What Color Are You? By Christina Leon, Staff Writer Color can have a profound effect on how we feel both mentally and physically without our realizing it. Color has been used as healing tool for thousands of years. Hippocrates was given the title “The Father of Modern Medicine” and his only healing tools were color crystals, salves, dyes and oils. Hippocrates along with the ancient Egyptians and the Native American Indians used color and colored light to heal. Below is a list of the 7 colors of the spectrum that are visible to the naked eye.
