Color Therapy - A Hi-Tech Approach

Two Approaches
There are two schools of thought in the selection of colors.  There is the "allopathic" and the "homeopathic" approach to prescribing a color.  In the allopathic approach you use the color that is lacking, and in the homeopathic approach you use the color that is in excess.  As an example, if the patient has a fever, the allopath prescribes aspirin to reduce the fever.  The homeopath prescribes a minute amount of a chemical known to raise body temperature.  Likewise, in a homeopathic approach to color therapy, you give the color that is already in excess, and the body says, "whoa, we already have too much blue," and the body reduces the blue to bring things into balance.  Both schools agree that more is not better, and light treatment should always be as gentle as possible.  Whereas, mild stimuli will excite physiological action, strong stimuli will retard or abolish the physiological action.

Color Application
Once one has a knowledge of the seven chakras, then a logical application of color therapy follows.  The color associated with a chakra will stimulate the underactive endocrine gland or non-endocrine organ associated with that chakra.  Therefore, treat the organ through the chakra.  This simple law allows one to extrapolate to gem therapy.  The color of the gemstone, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, tells you which chakra to wear the stone on and what organs would benefit:
