In the Vedas, the sun is greatly praised and rightly so. Our cosmos exists because of the sun. All the living beings get their energy from the sun. And this energy is abundant and unlimited, so it should be used to the maximum.
The sun looks white, but it consists of seven colours viz. violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Out of these the first three have cool effect on the body and are also antiseptic. The last three colours create heat. Green is neutral.
Dr Edwin D. Babit, M.D. of U.S.A. proved with experiments that in all types of patients even with chronic and dreaded diseases, this chromotherapy is very effective.
The effect of different colours on different diseases :
Violet : bones & bone marrow, tumour, baldness, cataract, blindness.
Indigo : eyes-nose-throat problems, facial paralysis, diseases of the lungs, asthma, T.B., less digestive power, problems of nervous system, convulsion, lunacy.
Blue : whooping cough, all types of diseases, due to excess heat in the body e.g. problems in throat, fever, typhoid, small-pox, measles, ulcers in mouth, cholera, swelling in the brain, problems of nerves, insomnia, mental depression, problems of semen-discharge, burns, bleeding from nose, etc.
Dr Edwin Babit calls the blue colour as the world’s best antiseptic and that is why the cloudless blue sky during the day has great beneficial influence on the world.
Green : heart problems, low & high B.P., skin problems, cancer, influenza, syphilis, pain in the eyes, etc.
Yellow : All disorders of digestion, spleen, liver problems, diabetes, leprosy, etc.
Orange : longterm asthma, bronchitis, swelling in trachea, gout, swelling, kidney, mental-nervousness, epilepsy, etc.
Red : anaemia, disability, sluggishness, cold, paralysis, white spots, arthritis., T.B., etc.
How to take rays : 90 minutes from sunrise and 60 minutes before sunset; keep a glass of desired colour in the sunlight in such a way that the rays will fall on the affected parts. While taking sunlight care should be taken to see that the patient is not exposed to strong direct wind.
If that is not possible, take a coloured bulb of 60 to 100 watts. If such a coloured bulb is not available, take a plain bulb, take coloured gelatin paper, fourfold the same and wrap it around the bulb, light the lamp, keep the affected part 18 to 20 inches away and take the light for 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
How to take colours through water : Take a glass bottle of the desired colour. If it is not available, wrap gelatin paper of the desired colour on the white glass bottle. Fill it 3/4th and keep it on a wooden plank. And keep it in sunlight for at least 3 hours between10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Even if such a bottle is kept in the sunlight for more than 3 hours, it is not harmful. Just take care that this type of coloured water is not exposed to any other type of colour.
Now, half a glass colour medicated water can be given to the patient at an interval of 15 to 20 minutes depending upon the intensity of the disease. In case, the water of other colours is necessary, it can be given alternatively.
This is the therapy of Nature and can be effectively used with Acupressure. An Acupressurist should study this therapy and use it with care.
