Chromotherapy

Duties and Responsibilities:  Chromotherapy, sometimes called color therapy, colorology or chromatherapy, is an alternative medicine method, which is considered considered  considered pseudoscience. Chromo Therapists claim to be able to use light in the form of color to balance "energy" lacking from a person's body, whether it be on physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels. Research has shown it is ineffective. Color therapy is distinct from other types of light therapy, such as neonatal jaundice treatment and blood irradiation therapy which is a scientifically-accepted medical treatment for a number of conditions, and from photobiology, the scientific study of the effects of light on living organisms.



Education:There is no standard education or training for practitioners of chromotherapy. Chromotherapy is not a licensed health practice in North America.

Reflection: Sounds like a interesting career to take up because you are working with colors and how some people can be affected by which mood or how they feel by only using colors. I read an article about chromotherapy and it was about a girl who had been depressed for quite sometime and didn't know what to do or take. She later on realized her room needed a new color and changed it to light periwinkle and in a few days she started to feel much better. This career would be something I would enjoy studying for.
