%X The Biological effect of blue color therapy on
self-reported anxiety in college students was determined. Female students (n = 150)
of age 18 - 24 from a Government college (w) Gulberg in Lahore, Pakistan were
randomized into two groups (n = 75 each), Group A (chromotherapy) and Group B
(control). For the treatment of anxiety, two methods of chromo therapy used
were Hydrochromotherapy (Blue chromotized water) and through watching colors
(Blue chart). After 2, 4 and 6 weeks, the number of students experiencing
improvement in their anxiety from Group A were 60, 9 and 0 respectively. In
Group B, students that recovered from anxiety were 17, 12 and 7 after 2, 4 and
6 weeks respectively. Relation between therapy and improvement in anxiety was
examined using <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¦Ö</span></i><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> statistic. Relation between these variables was significant, (1, n = 150) =
11.24, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">p</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> &lt; 0.01. After this study,
453 nm (blue color) was proved to be an effective intervention for anxiety in
students. It confers a greater improvement in anxiety than does no treatment
(control). This is cost effective yet an effective way of treatment with no
apparent side effects.</span>
