Medicine

“Music is the medicine of the
soul…”

— Plato —
Music effects on the cardiovascular system

People, who listened to music for 30 minutes, had

lower blood pressure, slower heart rates and less
distress
 Music improves the immune system
function and reduces levels of the stress
hormone Cortisol. That is why the music
is associated with relaxation
 Music therapy is not that new for the world

In ancient Greece music was used to ease stress, promote

sleep and reduce pain. Native Americans and Africans use
singing as part of their healing rituals
Vibroacustic therapy
Do you know why
people listen to music?
Psychologist say that
music acts as an
exercise that warms
up selected brain
cells, allowing them
to process
information more
efficiantly
 The university of California conducted an
experiment

I GROUP II GROUP III GROUP

Listened to Mozart piano Listened to relaxation Waited in silence

sonata tape
It is an interesting fact,
that “the Mozart effect”
is modest (8 to 9 points)
and temporary (15
minute)
At last, Musicions actually
make better doctors
Music is refined intellectual art that requires

articulation Attention to ditails Lot of practise

Much like the art and science of medicine

Thanks!
