Chromotherapy Soaker Tub
Chromotherapy, sometimes called colour therapy, is based on the premise that certain colours are infused with healing energies. The therapy promots balance and healing in the mind and body. Colour therapy is rooted in Ayurveda, an ancient form of medicine practiced in India for thousands of years. Ayurveda is based on the idea that every individual contains the five basic elements of the universe: earth, water, air, fire and infinity (space). These elements are present in specific proportions unique to an individual's personality and constitution. When these elements are out of balance through unhealthy living habits or outside forces, an imabalance may result. Ayurvedic medicine uses the energies inherent in the colours of the spectrum to restore this balance.
