knows well enough chromotherapy, there are some obvious contradictions. For example, warm colors, very fashionable in the summer, should be worn over the winter. Also, flashy colors you wear most often extrovertitii, clothes people should be melancholic and lymphatic temperament to harmonize them.

Use clothing as a way to improve physical health additional, physical and mental, may not be obvious at first glance, but it is still an important factor in balance, we infer that women often spontaneously.

Many religious communities, using for example, white as a symbol of purity and elevation in the wedding ceremony, or black as a symbol of austerity and detachment from material things in the funeral ceremonies. It is also known that red symbolizes and stimulates the action of the revolutionary events.

This is because the color of the garments is of much lower intensity to that of sunlight or a lamp chromotherapy. It is natural therefore to apply the main features about the same color clothes as with curative properties of color.

How we use chromotherapy?

Another easy and affordable enough for the application of color therapy is the use of colored glasses.

It is enough to obtain for ordinary glass, but colored factory in an appropriate color our intention. Such a colored glass having, of course, the color you want, will be filled with ordinary water and then will be exposed stoppered, as long as the sun. This water will then drink water instead of regular.

In this light we properly expose completely naked body, from 10 minutes to 3 hours per day. It is very important to be aware that this lamp filters to be changed depending on color chosen.

It can also be used if we have a slide projector whose bulb will be chosen to have a power of 150-400 W. In this case, obviously, will attach to the outside, above the target, or a glass filter appropriate color or photographic filters, depending on the existing colors, fully adapted to our needs.

In the absence of a slide projector, we can even use a magnifying glass capacitors convergence, aiming to focus on this light, especially the affected areas. Obviously, in this case, focus will place a glass - a color filter as well right situation we want to treat.
