Alexander of Aphrodisias, Roger Bacon, Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi, Descartes, Newton and many other historical figures have lingered long on the chromatic arc that is not in the sky, but depends on the position of the observer, which is consistency of the dispersion and refraction of the sun. We are talking about the rainbow, the wonderful arch that holds seven colors (many limit themselves to counting six, neglecting the nuance of the purple color known as indigo).

There are also seven colors of chromopuncture, an energy rebalancing system that applies colored light to acupuncture points through a specific light pen. This therapeutic technique was developed in Germany in the early 1970s by Dr. Peter Mendel, homeopath, acupuncturist, Chinese medicine expert. The chromopuncture operator (also called "colorpuncture") does not stick needles through the skin, but places beams of colored light on the receptor points of the body, the same ones that are studied in Chinese acupuncture. The single colored ray produces electromagnetic impulses that cause the body to react in the sense of self-healing.

Chromopuncture: colors and effects

The human eye can only perceive radiation between 4000 and 8000 Å (angstroms). Each band of wavelength corresponds to a color and has a specific therapeutic action when the light is aimed at the skin through the interchangeable fiber optic pen:

• RED : 6200 Å (angstrom) = (620 nanometers) | It is the quintessential decongestant color . It acts positively on the heart, lungs, muscles and restores physical energy.

• ORANGE : 5890 Å (angstrom) = (589 nanometers) | It induces the person towards serenity, enthusiasm . Orange has a stimulating effect, it awakens creativity.

• YELLOW: 5510 Å (angstrom) = (551 nanometers) | Yellow is connected to the digestive system . Helps recover biological rhythms, stimulates appetite and intellect.

• GREEN: 5120 Å (angstrom) = (512 nanometers) | A color that acts as a kind of natural sedative. Green calms the soul and, applied to the skin, has a regenerating and positive action, especially on the endocrine system .

• BLUE: 4750 Å (angstrom) = (475 nanometers) | Blue balances breathing and heart rhythm, pushing subjects to dissolve those rigidities that lurk in the subconscious.

• INDACO : 4490 Å (angstrom) = (449 nanometers) | Work on the mental state, increase inner calm and push towards considered reasoning.

• VIOLET : 4230 Å (angstrom) = (423 nanometers) | Connected to the right hemisphere, it balances the spiritual energies and infuses psychophysical force .
