How do our eyes perceive various shades?

Friends, we already know that everything in the world is energy. In the form of particles of matter and waves, various energies affect our senses. And the second helps us to get information from the outside world and perceive it in a certain way. In our retina, the eyes have special light -sensitive cells – Rhodopsin using a special pigment of different lengths using a special pigment, which can distinguish between light waves, transform them into nervous impulses and send signals to the brain.

Once upon a time, people found that white light was not monophonic as previously thought, but consists of a combination of waves of different lengths that could be perceived by the visual center of our brain as different colors. When the white sunlight passing through the rain is divided into seven different colors, we can observe this phenomenon in the form of a rainbow in the sky. The names and series of these colors were learned according to a well -known reminder of childhood: “Every (red) hunter (orange) (yellow) (blue) pheasant (blue) pheasant (purple)). “It is surprising that the retina has only three types of light-sensitive cell cells that can distinguish three primary colors: red, green and purple-blue.

Objects often reflect a combination of light waves of different lengths at various proportions. Thus, our incredible brain can distinguish 10 million colors and tones.

Through vision, we get the highest amount of information about the world – up to 83 %, for example by a hearing – with 11 %and with a sense of odor – 3.5 %. For this reason, it is not surprising that the visual knowledge in the form of color that transmits different energy to our cells, is very strong and can use our emotional state and good behavior in the form of color treatment.

Color Therapy History

In ancient times, the healers of India, Egypt and China used different colors to influence the mental and physical state of people and get rid of different disorders. Therefore, according to historians, thousands of years ago, Chinese doctors treated stomach diseases, used yellow in the patient’s clothes and surrounding home objects, and red feverish patients were suggested to wear red scarves.

A great contribution to the examination of the color of the color of mental reactions and the effect of the processes in the body is a great contribution to the Russian scientist and neuropathologist VM Bekhterev. The colors, which are closer to the warm part of the Spectrum Law, have been exciting and revived the human situation, helping to cope with depression and mental pressure. However, cooler tones, on the contrary, calms, slows down neuropsychiatric reactions and reduces the manifestation of sensuality and mental excitement.

American scientist Edwin Babbitt also examined the therapeutic effect of various colors of the spectrum on the human body. In its practices, he realized that the therapeutic effect of red in the treatment of infertility was a blue effect in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, which was used successfully to eliminate neuropsychiatric disorders.

The effect of colors on the work of the cardiovascular system for modern color therapy was discovered by German Doctor Georg von Langesdorf. Red color has managed to prove that it helps to expand the vessels and strengthen the peripheral blood source, and unlike blue, slowing down the metabolic level.
