Chromotherapy In The Bathroom - Relax Your Mind While You Soak - Articles Surfing

In the early Egyptian culture the subject of a relationship between light and healing was a secret only available to the priests. They used this information to heal with colour in various ways and even considered it a religious duty to bathe in the spectral light of the sun.

This type of therapeutic healthcare could be described as a science which uses different colours to change vibrations of imbalance to vibrations of health.
