Colour Therapy has been used for thousands of years, probably having it's origins in either Egypt, India or China. Even today, the walls of certain rooms in establishments are painted with particular colours in order to create a certain atmosphere: pink is known to calm aggression so is often used in prison cells; green is calming and balancing and is known to promote a feeling of peace conducive to healing so is found in many hospital wards; classrooms are often painted yellow because it's mentally stimulating and therefore perfect for a learning environment

    Many years ago, Colour Therapy was given by means of the patient entering a temple with a small, singular window in the ceiling. This window would be filled with coloured glass and the patient would literally bathe in the coloured light for a given period of time. It's been demonstrated in modern times that the colour blue can have a beneficial effect on high blood pressure, reducing it quickly and without the need for any drugs. Interestingly, the positive effect will last far longer if the blue treatment is followed up by an orange treatment - orange is the opposite colour on the colour wheel. This is true of all colours and the second （or opposite） colour used in a treatment is known as the complimentary colour.

    So, how do colours affect our moods or physical well-being? Colour is vibrational and can be measured on a spectrum; some colours are visible to the naked eye but others are not, such as ultra-violet. （In this article we're concentrating on those we can see.） Green, being in the centre of a rainbow, is also at the centre of the colour spectrum. It contains equal amounts of yellow and blue and is therefore a balancing colour. On one side of green are the warmer colours: yellow, orange and red and on the other side we have the cooler colours: blue, indigo and violet. Red is the most stimulating colour, providing lots of energy, and violet is the calmest and is associated with spiritual wisdom and the practice of meditation. Orange stimulates the digestive system so is great for dining rooms and restaurants, while blue is perfect for bedrooms, being a very peaceful colour and, therefore, helpful for sleep and relaxation.

    There are many ways to bring the vibrational qualities of a particular colour into your life, and all without the need to visit an ancient temple: you can eat fresh, natural foods in the colour you feel you require （we often do this subconsciously, anyway） or you can wear clothes made from natural materials in the colour of your choice; painting your room or house a new colour can have a tremendous impact on how you're feeling and many people use crystals - another natural source of colour - in their home or placed/worn on the body.

    顏色療法已經有了它上千年的曆史，它的起源可能是在埃及、印度或是中國。即使到了今天，企業中某臥室的牆壁也被塗上了特殊的顏色，是為了能夠營造出某種氣氛：粉色能讓人們平服心裏的憤慨，因此經常在牢房裏使用；lvsenengrangrenpingjinghebaochizhending，zhongsuozhouzhinenggeirenyizhonganyigan，cujinkangfu，suoyichangyongzaiyiyuandeqiangbishang。jiaoshijingchangshuahuangse

    因此，顏色是如何影響我們的情緒或者身體健康的呢？顏色是不穩定的，它能夠在光譜中被側出；有些顏色是用肉眼可見的，但是其它的則不是，比如紫外線。（在這章中
