Ancient Egyptian Healing Power

The ancient Egyptians used the power of the sun's rays to bath patients in specific colors to treat illness and emotional states. Today, you too can harness the same ancient healing power. Check out this list of colors I found on CatholicDigest.org and make color work for you:
Black: Promotes self-confidence, power, and strength. But, too much black can make a person feel depressed. Dress in black if you need to make a good impression except when you're trying to console a friend whose pet just died.
Violet Brings about a feeling of peacefulness and understanding; promotes sleep, suppresses appetite. But, too much violet can make a person feel disoriented. If you're having trouble sleeping, place a purple bulb in your bedside table lamp. Turn the light on when you go to bed.
Blue: Calms the mind; gets rid of nervous tension; suppresses appetite. But too much blue can make a person feel cold, sad, or depressed. Are you facing a test or other stressful challenge today? Dress in blue and wear a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses.
Green: Mentally and physically relaxing; balances emotions; creates openness between you and others. But too much green can make a person in a bad mood feel worse. Next time you have a headache or muscle aches, look at a plant. Even better, surround yourself with foliage.
Yellow: Energizes; promotes learning; improves memory; stimulates appetite; combats the doldrums. But too much yellow can make a person feel tired or irritated. If you really want to remember something, take notes on a yellow legal pad or yellow sticky notes.
Orange: Like the sun, orange is a natural healer and mood lifter; has a gentle warming effect, and increases appetite. But too much orange can make nervous people more agitated. If you're feeling low, eat cake and drink a glass of orange juice.
Red: Stimulates brainwave activity; increases heart rate and blood pressure; improves circulation. But too much red can make people aggressive and agitated. Trying out for the team or need to make a speech? Wear something red - a scarf, cap, or shirt.
Pink: Suppresses appetite; relaxes muscles; relieves tension and violent tendencies. But too much pink can make people sleepy. Going home with bad news? Give your spouse a bouquet of pink flowers before delivering it.
