Colors are the various wavelengths of visible
light ranging from 760nm (nanometers or one
millionth of a millimeter) of red to the 38nm of
violet. Colors are perceived by the eyes and
absorbed by the body through the skin and the
optic nerves. They penetrate into the brain where
they are processed and utilized by the
hypothalamus, the system to region of the brain
that links the central nervous system to the
hormonal system. The light that penetrates the
brain at various wavelengths triggers a complex
biochemical transfer within the body, through the
endocrine system. When hormones and enzymes are
exposed to colored light, they themselves undergo
changes in color and begin to have different
effects on the body. This is why people who are
subjected to prolonged periods of darkness, during
which their body cannot absorb any light/color,
suffer from vitamin deficiencies, hormonal
disorders, disorders of the normal body cycles -
particularly sleep and metabolic functions and
depression. The balance of light/color is crucial
to our well-being.
WHAT IS COLOR THERAPY?
Color therapy is the use of color in assisting the body in its
natural ability to balance itself. Historically color has been
used for centuries by practitioners of the healing arts. Color
serves to support our vital life force by supplying light energy
to the system.
Colored light bulbs or colored gel paper through white light
is a very economical way to experience color therapy, however it
must be
done with a minimun wattage of 25 watt bulbs at a distance of at
least 12 and
not more than 18 inches away from the body.. Higher wattage would
of coarse
increase the distance of the light source.
Eyewear is one of the most practical and effective use
of color therapy. The only other way that makes sense is
wear the colors that make you feel good.
Color Therapy Eyewear is attractive nonprescription colored
sunglasses designed to make the use of color therapy convenient
and affordable. Color therapy glasses are lightweight nylon
frames with acrylic lenses that meet current FDA standards for

color also corresponds to a specific frame of mind or emotion.
Color Therapy Eyewear is a means of directing color energy into
the body. The eyes convert light (color) into electricity which

unctions. Studies
have shown when color is introduced to the system it causes
cellular and hormonal changes to occur, thus bringing the cells
into synchronization or balance with the color.

responsibility while wearing Color Therapy Eyewear.
Q: How long should I wear them?
A: Experiment, the results are usually immediate. We recommend you start
with a few minutes and work your way up to what feels right for you. You can
work towards 30 to 60 minutes per day.
When you try a color on you may feel slightly dizzy or immediately get a
headache. This is common and nothing to worry about. You simply are getting
a blast of energy. Sit down and this will quickly pass. If on the other hand
you have been wearing them for a while and you begin to experience any
discomfort, then it is time to remove them.
Again we recommend that you listen to your body. You may find that once the
color is no longer needed, you will unconsciously remove it.
Q: Do I need to be outside to wear them?
A: No, any light source seems to do the trick. Color Therapy Eyewear can be
worn wherever and whenever you like, day or night ** Just be careful, some
of the colors are very dark ". , so you must use caution when moving around
or driving. **
Q: Can I overdo it?
A: Always remember, too much of anything is not good for you. Use moderation
in all things and you are sure to succeed. . Listen to you body. You can
wear them as long as you are getting the desired response.
Q: How do I know which color to choose?
A: A simple rule of thumb is to choose the color that corresponds to the
area of the body or emotional state you want to work on. Each color
corresponds to a particular area of the body as well as a particular state
of mind. (We have provided you with a chart to refer to.) Always listen to
your body. We seem to have an innate sense of what we need. Experiment with
color. Try all the glasses. You will feel differently with each color. If
for example you have a headache, try each color until you find one that
takes it away. You may not like a particular color, but this may be the
color you need, so try them all. I am not a Doctor so I am not able to
prescribe any color for my specific situation. It is up to you to decide
what you need, and you really are the best judge of that.
Q: How many colors can I use each day?
A: You can focus on one specific situation and color, or you can wear as
many colors as you would like each day.
Q: Can It hurt me?
A: I have no evidence to suggest that color can hurt you. Color is nothing
more than light energy. You only receive the affects of the color while you
are wearing it. Once you stop wearing it you are no longer affected by it.
Color Therapy Eyewear in no way intends to suggest that these glasses be
used us a substitute for Licensed Medical Care. In cases of physical,
emotional or mental illness, always seek professional medical assistance.
Knowledge is our greatest ally. Don't rely on my information, research for
yourself.
