Sound Therapy has been used for treatment of chronic pain, anxiety, stress reduction, improved sleep quality, improved circulation and wound recovery and to reduce ‘brain fog’.
Sound is a series of frequency waves that travel through the air and are received by our ears. These waves hit the eardrum, causing it to vibrate and transmit the vibrations deeper into our ear through a fluid-filled tunnel that contains hair cells. These vibrations push and cause the fluid to move in waves, which in turn causes the hair cells to move. The movement of the hair cells is transmitted from the auditory nerve in the ear to the brain to be decoded.
The brain instructs the body through electrical frequency stimuli. Sound therapy uses low frequencies that fall in the alpha-theta-gamma-delta range, which corresponds to the brainwave frequencies that vibrate in the lower range.
