There is something about the colors of a rainbow. Did you ever think you could use color to heal pain, depression, confusion, and chaos in your life? Color is an incredibly influential tool. Humans have used color since the beginning of time. Cavemen painted their caves to please the spirits and construct a festive atmosphere around them. Paintings splashed marvelous colors, and houses were painted in colors. According to Ayurveda, color balances the mental, spiritual, and physical doshas through several different methods.
Today we use color in our homes for all types of reasons including getting rid of bad energy from past events or attracting good energy from future events.

Try yellow, or mauve, soft red, gentle warm orange, light pastel blue, pastel green, and other such wonderful cooling colors.
Colors can also give healing qualities with their own wavelength, and stunningly, they possess their own unique vibration according to Ayurveda and can be used to heal your Ayurvedic body type or dosha.
According to the Ayurveda, humans are all ruled by three different energies, or doshas, known as vata, pitta, and kapha. These doshas are governed by the elements, of earth, water, air, ether, and fire. We’re all made up of a unique combination of these three forces. If you don’t know which dosha is most predominant for you, the Ayurvedic Body Type quiz is a fun and easy way to find out.
Colors when correctly used can balance the three doshas, and have healing effects because they can heal our imbalances. Every color has a regulating feature that is either absorbed or deflected. It is the power within our consciousness and subconscious mind that enables us to self-regulate. We are usually drawn to the colors we need the most
