Using color therapy is simple and easy. Every color has benefits that we can use to aid in the healing process. There are a variety of ways to utilize color. Read on to learn how to use the color indigo in color therapy.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Large clear glass bottle
  • Indigo colored filter
  1. Step 1

    Indigo can be used for the following problems: hyroid and respiratory depressant, sedative, pain reliever and astringent.

  2. Step 2

    If you're looking to add indigo to your diet, you need to alternate the blue and purple/violet foods. The blue foods are blueberries, blue plums and other similar foods. The purple/violet foods are grapes, blackberries, beet tops and purple broccoli.

  3. Step 3

    You can infuse color into the water you drink. Fill a bottle with spring or distilled water. Take an indigo filter (see next step) and wrap it around the bottle of water in a window. It doesn't have to be in direct sunlight. Allow the bottle to sit in the window for at least an hour, three hours, if it's overcast. After the proper amount of time, remove the filter and place the bottle in the fridge. Drink six to eight ounces, two or three times a day or whenever you feel the need.

  4. Step 4

    Color filters can be found in photography shops and even some specialty shops. Large sheets of cello-wrap can also be used. You can use the colors singly or in groups of two.

  5. Step 5

    You can also wear indigo in your clothing or in jewelry. Lapis is a gemstone that comes in various shades of two that would work for the color indigo.

  6. Step 6

    A small indigo filter can be placed in front of a light bulb and focused on areas of the body for up to 15 minutes at a time. Indigo can be used on almost any painful area.
