Colo(u)r-charged water

[tribal girl]

Just wondering if anyone else has ever used colour-charged water for healing purposes before?.

For those of you who don't have the foggiest what I'm talking about, here is a snippet of info.

Color-Charged Water

An ordinary glass of water can become medicinal when charged by sunlight. Tape a piece of colored paper or acetate around the glass (a colored bottle is even better) and let it sit in sunlight from six to eight hours. Even if the sun does not directly shine on the water it will still be charged. A wineglass of water taken three time daily has the similar effect as a thirty minute colored light application.

An example of this is drinking red water in the morning to wake one up or invigorate the person, and drinking indigo at night to relax him. Treatment by the use of color-charged water is called Hydrochromotherapy.

The primary colors of the spectrum and their healing properties:

Violet: Violet is at the opposite end of the spectrum from red. Good for mental disorders, the nervous system, baldness and female complaints.

Indigo: Indigo is a slight narcotic removing fears and reassures those afraid of the dark. Good for emotional problems, deafness, and especially good for the eyes, even cataracts.

Blue: Blue acts as an antiseptic and cooling agent. Excellent for inflammations including those of internal organs. Good for cuts and burns, also for rheumatism.

Green: Green is the great healer. It is neutral to the other others. It serves as a general tonic and neutralizer. When in doubt, use green. Excellent for heart problems, neuralgic headaches, ulcers, head colds and boils.

Yellow: Yellow is excellent in treating bowel and intestine problems. It can act as a mild sedative to relieve many fears and give a mental uplift. It is good for treating indigestion and heartburn, constipation, piles, also menstrual problems.

Orange: Orange is not as harsh of a color as red, but has many of the same properties. Very good for illnesses of the respiratory system such as asthma and bronchitis; also good as a tonic and laxative.

Red: Red is at one end of the spectrum. It is a warm color which invigorates, excellent when used for treatment of persons having heat diseases, anemia, and liver diseases.

In my teens I briefly experimented with the whole Wicca thing, which is basically paganism, but with spells and whatnot. A huge part of that religion focuses on colour healing, gem therapy, tinctures etc.

Anyway, I used to use colour-charged water almost daily, and I was certain that I sensed a lift in my well being. It could of course have been the classic case of mind over matter, but I genuinely felt as though it was taking effect. So I'm gonna start doing this again, and wondered if anyone else had any experience with this, either in the past, or present time.

Mods, shift over to Philosophy and Spirituality if you think it's more suited to that forum.

Not sure what to say. There is no scientific basis for charging water with color.

I'm always intrigued to see that in these worldviews, there's never a color (or crystal) that affects you negatively.

Also, any coincidence that the colors and their remedies correspond to eurocentric associations of the colors?

I'm feeling kinda gay at the moment, I'ma sip on some pink water

but SRSLY...I dig this a lot :D A famous Japanese doctor ( http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm ) Masuro Emoto, took pictures of water crystals from different parts of earth. He found that positive prayer improved the structure and beauty of the crystals, while polluted with toxins and "bad words " F'ed the crystals.

Colored water, without scientific merit you say? I saw keep sipping on your chromotherapeautic water chica!

If it works for you, DO IT! :D

BUMP

I'm sucking on a blue balloon filled with n20, but I'm not relaxed or sad. This colour therapy is BS!
