Colorpuncture uses light with pure color on the acupuncture points, meridians, and other points particular to the Colorpuncture system, to effect healing in the cells and systems (endocrine, lymphatic, coordination system, etc) of the body. It is the name of the treatment that has arisen from the research of Peter Mandel. It uses Energy Emission analysis (Kirlian photography) for diagnosis. Kirlian photography enables the practitioner to record energy imbalances in the patterns of energy emitted by the patients fingers and toes. They are also used to measure the results of the Colorpuncture treatments.

Peter Mandel coined the term "esogetics" refering to a combination of esoteric intuitive knowledge, with energetics, or the Western models of energy and biophysics to describe his basic tenets for Colorpuncture. Mandel refers to Man's "Program" - as in each man and woman's individual potential in life. This "Program" or potential must be intuited, sensed, understood, and finally manifested if Man is to be fulfilled. That fulfillment of his potential is done via the body and mind, and fuels the manifestation of health in the individual. Health therefore according to Mandel, is related to and dependent on this intuiting, and manifesting of potential, individual blue print. Dysfunction and dis-ease comes from not understanding, seeing, and manifesting potentials. In that way it is a completely holistic method.

The treatments come in many forms, from brain wave stimulation and balancing, to treatments in sound, to treatments in light. The light and color treatments involve the application of colored light to the skin with an instrument that resembles a simple pen light (left). (see light sets) In spite of its name it does not use needles or pierce the skin. Rather the color sensitivity of acupuncture receptors in the skin is used. Acupuncture meridians, among others, then channel healing information encoded in the light to targeted cells and dysfunctional organs where it is needed. "Color," says Mandel, "is life energy carrying information.... The information heals and the energy carries that information through the cells." The method is based also on the photon light research of Fritz Popp, who uncovered the photon (light particle) communication between the cells.
