In some respects, colour therapy is already an everyday practice. We all have our favourite colours with which we like to live.
Color is simply light of varying wavelengths (frequencies). We are in a world where color dominates our lives, from reading signs on the road to seeing if fruit is ripe to eat. It affects our moods – blue is calming – red can make us tense.
We use and experience colour everyday in our lives without even appreciating it.
Colour therapy is a bit like aromatherapy. The difference is that colour therapists believe in the therapeutic effects of coloured lights instead of smells.
The ancient belief that colours can heal was developed into an alternative medicine in the XXth century.
Colour therapy can be shown to help on a physical level, which is perhaps easier to quantify, however there are deeper issues around the colours on the psychological and spiritual levels. Our wellbeing is not, of course, purely a physical issue. Fortunately, many more practitioners, both orthodox and complementary are now treating patients in an holistic manner. That is to say, we are body, mind and spirit and none of these areas function entirely alone; each has an effect upon the other. This is why Colour Therapy can be so helpful since colour addresses all levels of our being.

New study from the USA shows that smoking soon after waking increases risk of lung cancer, because the shorter the time between waking and having a first cigarette, no matter how many you smoke a day, the higher is your levels of circulating cotinine, a derivative of nicotine that is made in the body and which has been linked to higher risk of lung cancer.
The scientists said that smoking cessation programs should take into account the time smokers waits before they have their first cigarette of the day because it could make a significant difference to their nicotine uptake.
The leader of the research is Dr Joshua E Muscat, professor of public health sciences at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania. “Since cotinine levels appear to reflect the risk of lung cancer, our results suggest that smokers who smoke immediately after waking may be especially at risk for lung cancer.” said Dr Joshua E Muscat. “These people may require a more intensive intervention than other smokers to help them quit smoking on a sustained or permanent basis.”

Aromatherapy uses volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for healing purposes. They can be massaged into the parts of the body or even taken internally (although this is less common). Whether inhaled, absorbed, or ingested, essential oils are gaining new attention as an alternative treatment for infections, stress, and other health problems.
Like most alternative strategies its concept has been around for centuries although the term ‘Aromathérapie‘ was coined in the 1928 by a French chemist, René Maurice Gattefossé, whose family owned a perfume factory.
Essential oils are concentrated extracts taken from flowers, trees, fruits, bark, grasses, seeds and roots. Each essential oil contains its own mix of active ingredients, and this mix determines the healing properties of each oil.
Aromatherapy should not be undertaken lightly. Essential oils are highly concentrated liquids that can be harmful if not used carefully. Most topical and inhaled essential oils are generally considered safe. Some oils are toxic, and taking them by mouth could be fatal.

There is an ancient Chinese legend tells that 5,000 years ago, a Chinese general, on the eve of the decisive battle, was suffering from lower back pain. The pain was so intense that it gave in the leg. In our time, this disease is called the inflammation of the sciatic nerve. During the battle, enemy’s arrow pierced into the general’s Achilles tendon. To his unutterable surprise, the pain instantly disappeared. Thinking commander connected these two facts together. He found a man who suffered from the same symptoms, and stabbed him in the same point. The man, who suffered several days of terrible pain, immediately felt relieved and cured. This is how acupuncture works.
Today acupuncture is actively used not only in the East, but also in countries all around the world. There are 650 points in the human body, acting on which, the doctor may regulate vital energy. Some points tone the body, the others transfer the energy from one meridian of the human body to another.
Meridian is the imaginary line on the human body. It is assumed that they relate to internal organs, although it is completely different from that anatomy teaches, meridians are called “yin yang lines”. Acupuncture was banned in China by the Emperor in 1822, because it was a serious obstacle to progress in traditional medicine.
