Music benefits
our health in many ways. From the current
research in music therapy focuses on proving that music

and cellular growth patterns. Frequently these results have been misinterpreted
and exaggerated by the popular media and by marketing
people, which is
unfortunate, since the documented effects are remarkable in

Different types of music may significantly affect blood cortisol

the adrenal glands in response to ACTH. In one experiment,
patients who had just been informed of their
need for imminent surgery, were tested for blood cortisol
concentrations after listening to a calming piece of music, chosen
by each patient in consultation with a music therapist; cortisol
