Healing music and its impact on the human body

The fact that music has an impact on living organisms has been known for a long time. Even in the 3rd century BC in the Parthian kingdom, tunes were chosen for the treatment of heart pain and nervous disorders. Some tribes of the American Indians believed that with the help of sound it is possible to connect the forces of the earth and the sky. Indians Ojibwa sat around the patient and sang songs, accompanying themselves with pumpkin rattles. And the healing music of the Winebago Indians helped to heal the wounds. Also ratchets and drums were used to improve the healing properties of plants. Pythagoras also composed music, which was based on certain rhythms and melodies. With its help, he not only treated people, but also restored spiritual harmony. Once he even managed to reassure the music of an angry man who, in a fit of jealousy, wanted to burn the house. Although before this could not cope with either relatives or neighbors.

In the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in music therapy. Healing music in the West is now used in three directions. It is used to relieve pain, for occupational therapy and for collective treatment of patients in some hospitals, most often mental patients. Scientists have found that such therapy is the most economical and safe way to get rid of many diseases. In addition, music therapy has no contraindications.

A pleasant melody has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, on the circulatory system, on the digestive and respiratory organs. Medical music helps increase the number of lymphocytes in the blood. And it helps the body to fight disease. In any case, at a time when a harmonious melody sounds, the metabolism improves in the human body, the nervous system calms down, blood circulation and breathing are stimulated. Those who listen to such music, can forget what insomnia, bad mood, feelings of insecurity and bad memory. Good music helps even develop creativity.

Such an effect of music on the human body scientists explain by the fact that a person is inherently a vibrating system. And music is also synchronized and orderly vibration. The melody introduces its order into the human system and adjusts it in its own way. And what is the disease? This is a process during which the diseased organ ceases to be in harmony with the rest of the body. And with the help of music, this desynchronization can be either increased or eliminated altogether. There is only a question in the correct selection of the melody.

Among most people there is an opinion that heavy music, for example, rock, sets the body to self-destruction, and classical promotes harmonization. But not all so unambiguously. Same music in different people can cause a variety of emotions. And not all classical works are medical music. Just like not all rock melodies contribute to the self-destruction of the body. For example, some of Chopin's creations act on man as a psychological poison. In them the composer expressed his weakness and melancholy. In a similar way, many of Strauss's works or Wagner's "Venusberg Scene" act on people.

Another thing is Mozart. His music is considered a universal means, which has a beneficial effect both on living organisms and on inanimate objects. Scientists have found that cows that listen to Mozart, increase milk yield. And the Japanese believe that from his music the bread becomes more lush, and the sake is more fragrant. The works of this composer are recommended to listen with headache and cold, with mental tension and with depression. In short, always and everywhere.

And folk folklore. Take a lighter lullaby. Such therapeutic music for sleep has a bright soothing effect due to a soft melody, lulling rhythm and even sound. The lullaby helps to strengthen emotional and spiritual connection with the child, and at the same time helps to get rid of insomnia by the mothers themselves. In many slow parts of sonatas, concerts, symphonies and violin quartets of composers of the end of 18 and only 19 centuries there are the main signs of such lullabies.

Also a great contribution to music therapy is made by Chinese medical music. The medicine of this country pays great attention to music and sound. For example, a doctor in this field, Wang Xu-Dong managed to create magic melodies that enhance the immune system of a person and increase his ability to self-healing and self-healing. To create this music, Chinese instruments such as erhu, guzeng, xiao, di, sheng, pipa, zong-hu, as well as cellos, violins and voice accompaniment were used. With the help of such melodies, the soul, body and mind of man are built into a single system.
