Red relates to the energy center located at the base of the spinal column. It stimulates and excites the nerves and blood, aiding in treatment of deficiencies of smell, sight, hearing, taste, and touch. Red increases awareness and encourages vitality, leadership, strength, and courage to help you feel more secure, connected, and full of life. It is great for sports when you need to be aggressive or to push an athlete through a plateau. Red builds the hemoglobin, energizing the liver, and can be used to counteract lack of energy, anemia, impotence, and low blood pressure.
