color therapy,

the therapeutic use of light of specific colors. It encompasses a number of methods used in complementary medicine, including the direction of light of specific colors at the chakras associated with the colors, the stimulation of acupoints, and the use of light of specific wavelengths to facilitate healing. Color therapy is often employed as a complementary treatment for seasonal affective disorder, depression, and stress.

Colour Therapy

(1) Any form of sensory ‘therapy’ in which a patient is exposed to specific colours in the environment, in clothing, or lighting; the efficacy of colour therapy is uncertain; it is integral to ayurvedic medicine, but is peripheral to mainstream medicine
(2) Any pseudotherapy in which a patient is exposed to coloured light, environment, clothing, or food, as a vehicle for treating organic—i.e., ‘real’ disease
