Music has a certain therapeutic effect on people's body and mind. According to research, the unique melody and rhythm of some music can lower people's blood pressure, slow down the speed of basic metabolism and breathing, and make people's physiological response under pressure mild. It is not new for western countries to combine music with medical system and widely use it in various psychological and physiological treatments.
The therapeutic function of music is to directly vibrate the internal organs through the physical function of music. Because sound is a kind of vibration, and the human body itself is composed of many vibration systems, such as the beating of the heart, the peristalsis of the stomach, the fluctuation of brain waves and so on. When you hear the vibration of music and the vibration of internal organs, it will make the human body secrete a physiologically active substance, regulate blood flow and nerves, and make people full of vitality and vitality.
In addition, music has a positive function, which is a way to improve creativity and thinking, make the right brain flexible and guide important alpha brain waves. The unique music rhythm and melody can rest our left brain, which is usually responsible for language, analysis and reasoning; In contrast, it stimulates the right brain, which is in charge of emotion, creativity and imagination, and plays a strong role in improving potential abilities such as creativity and information absorption.
In the early19th century, music has been used to promote patients' sleep. Doctors pointed out that listening to suitable music for insomnia patients can really reduce the use of sleeping pills and sedatives. The rhythm of music will affect the harmony of human body; Compared with young people, the neoepinephrine in the elderly is obviously increased; This hormone has been confirmed in recent medical research to be related to the occurrence of sleep and the number of waking up at night. The scientific research of music promoting sleep has been confirmed in Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union. The American Medical Review Committee has announced that most sleeping pills will fail after two weeks of use by patients. Based on the above reasons, music therapy has been paid more and more attention and widely used by medical staff.
Although different studies use different music, their music has one thing in common: the beat of music is slightly equal to the rate of human heartbeat. Music that is too fast or too slow is not suitable for promoting sleep; Too fast will make people nervous, too slow will make people feel suspense.
Medical experiments have proved that the type of music will affect the blood circulation of the brain, and some concerts will increase the blood volume of the brain and make blood activities smooth; On the contrary, it will slow down the blood circulation and relieve external stimuli. For example, eating in a restaurant, soft music can make appetite and digestion smooth, and fully enjoy the satisfaction and pleasure of eating. But dance music with fast melody or marching music with strong rhythm will make you nervous and affect the function of digestive system.
Not any sweet music can achieve the effect of improving the soul! According to the research on Virtue Day by music psychologists, if the music we listen to can't make us feel cordial, we can't achieve the effect of relaxing our nerves and relieving stress. The alpha wave in our brain dominates the stable and calm mood of the human body. Listening to psychotherapy music often can effectively strengthen alpha waves, drown out other disturbing brain waves, and achieve the effects of physical and mental relaxation and peace of mind.
