Colorpuncture, cromopuncture, or color light acupuncture, is a pseudoscientific[1] alternative medicine practice based on "mystical or supernatural" beliefs[2] which asserts that colored lights can be used to stimulate acupuncture points to promote healing and better health. It is a form of chromotherapy or color therapy.[3] There is no known anatomical or histological basis for the existence of acupuncture points or meridians,[4] and there is no scientific support for the efficacy of colorpuncture.[5][6]
