Cromotherapy

Chromotherapy, sometimes called color therapy, colorology or cromatherapy, is a complementary medicine method. Trained chromotherapists claim to be able to use light in the form of color to balance "energy" wherever a person's body be lacking, whether it be on physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels.

Used to treat both physical and emotional problems (for example, to treat illness and disorders, alleviate physical ailments and pain, address mental and emotional conditions or prevent to prevent illness and maintain good health), Colour Therapy may involve exposure to coloured lights, massage using colour-saturated oils, contemplating and visualising colours, even wearing coloured clothing and eating coloured foods.

The practice is pseudoscientific, since it does not employ the scientific method.
