I have loved using colors for my personal well-being for ages; whether it's in clothing or in the design of my living and working spaces.
It is common knowledge that colors affect our emotions and health based on their wavelength. Or is it? For example, the Roman physician and author of “De Medicina” Aulus Cornelius Celsus (c. 25 BC - c. 50 AD). He was one of the greatest Roman medical writers and the author of an encyclopedia, of which unfortunately only the medical part has survived the turmoil of time. This genius was known, among other things, for promoting the healing of all ailments with colored skin plasters. Even today, 2000 years later, our everyday life would be unimaginable without colors!
It is known that even the doctors of ancient Egypt used colors to heal physical and mental ailments. Special temples were built for this purpose, containing rooms that were painted different colors to promote the recovery of sick people.
In the Colors section of my homepage www.le-papillon-bleu.ch, I describe the beneficial properties of 15 different colors. Enjoy reading.
