But then, how does it work, in practice? “Chromatherapy works on the endocrine system. When this system is well nourished, all the functions start working again.” Cécile Georgeault explains: “Colors have a frequency in hertz. Our whole body is governed by these frequencies. And the colors work with the chakras, which also have a frequency. When we wear a particular color, our body will absorb it, which amounts to absorbing the frequency. Certain colors then propagate a positive energy to the problem detected”.
Are certain colors to be avoided for morale?
Yes of course ! The practitioner explains:“People who wear black, in general, are not that happy. This hue absorbs all energies. While the white repels them. This is also why the nursing staff adopted this nuance. In the same vein, a slightly depressed person, who does not feel like doing much, should avoid blue, which tends to calm. Conversely, a hyperactive person has every interest in avoiding exciting shades of red and favoring blue or green.
