Chromotherapeutics practices were notes since the ancient Egypt: the mythology Egyptian assigns to the god Thot the discovery of chromotherapy. According to tradition, both the Egyptians the Greeks were use of mineral, stones, crystals and ointments coloured, in addition to paint the walls of places of care. The Greeks shared the colors the fundamental elements (air, fire, water and land) and these to the four "moods" or "fluid" of the body. The health was considered as resulting from the balance of these elements, while the disease it was the imbalance. The colours, as they were associated with moods, were also used as a treatment against the diseases. The philosopher Avicenna claimed that the color is a symptom of the disease observable; created a report that put in the colours with the temperature and physical condition of the body (for example: the red was scroll through the blood and was therefore not recommended in the case of injury or bleeding, while the blue "cool-down" and favoured the blood-clotting). The Ayurvedic Medicine has always taken account of how the colors will influence the balance of the centres of subtle energy associated with the main glands of the body. The Chinese would its physical action of various colors: Yellow restored the intestine, the violet decreased the epileptic seizures. In China, even the windows in the room of the patient were covered with sheets suitable colour and garments of the sick were to be the same shade.
