THE EFFICACY OF COLOR THERAPY TORCH: A PILOT STUDY

Abstract

Background: Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes visible light within the electromagnetic spectrum to promote health and well-being. With historical roots in ancient healing traditions, modern scientific advancements have refined its application in phototherapy, photobiomodulation, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Colors are believed to interact with biological systems at the cellular level, influencing physiological and psychological functions. Despite increasing interest, limited studies have systematically assessed the therapeutic efficacy of color therapy devices. This study investigates the impact of a newly developed portable color therapy torch, the Azeemi Chroma Torch, on mood, energy levels, sleep quality, and pain relief.
Materials and Methods: We designed the Azeemi Chroma Torch as a safe and portable colour therapy device incorporating seven interchangeable colored acrylic sheets to deliver targeted light therapy. The study involved a six-week pilot intervention with 100 participants, each receiving 30-minute sessions three times per week. The torch emitted specific wavelengths corresponding to therapeutic colors, and treatment protocols were customized for conditions Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Patient responses to different colors were recorded based on mood, energy levels, sleep quality, and pain relief. Standardized exposure protocols were followed to ensure safety and efficacy.
Results: The intervention yielded significant therapeutic benefits across multiple parameters. 80% of participants reported an improvement in overall mood. Sleep quality improved in 70%, suggesting potential modulation of circadian rhythms. Psychological benefits included a 60% reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms. The observed benefits align with the hypothesized mechanisms of chromotherapy including neurohormonal regulation.
Conclusion: The findings confirm that the Azeemi Chroma Torch is an effective intervention for improving mood, energy levels, sleep quality, and pain relief. The results support its clinical application for treating SAD and related conditions, highlighting its potential as an accessible, non-invasive therapy. A dose-response relationship suggests that longer exposure enhances therapeutic effects, though individual variability necessitates personalized treatment protocols. Future research should explore the effects of color therapy across diverse populations, investigate its impact on cognitive functions, and examine its potential in modulating inflammation at a molecular level. These insights could inform the development of targeted light-based therapeutic interventions for broader clinical applications
