Red- Colour Therapy - Part 3 of 6

CROMOTERAPIA:
Ogni colore un effetto speciale:
Rosso
Questo colore viene associato alla forza, alla salute e alla vitalità e rappresenta il fuoco, la gioia, la festa, l'eccitazione sessuale, il sangue e le passioni violente. Il rosso, è in grado di accelerare il polso, aumentare la pressione arteriosa e la frequenza respiratoria. È infatti fortemente sconsigliato come tinteggiatura di pareti. Il r...osso renderebbe loquaci, aperti, premurosi, passionali.
La cromoterapia usa il rosso nelle ustioni e nelle malattie esantematiche, in quanto generatore di ischemia cutanea, mentre lo sconsiglia nei casi di tumore e per malattie come infiammazione, iperemotività, ipertensione, in quanto lo associa con la circolazione sanguigna e con lo sviluppo cellulare. Inoltre questo colore sarebbe utile nei casi di melanconia e depressione, nelle malattie da raffreddamento, nel mal di gola, nella tosse cronica e nell'asma, nel trattamento delle paralisi parziali e totali, o nella cura dell'impotenza maschile.
 
Red
 
Red, in its most positive sense, is the colour for courage, strength and pioneering spirit. However, in the most negative aspect, it is the colour of anger, violence and brutality and, interestingly, before world war two it was noted that a lot of red was being worn.
Using colours well in the home is a way of creating a balanced environment. Red is energising and excites the emotions, and can stimulate the appetite.(Often used in restaurants). It can be used in any activity area but red needs careful choice of tone and depth and the space in which it is to be used as it can make a space look smaller and can be claustrophobic or oppressive. However, used well, red and its variations, can make a space feel warm and cosy.

RED relates to the BASE chakra situated at the base of the spine.
On the psycho-spiritual level, this chakra relates to self awareness. That is to say our awareness of ourselves as human beings and our place on earth. It is the area of survival and relates to our basic human instincts of fight or flight. Red gives us courage and strength. The colour relates to stability and security.
