We’ve all heard of using music for relaxation and stress relief, but did you know that music can also help to heal the body as well as a spirit? In fact, science indicates that regular exposure to music can help enhance brain function, can help improve sleep patterns, can help calm cravings in emotional eaters, and can even help in the treatment of migraine headaches. But the buck doesn't stop there. If you're interested in learning more about the many benefits music can bring to the human body as well as other life forms, read on for some additional information.
Interestingly enough, when testing the theories of music for health on humans, scientists also conducted a series of tests to find the results of how music affects animals as well as plants. For brevity sake we will first concentrate on only domesticated dogs and cats. First of all, cats that were exposed to music on a daily basis were found to be more affectionate and less aggressive around small children. And the dogs that were exposed to music on a regular basis, had fewer indoor accidents, and appeared to have a more calm demeanor in general.
Perhaps more interesting than results found when studying pets were the results found when studying plants. Research indicates that plants exposed to any style of music on a daily basis, through their gestational life produced more fruit, grew taller in height, shed less foliage, and had better coloring than did their nonmusical counterparts. It seems the old adage about talking to your plants may be overshadowed by singing to your plants. The findings of these studies may potentially improve the crop potential by many of American farms.
It stands to reason, that if music can improve the health and well-being of cats, dogs, and even plants, the results that music therapy will have on humans (and our highly complicated physiology) should be quite impressive.
We challenge you to spend some time discovering your own musical tastes. Whether you plan to continue listening to music simply for stress relief or you're hoping music therapy can help relieve the symptoms of a chronic ailment, choosing a genre and the style of music that suit your tastes will be undoubtedly beneficial. Don't spend another day without experiencing the joy and the freedom that music can bring to your life.
