What Exactly Is Chromotherapy?
Chromotherapy is the therapeutic use of colors to support emotional and physical wellbeing. Each color corresponds to specific energy frequencies in the body a concept embraced by many holistic healing traditions.
To learn more about the roots and spa evolution of this treatment, explore this in-depth breakdown of chromotherapy as a colorful treatment for spas.
Modern spas are now integrating LED systems, color-changing relaxation rooms, and multi-light therapy devices to elevate everything from facials to sauna sessions.
How Color Influences Mood & Energy
Each color has its own purpose and impact:
Red – Energizing, stimulating, boosts circulation
Blue – Calming, cooling, supports relaxation
Green – Balancing, grounding, reduces stress
Yellow – Uplifting, mood-boosting, increases mental clarity
Purple – Meditative, spiritual, calming for the mind
For an industry that blends beauty and wellness, it’s no surprise that color is now a tool for emotional alignment, not just aesthetics. This aligns perfectly with the insights shared in Fierce Tanning’s wellness-forward post on Beauty Beyond Skin Deep.
