Color Light Therapy is a technique of restoring imbalance by means of applying color to the body. Its history is rooted as far back as the Mayan culture. In India, Ayerveda, an ancient form of medicine practiced for thousands of years, is based on the idea that every individual contains five elements of the universe which are present in specific proportions unique to each individual, including their personality type and constitution. When these elements are out of balance, Ayerveda works with energies inherent in the colors of the spectrum to restore this balance.
