Color Therapy for the Kitchen
Can changing the colors in your kitchen change the emotional well-being of your family?
Scientists, psychologists, ancient Greeks and Romans have studied the concept of color therapy for thousands of years. They found that certain colors evoke emotions and moods within us, aid in memory recall, and can possible have healing effects on our bodies.
According to WholeHealthMD.com, “The different colors we see in the world around us are the result of the eye perceiving light vibrating at different frequencies.” Those varying vibrations have varied effects on our bodies.
There are some standard colors that have a certain effect on the majority of the population:
Color Emotion Effects on Health
RED Passion and Energy Helps w/ amnesia
Yellow Joy and Concentration Heals digestive ailments
Green Security and Nature Heals the Heart
Blue Peace and Organization Re-Energizes
Violets Transformation and Creativity Emotional Healing

Paint is the most obvious way to change the color of a room, but you can incorporate your chosen color scheme into your life very easily. Change up your environment by adding live plants, cushions, dishes, placemats, pillows, artwork or borders.
If you don’t buy into the idea of “healing colors”, that’s OK, too. Maybe changing the colors in your kitchen would just be nice, for a change.
