MUSIC AS MEDICINE.

Music – a beautiful expression of universal cosmic energy. It is basically a sound that comes to our ear and than perceived by our mind. When that sound becomes harmonic in nature with different frequencies it makes one whole pattern.we know such series of sounds repeated at right intervals as music.
According to oxford music is the art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. This harmony and expression of emotions produces a great stress relief.

It is very well known fact that we used to use music for getting refreshed and relaxed. This refreshment and relaxation are by it self having great healing energies within and this is one the best proof that music can be used as medicine.

In today’s era to survive in the competitions and to face different stressful situations we need to give our constant efforts which knowingly or unknowingly creates stress for our mind and body as well…and gradually we start suffering from different stress related disorders such as stress induced diabetes mellitus , blood pressure , autoimmune disorders , insomnia etc.

Music is the handiest tool to relive such stress. It is very well proven fact that music produces secretions of such neuro transmitters which relives unnecessary pressure and gives sound sleep. Music increases one’s efficiency to work remarkably. It increases one’s concentration levels which ultimately leads person to more efficient work.

Music is made up from different frequencies and every frequency is having different levels of its effect. So all different type of compositions is having different effect on individuals and can help in different systems of our body and in different diseases accordingly.

To use music as medicine there should always be a combination of science and art. There is a very scientific approach to apply music as medicine. It is having its own norms and forms. Just listening any music can not make any ones pathology or disease regressed. To apply music the Doctor should have a complete knowledge of diagnosis and prognosis. The physician should have clear knowledge of use of right raga and even should know the time of application of it.

Such scientific approach can always lead a person into right direction of cure only through music.
Much research work is required in this area. Whatever I am doing I will keep sharing here…and even you can also participate in my research work.

It is all about creating harmony within a noisy body. Daily body encounters various disturbances especially we used to encounter many digestive problems and physical exhaustion. Even after lot of work many people may suffer from insomnia and can not get good rest which ultimately leads to a stressed morning and creates irritability. All these cycles can not be handled by different medications but in all such cases which seemingly can be termed as minor but plays a major role in life and music can work as a key feature in diluting all these stress and can create a sound sleep without any harmful pills.

Music is all about allowing the self to get connected with the different vibrations can make us experience how these simple melodies can prevent complex diseases if they are used scientifically.

Have a melodious experience within…
