Digital Music: The remuneration of Music on Health

Published on April 23, 2008

Music benefits our health in many ways. From the current
research in music therapy focuses on proving that music has
measurable physiological and psychological effects. Such effects
are not difficult to find or to measure, and are revealed by
studies of human, animal, and plant behavior, EEG recordings,
hormone assays, and cellular growth patterns. Frequently these
results have been misinterpreted and exaggerated by the popular
media and by marketing people, which is unfortunate, since the
documented effects are remarkable in themselves

Different types of music may significantly affect blood cortisol
levels. Cortisol and adrenaline are two “stress” hormones that
are secreted by the adrenal glands in response to ACTH. In one
experiment, patients who had just been informed of their need
for imminent surgery, were tested for blood cortisol
concentrations after listening to a calming piece of music,
chosen by each patient in consultation with a music therapist;
cortisol levels were reduced by 50% compared with the control
group that did not listen to any music or digital music.

Not only that various researchers then determined that the range
of frequencies around 5000 Hz were especially potent in
stimulating plant growth
