There are increasing numbers of documented experiments showing the effects of light
and colour on the human body. Soviet Russian scientists claim that red light
increases muscular activity, blood pressure, respiration and heart rate. Blue has
the opposite effect reducing blood pressure and being helpful in cases of
insommnia.Blue light is used in hospitals to treat jaundice in new born babies. It
is said to be a good colour for children when teething or infection upsets them. It
also leads to a decrease in blood sugar and seems to help in some cases of eczema.

There has been some very interesting and hopeful work carried out with children. At
San Bernardino County Probation Department in California, aggressive and violent
children are put in an 8 foot by 4 foot enclosure painted bubble gum pink.
Apparently after 10 minutes or so the children calm down and usually fall asleep.
The effect appears to last for some time.

The Sunfield Children\'s Home at Stourbridge, England treats disturbed children
through color or chromotherapy as it is also known. In Rudolf Steiner Waldorf
Schools class teachers paint classrooms to reflect the \"soul mood\" of the children
at their particular stage of development. The first year classroom is always red.

Aura Soma oils contain the essence of distilled plants, herbs and other ingredients
in oils of the most heavenly colors. Just looking at the bottles lifts the spirits
and brings a feeling of well-being. There are seven oils for each of the principal
stages of development.

Artificial light is static and does not have the same effect on us as natural light.
In fact it can make us tired and tense. It is no surprise that people in
industrialized nations are rediscovering the healing, soothing effects of
candlelight.

We instinctively understand the power of colour to influence out mood. When we feel
\"blue\" we look for colors to cheer us up. On the other hand when we are angry we
seek cool colours to help us dissipate this emotion. Colors are used to express
certain qualities. someone my be described as \"red-blooded\" or as having a \"yellow
streak\" meaning the person is a coward. We talk about someone being a \"greenhorn\" if
they are inexperienced or being \"green with envy\". Black has a particularly bad
press. We have \"black magic\", \"black despair\" as just two examples.

Colour doesn\'t just have an effect on our mood it is becoming ever clearer that it
also influences our physiology.

RED is said to be good for the muscular system and left cerebral brain hemisphere.

YELLOW cleanses the blood stream, stimulates the lymphatic system and energizes the
alimentary tract.

ORANGE is good for mental exhaustion and rheumatism.

GREEN is said to help with asthma, hay fever, laryngitis and malaria.

BLUE treats hysteria, and lessens nervous excitement.

VIOLET aids epilepsy.
