This needs the presentation of a dissenting view, viz. that "chromotherapy" is outside the realm of mainstream medicine. In point of fact, it should be presented objectively as something people do, but not as just the details involved in "chromotherapy."

  • I'm afraid I don't fully understand what you mean by that. We do want this to stay encyclopedic. Maybe you can give an example of what you would add?

Hi just thought I would refer you to a couple of other sites that might have what you require or be able to point you in the correct direction. For me they have been very helpful. Just as an example of how colour can effect you on different levels which can then manifest physically imagine yourself surrounded by a colour you love and only that colour. Take note of how that makes you feel mentally and emotionally and how this will bring about different states within yourself eventually coming down top the physical. If you are still having trouble seeijng how this can effect you now picture or surround yourself with a clour that you hate, I am sure you can feel the difference.

[1] or Aura-Soma a version of colour therapy that also combines crystal energies, essential oils and herbal essences with the colour

[2] a registered charity for advancing the benfits of colour

you also do searches on the net and maybe on this site for goethe Goetheand rudolf steinerRudolf_Steiner and theo gimbel [3]that will give you further references and avenues to pursue and investigate further

[edit] Citations plz?

I am a little disturbed that I seem to have put in this article's very first citation. Could we get some sources in here?--TurabianNights 20:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chromotherapy and pseudoscience

This section seems largely unnecessary and prescriptive. Unfortunately I don't have access to the reference cited, but if one scientist claims that "chromotherapists ignore every case where the therapy doesn't work" this can only be described as a criticism, and definitely not stated as a fact, since this will never be verifiable. I'd love to know exactly which way the person who placed the NPOV tag at the top of this article was thinking it swung too far, because currently I'm thinking it's too critical - all the descriptions of the process are written in a way which clearly states this is just how practitioners regard it to work, as it should be, and yet the criticisms of one scientist are glorified as unquestionable facts. - Zeibura (Talk) 13:20, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I've done a bit of work on this section (which swung too far one way as noted above) and removed some stuff from the colours section which was too prescriptive the other way, and also added a note about criticism to the lede. I don't know what the person who added the NPOV tag was thinking, but it seems to read a bit more neutrally now. - Zeibura (Talk) 23:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
