RED is used in colour therapy (or healing) for treating conditions of stagnation
in order to renew or stimulate the life energy. RED is stimulating and
revitalising and can assist with overcoming depression, inertia, fear and
melancholy. RED is a great aid for those who are afraid of life and who feel
inclined to want to escape.
RED relates to the adrenal glands and is the ‘life force’ from which we draw
our strength, ambition and energy. RED energises all organs and the senses
of hearing, smell, taste, vision and touch.
The colour RED is linked to the circulatory system, the heart, sexual organs,
the kidney and bladder.
RED causes haemoglobin to multiply, thus
increasing energy and raising body temperature.
RED is beneficial to the circulation and energy flow within the body, as it is
both activating and energising. RED aids the immune system and helps with
detoxification and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
RED is used for stimulating the liver; for increasing the production of red
blood cells, for anaemic conditions, for stimulating the circulatory system,
spinal fluid and the entire nervous system, fatigue, cold chills, it energises the
senses, stimulates ovulation and stimulates menstruation. RED stimulates
energy and can increase the blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat and pulse
rate. RED is beneficial to stimulate growth, alleviates constrictions, enhances
physical strength, the spine, feet, hips, legs, and stiffness.
RED is beneficial for states of exhaustion, to treat arthritis, muscle pains and
spasms, bacterial diseases, hernias and impotence. RED is also used to treat
diseases of the sensory nerves - hearing, taste, slight, smells and touch.
RED stimulates slow or inert metabolism and accelerates the expulsion of
toxins and metabolic waste. RED helps to relieve constipation, assists in the
production of blood and expands the blood vessels.
RED helps us to plant our feet firmly on the ground. If you are someone who
has a tendency to dwell in the past, the colour RED helps to root you to the
present; the here and now.
RED is not suitable to treat people who suffer from being too hot, who are
‘hot-headed’ or agitated, or who suffer from high blood pressure and a pre-
disposition to hot flushes. An excess of RED can be over-stimulating and
may cause irritability.
