ABOUT MUSIC THERAPY

Music Therapy has roots in traditional mystical and healing practices of cultures through out the world. In Indian culture, the ancient Vedas reflect the eminence of it. Music is the one thing that transcends all human emotion. If the world has just one language and religion, it would be music.

​

Melody, harmony, and rhythm stimulate the senses, which affect our breathing, heart rate, and other bodily functions. Listening to music triggers the release of opioids in the brain, the body's natural pain relievers and increases the amount of dopamine, a mood-enhancing chemical, in the brain. Music as therapy, has shown positive and beneficial effects in managing a host of medical conditions like high blood pressure, insomnia, diabetes, migraine, joint pain, acidity, arthritis etc. and is effective in  the treatment of many mental health conditions such as depression, trauma, anger, stress etc. Music can help someone process emotions- particularly from trauma and grief, and can be calming balm for anxiety.

​

What better 'medicine' than a 'treatment' that has only positive side effects and 'therapy' that is actually enjoyable? Such is the 'miracle of the healing power of music'!
