Chromotherapy: Color Light Therapy Benefits

While colors can have an impact on our moods, performance, and even how we make purchases, Chromotherapy (or color light therapy) benefits include healing in a variety of areas in the body and mind.

Poor mental health can cause poor physical health, and vice versa, so it’s important to make sure we find ways to promote wellness in both of these areas on a consistent basis. Chromotherapy with a sauna allows your body to achieve amazing health benefits in both the mind and body, healing you from the inside out. 

What are the benefits of Chromotherapy and how do the different colors work as a holistic alternative treatment? Read on.

What is Chromotherapy? 

For centuries, humankind has explored the health benefits of chromotherapy, also referred to as color therapy, colorology, and color light therapy. This holistic alternative treatment uses light in a variety of colors to help heal the body’s energy levels, either by looking at a color or shining the light of the color on a specific area of the body. 

The essence of Chromotherapy is that the body and colors are connected and different colors can heal and improve different parts of the body. 

What Does Color Light Therapy Do?

Chromotherapy, or color light therapy, uses color lighting on specific areas of the body to promote wellness from certain ailments. From killing off acne-causing bacteria to reducing wrinkles, it helps on the surface of our skin. It also helps alleviate SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) where our moods tend to be lower due to the loss of light in the winter months. Color light therapy provides a holistic and harmonious approach to healing our bodies and minds. 

Chromotherapy Colors and Meanings

Color psychology is definitely real. Just like we might feel “gloomy” on a cloudy day with little to no sunlight, colors can also affect the way we feel. Think about how certain colors affects you daily, like how you feel when wearing certain colors or using them in your home. 

There are different benefits for different colors when it comes to Chromotherapy – so let’s look at all 6 and what they can do for you!

Green light helps you fight the “winter” blues, or SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), when our moods are lowered due to lack of sunlight. To boost your mood, use Green to help you feel calm, refreshed, and feel grounded in nature. 

Blue light helps kill bacteria that produce acne and even helps relieve migraines. Blue can provide you a serenity within and even help you gain inspiration. 

Purple light aids in reducing anxiety and promoting tranquility. The soothing shades of Purple can help you find relaxation before bed or during a meditation session. 

Red light stimulates skin cells to help reduce wrinkles. This bright and warm color gives you a sense of comfort, love, and even passion. 

Orange light induces cheerfulness and mental clarity. With Orange, you can gain more energy, happiness, and focus. 

Yellow light boosts positivity and spirituality. Exuding brightness and vitality, yellow can ignite your energy and promote optimism. 

Color Light Therapy with an Infrared Sauna

Infrared heat therapy has amazing benefits for healing the body, including healing chronic pain, promoting muscle recovery, and detoxing the body from harmful toxins. It also helps boost your cardiovascular, lymphatic, and immune systems so your body continues functioning at its best.

Experiencing color light therapy with an infrared sauna allows you to make the most of your sauna sessions where your body can heal and detox while your mind can remain calm, focused, and energized. 

Chromotherapy for Overall Health

Using Color light therapy in your infrared sauna is a wonderful treatment for the body and mind. Whether it’s post-workout or your daily meditation session, taking some time to heal using infrared heat paired with chromotherapy can promote wellness physically and mentally that is crucial for your overall health. 

Infrared Sauna Benefits

Just how much more? Let’s take a look at how infrared sauna does way more for your body than merely working up a sweat:

1. Improved Skin Tone

Infrared sauna therapy dilates the blood vessels, effectively increasing circulation throughout the body. This increased circulation not only helps remove waste products, but also helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Since our skin depends on these nutrients to form collagen (which keeps our skin firm), infrared sauna therapy can be a great way to improve skin tone and reduce wrinkles.

2. Flushes Out Toxins

Our immune systems are up against an arsenal of toxins that our ancestors never dreamt of: pesticides, toxic metals, PCBs in plastics, environmental pollution, and even GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Combining this with a lifelong poor diet is a set-up for accumulated toxins and a potentially weakened immune system.

Luckily, infrared sauna treatments can give your body an extra push to eliminate these toxins. Specifically, this is achieved through sweating, which has been shown in several studies to increase detoxification and lower circulating levels of toxins in the body.

3. Weight Loss

It turns out taking a rest in an infrared sauna can also aid in weight loss. In a study of obese adults, researchers discovered “… body weight and body fat significantly decreased after 2 weeks of sauna therapy.” Researchers theorize this is due to increased heart rate and the body working (i.e., burning calories) to cool itself.

Interestingly, in the same study, patients at a normal weight with loss of appetite experienced “increased caloric intake and improved feeding behavior.” This shows that infrared sauna therapy may act as a sort of weight and appetite “balancer” by increasing ghrelin (the hunger hormone) in low appetite patients, while keeping ghrelin levels balanced in obese patients.

4. Improves Cardiovascular Function

Infrared sauna therapy has also been shown to be good for your heart. The effects have proven so powerful that studies have associated sitting in an infrared sauna with a reduced risk of sudden cardiac death, fatal coronary heart disease, fatal cardiovascular disease, and even all-cause mortality.

These effects are due to the increased heart rate, blood flow, and improved blood pressure in patients using infrared sauna therapy. Interestingly, researchers compared the cardiac output patients experience in the sauna room to going on a brisk walk

5. Pain Relief

Another excellent aspect of infrared sauna therapy is its ability to reduce chronic pain – without the negative side effects of some pain medications. For instance, research out of the Netherlands found that patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis who underwent infrared sauna therapy for four weeks experienced reduced pain, stiffness, and fatigue following the treatment. Researchers speculate these benefits resulted from reduced inflammation levels, which lessen the friction between the patient’s joints that result in chronic pain.

6. Wound Healing

Infrared sauna therapy also has the remarkable ability to speed up the wound healing process. Specifically, research out of NASA has shown that infrared light significantly increases tissue growth and cell regeneration due to our mitochondria readily accepting infrared light.

7. Boosts Circulation

Infrared sauna therapy has also been found to improve circulation. This can have far-reaching benefits, from better skin tone (as discussed earlier) to lowered blood pressure. In fact, researchers discovered infrared sauna therapy significantly improves blood vessel function in diabetes and smoking patients with high cholesterol.

8. Fights Chronic Fatigue

A recent study found that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which results in extreme fatigue with no definitive cause, is greatly relieved in patients using infrared saunas. The study involved CFS patients sitting in a 60°C (140°F) sauna for 15 minutes, followed by bed rest under a blanket for 30 minutes in a separate room. This was performed once a day, five days a week, for a total of four weeks.

The results? Negative mood, anxiety, and depression levels significantly improved after the therapy, with fatigue ratings on a scale of 1 to 10 sliding from 6.7 to 4.8. While there is no clear answer as to why infrared sauna therapy benefits CFS patients, researchers theorize it may be due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress and improve cardiac output, both of which have been linked to CFS.

It is important to note that the researchers state the patients didn’t perceive the effects during the treatment, but definitely perceived less fatigue after the four weeks of treatment. So, if you’re interested in undertaking infrared sauna treatment for fatigue, be aware that you may have to complete a month’s worth in order to really feel the benefits. However, less than an hour a day for four weeks to relieve chronic fatigue seems like a worthwhile treatment!

Is Infrared Sauna Therapy Safe?

Some may question the safety of infrared sauna therapy due to infrared light’s ability to penetrate beneath the skin layer. While no serious adverse side effects have been reported in the use of the therapy, it is not recommended for young children and elderly adults who are prone to heat exhaustion and dehydration, nor is it recommended for those taking medications that impair their ability to sweat. Of course, be sure to talk to your doctor about any health conditions you may have before trying out infrared sauna therapy.

Outside of exercise, who knew that working up a sweat could offer such astounding health benefits? In all, infrared sauna therapy can benefit nearly everyone: from someone looking to detox a few times a month to others looking for alternative solutions to a host of issues.
