Indigo and The Brow “Third Eye” Chakra
Color Therapy Indigo - The Brow or “Third Eye” Chakra
Indigo is a color that many of us would call navy blue. It is related to the third eye, or brow chakra and affects intuition, enhances a sense of responsibility and has a calming, sedative affect.
Physical ailments that are believed to experience relief from indigo include sinusitis and lung infections. It helps detoxify the body and slows excessive bleeding. It affects vision, hearing and the sense of smell as well.

Because of its sedative affect, indigo is not usually a good choice for rooms where there needs to be activity. It works quite well in quiet areas, though, particularly bedrooms or studies.
Too much indigo can cause a feeling of loneliness or depression. Use orange to balance these affects.
