Music therapy has shown to benefit cancer patients, and children with ADD. Hospitals are beginning to use it to ease depression, pain, and promote movement.
Music effects brain waves in such ways that slow music will make a person more calm and music with a faster beat will make people think faster and stay more concentrated, for example, even I at this very moment am listening to fast music and it is allowing me to stay on top of this blog post.
Studies have also amazingly shown that music can lower blood pressure as well as boost immunity and ease muscle tension.
