The Blood Pressure Reduction Guide

Many claim that anti hypertension can be achieved through color therapy. This method works on the assumption that the brain is directly influenced by colors and their various shades, and that they may be applied to reduce tension. Some swear by this; others say it’s completely false, nothing more than a placebo effect. Which side is correct? You have to decide that for yourself, so here are the facts.

Anti hypertension, as described by color therapy, occurs when certain shades are placed on the body. These colors can directly affect the area of the body on which they are applied. For hypertension, there are different hues for creating different positive influences. Purple, for example, can be used to calm the kidneys, magenta is said to promote their balance, and indigo is keeps away all signs of tumors. The theory is that these colors assist in keeping the kidneys healthy and prevent effects of high blood pressure.

So how does it work? There are multiple ways to use the anti hypertension therapy and they each have their supporters:

One: an individual can simply wear the color, often in the form of a necklace or crystal, and this will be enough. Even just putting on a shirt of a particular shade will have the right effect.

Two: meditation is required. Some believe that a person must find the time to picture a color in his or her mind. Rather than wearing the shade, the person will create an image of it, thus offering a more direct message to the brain.

Three: using external objects. Some say that using colored bulbs in lighting, for example, can be a form of color therapy. You can see the shade and your body will respond to it, rather than having to rely on picturing it in your mind.

Four: drawing tiny dots of color on the body part you wish to heal. Many think that this is the best approach as it targets the areas you need. A colored marker is utilized to draw the dots, which are then reapplied as the colors wear away.

But is this all true? Can you achieve a state of anti hypertension just by using color?

There is no real answer to that. Some believe in it and others do not. The ones who support it as a form of anti hypertension and also a method of healing all other ailments cite its longevity. Color therapy has been around for thousands of years and that certainly anything that has withstood the test of time must have some validity. Others claim that it is nothing more than an example of an extended trick on the mind.

Color therapy’s validly becomes a choice to make on your own. It cannot be said for certain whether or not it has any effect on the body. What can be said, though, is that you should always consult with your doctor and learn the other steps to take to reduce your blood pressure and keep your kidneys intact. You should never just rely on only one method. Instead, talk to your doctor and discuss alternative and complimentary treatments.
