Sounds relaxing

Did you know that sound has healing properties? From Women's World, studies tell us that sounds have the power to heal broken bones, cure life-threatening heart ailments, and fight depression.

First- the sound of a harp can cure heart problems. The powerful vibrations from harp music can reduce blood pressure, calm the nervous system, and normalize irregular heartbeats. Some operating rooms now play harp music during delicate heart surgeries.

A purring cat can heal broken bones, because they purr at the same frequency already being orthopedists to strengthen bones, and the sound can even help speed the healing of fractures, and studies are underway to see if purring can help to prevent osteoporosis.

When it comes to soothing pain, the sound of waterfalls work. A study found that patients with chronic pain exposed to sounds of rushing water experienced a 30% drop in stress hormones, and confirmed that their pain had diminished.

And what sound helps to ward off depression and anxiety? Ocean waves. It's a very relaxing form of white noise that sub-consciously induces serenity. Students who listened to ocean sounds had less anxiety, less depression, and higher test scores than students who weren't exposed to the sounds of the crashing surf.
