From
time immemorial, colors have been credited with miraculous healing
powers. Sages of ancient India discovered how the unique vibration
of each color could help heal ailments, and this knowledge was
later codified in the Atharva Veda, ancient Indian scripture,
as Surya Kiran Chikitsa—healing with the sun's rays.
In the Egypt of yore, temples had special healing rooms where
the sun dispersed the seven colors of the rainbow. Today, this
ancient healing technique is making a popular comeback under the
quasi-scientific label of chromotherapy.
