Course of Cromotherapy
What is Cromotherapy 
 “Chromo / Therapy” can be defined as an alternative medicine method which curesthrough the use of colours (Greek
khrōma
, colour) and light. It is a very old practicedating back to the Ancient Egyptians who used sunlight reflected in the colours in therainbow in order to treat their patients. Eliopolis was the City of the Sun wherepriests applied these therapeutic techniques.Nowadays, in the aesthetics field, Cromo
therapy 
, should not be called as suchbecause
therapy 
pertains to medicine. On the other hand, we choose to speak aboutchromo
cosmetics
, defined as a quest for exterior beauty, for well being and interiorharmony. Colours are a valid instrument in realizing beauty, global harmony andwellness.Since 1992 Marzia De Servi started practicing ChromoCosmetics using clays andcoloured muds; in fact Marzia De Servi was one of the first Companies to introduceChromoCosmetics in the aesthetics Industry and develop beauty and well beingtreatments. Back then, Marzia de Servi was a precursor since Chromotherapy wasstill considered as scientific heresy. Today, public opinion and the Industry actuallyvalue both alternative medicine and allopathic medicine.
The Philosophy behind Chromo-therapy 
Without light, life cannot exist.This strong affirmation is only too evident; light is at the base of all forms of life. Inthe first stages of the Earth formation, the energy of solar radiation was vital andhelped to form the most complex molecules.Plants take energy from light for the chlorophyll synthesis, all living beings take heatfrom light in order to live. The cells of our body utilized light to communicate; thefirst forms of light used solar energy to divide the water molecules and incombination with CO

formed glucose; this process is the base of the chlorophyllsynthesis.Man like all living beings is light crystallized, which is manifested under the form of matter.Light comes from the sun, the star of our System yet stars are not the only onesgenerating light. Light can emanate from all bodies with energy; even human beingsemit energy, but these emissions are so low that they may be perceived with only

great difficulty; nonetheless, we use these emissions to communicate. Coloured lightrepresents a complex code of communication among ourselves, by interpreting thiscode, we communicate and so do our bodies.The human body is surrounded by a bio-electric field through which information isconstantly being exchanged with the environment. If our body does not receive thisvital information for its proper functioning, it can lead to illness.The interaction of light and colours constantly transmit bio-information our body isable to decipher, and to which it can respond adequately.We can use the concepts of light and energy both at home and the office.Lights and colours are inseparable. When we speak about colours, we speak aboutlight and vice versa; colours are generated by light and together colours create alighted environment.
What is Light? 
Until 1690, light was considered to be a “phenomenon of corpuscular nature” orrather, light was made up of corpuscles which travelled at a fast speed.In 1690 in fact, Huygens published the treatise of light, in which the ondulatorytheory was expressed: light was seen as a vibration of waves.But not even the ondulatory theory was able to explain all of light’s manifestations.Throughout a century of study, and the admirable works of scientists like Maxwell(electro magnetic concept), Hertz Planck (theory of how many), Einstein and Bohr,the dualistic concept of light and matter was introduced: light like all matter(because matter is light), is manifested in some cases as particles or corpuscles, andsometimes like waves.
The physics of light 
Light which comes from the sun is made up of electro magnetic radiations: infra red,ultraviolet colours, x rays, gamma rays; that is what our eyes are able to perceive,and it is only a small part of all the sun’s radiations. To be exact, man is able toperceive through his eyesight, radiations which go from 380 to 760 nanometres.
What is a wave length
The wave length is a space between one wave and the following one.Every radiation has its own wave length.Every colour has its own wave length.Frequency instead represents the number of waves emitted in a second. Thereforethe smaller the wave length, the greater its frequency.
Marzia de Servi – page 2 of 10
 
A colour with a long wave length, as red, will have a low frequency, while a colourlike violet, with a short wave length will have a high frequency.In 1905 Einstein formulated the following equation:E= h*v; energy equals constant of Planck multiplied by the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.One deduces that frequency and energy of the photon are directly proportional.Or rather; red has a long wave, low frequency and low energy power.Violet has a short wave, high frequency and high energy power.In opposition red has a great penetration while violet has not.
Wave length of colours
Red corresponds to 620 nanometres.Orange corresponds to 589 nanometres.Yellow corresponds to 551 nanometres.Green corresponds to 512 nanometres.Blue corresponds to 475 nanometres.Indigo corresponds to 449 nanometres.Violet corresponds to 423 nanometres.
The spiral of colours
In the spiral of colours, violet is the colour which is more centripetal and red, thecolour more centrifugal.
Newton’s refraction of colours
Newton’s experiment of with a prism of crystal brought about the discovery of thecomposition of visible light.Newton obtained the decomposition of visible light in seven colours by letting a rayof white light pass through the centre of a crystal prism. Red, orange, yellow, green,blue, indigo and violet were observed.In this given order, these colours have wave lengths and diminishing penetratingpower and increasing energetic power.
Colours and psyche
According to Newton light was the holder of all the colours, Goethe on the other handsupposed light to be born from the polar tension between light and shadow.Why does an object appear to be coloured?Because white light, which contains all colours, is absorbed by materials and only thefrequency reflection can strike the retina of the human eye generating our perceptionof colour. Absorbing and reflecting white and black are the two opposite poles Yingand Yang.
