Chromotherapy, sometimes called color therapy, colorology or cromatherapy, is a pseudoscientific form of alternative medicine which proposes certain diseases can be treated by exposure to certain colors. Its practice is considered to be quackery. Chromotherapists claim to be able to use light in the form of color to balance "energy" lacking from a person's body, whether it be on physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels. For example, they thought that shining a colored light on a person would cure constipation. Historically, chromotherapy has been associated with mysticism and occultism

Kleurentherapie of chromotherapie is een alternatieve geneeswijze die ervan uitgaat dat kleuren en licht gebruikt kunnen worden om een verstoorde energiebalans te herstellen en daarmee klachten te verhelpen. De disbalans zou veroorzaakt kunnen worden door zowel fysieke, psychische, emotionele, geestelijke als spirituele oorzaken. De behandeling gebeurt met allerlei gekleurde voorwerpen die op verschillende plaatsen van het lichaam geplaatst worden. Er is geen wetenschappelijk bewijs dat deze therapie werkzaam is.
