Abstract
This study focuses on the relationship between color frequency and healing the human body. There is evidence that color has been implemented as a healing process through therapy, dating back to thousands of years ago. I want to discover an alternative way of healing that is effective and reliable. Not only do I want to show people that they can effectively heal their bodies and minds, I also want to educate them on why it is so important and how easy it can be to practice at home. Through research and experimentation, I will discover a connection between brain activity and physiological responses to color. I will use this information to apply colors to healing methods in alternative medicine practices. The color therapy results can then be implemented by designers and artists as a healing tool for essentially anyone. Considering this method is noninvasive and completely natural, anyone can benefit from it. The complexity depends on the severity of the issue, and I will design a solution that this is beneficial for everyone. A proposed design for a Health and Healing Center will provide a safe place of healing, learning, and loving. The center will focus on aiding mentally and physically ill individuals. Color therapy is a main element in the healing design and will be implemented in all healing processes at the center.
