How Colour Can Improve Our Health and Well Being?
Did you know that colours create psychological and biological reactions in our bodies? This in turn can also change our behaviour. Colour therapy can therefor improve your life.
The Positive Effects of the Colour Green
The Egyptians revered the colour green as sacred. To them it represented hope and the joy of spring. Muslims too, see green as a sacred colour. Many mosques and temples throughout the world are painted green with the colour seen as representing renewal and growth.
Scientific studies have proved what the ancients have always known, that the colour green has a calming effect.
