Have you ever noticed that there are certain colors that appear in almost every fast food restaurants logo? McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Carl’s Jr., Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts, KFC, and so many more feature mostly warm colors like yellow, red, and orange.

Why? Psychologists have found that warm colors like these are known to stimulate feelings of hunger. There are many ways colors influence our moods and emotions, and you can install lighting upgrades to implement the psychology of color light therapy in your own home!

Biophotonic RED Light

It is impossible to discuss color therapy without first discussing the study of bio photonics, and it’s applications. What does all that mean?

Simply put, “biophotonics” is the study of how living things (bio) interact with light (photo). Bio photonics has applications across several medical fields including dentistry, optometry, and dermatology.

One of the most common forms of color therapy that has come out of the study of bio photonics is Red Light Therapy. Initially used by scientists to grow plants in space, red light therapy is now used to increase collagen production and reduce wrinkles, mend sun damage, improve psoriasis lesions, diminish scars, promote wound healing and damaged tissue repair.

Blue Light Therapy

Blue Light Therapy is another popular form of bio photonic therapy.

Unlike red light therapy, though, blue light therapy can only treat areas the light can reach, so it is hugely popular for the treatment of conditions that exist either on or just beneath the skin.

One common use for blue light therapy is in the treatment of acne and even the removal of acne scars. Blue light therapy helps to improve the overall texture of skin and can also reduce redness. Beyond treating acne, blue light therapy can also treat sun damage, and is proven not only to prevent cancer but is also a viable treatment option or skin cancer.

The uses of blue light therapy extend beyond improving skin and treating cancer. Because blue is often associated with feelings of calm and peace, blue light therapy can also be used in the treatment of depression. It is particularly successful in treating depression with a seasonal pattern (formerly known as Seasonal Affective Disorder).

Get Yourself Together!

So how does color therapy treatment work? There are a wide variety of treatment options when it comes to color therapy.

Some include merely spending time in a room completely immersed in a single color (the color depends on the type of treatment needed or the benefits you’d like to get from the treatment).

Aromatherapy is also commonly used in combination with color therapy to promote mental and physical wellness. Want to experience all the benefits of color therapy right in your home?

The only thing separating you from in-home color therapy treatments are the appropriate LED lighting fixtures!
